Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capitol Federal® Financial, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Capitol Funds, Inc. Capitol Funds, Inc. has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Capitol Federal Mortgage Reinsurance Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU provides recognition, measurement, and disclosure guidance for certain obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. ASU 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, which was October 1, 2014 for the Company, and should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The ASU revised the conditions that an entity must meet to elect to use the effective yield method when accounting for qualified affordable housing project investments. Per current accounting guidance, an entity that invests in a qualified affordable housing project may elect to account for that investment using the effective yield method if all required conditions are met. For those investments that are not accounted for using the effective yield method, current accounting guidance requires that the investments be accounted for under either the equity method or the cost method. Certain existing conditions required to be met to use the effective yield method are restrictive and thus prevent many such investments from qualifying for the use of the effective yield method. The ASU replaces the effective yield method with the proportional amortization method and modifies the conditions that an entity must meet to be eligible to use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified affordable housing project investments. If the modified conditions are met, the ASU permits an entity to use the proportional amortization method to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense. Additionally, the ASU requires new disclosures about all investments in qualified affordable housing projects irrespective of the method used to account for the investments. ASU 2014-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which is October 1, 2015 for the Company, and should be applied retrospectively. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations when adopted.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU also requires disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by a creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which is October 1, 2015 for the Company, and can be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations when adopted.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies principles for recognizing revenue and provides a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Additionally, the ASU provides implementation guidance on several topics and requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information regarding contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which is October 1, 2017 for the Company, and can be applied using either a retrospective or cumulative-effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard, making the ASU effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which is October 1, 2018 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date, which is October 1, 2017 for the Company. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of this ASU.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The ASU makes limited amendments to the current guidance on accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements for certain transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales or as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in ASU 2014-11 are effective for the first quarterly period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the Company, and should be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The expanded disclosure requirements for ASU 2014-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and for quarterly periods beginning after March 15, 2015, which was April 1, 2015 for the Company. The expanded disclosures required by the adoption of the ASU are included in the Repurchase Agreements Note.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The ASU amends the consolidation requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under GAAP. The ASU is expected to result in the deconsolidation of many entities; therefore, companies will need to reevaluate all of their previous consolidation conclusions. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is October 1, 2016 for the Company. Early adoption is allowed for all entities, but the guidance must be applied as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of this ASU.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is October 1, 2016 for the Company, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is allowed for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of this ASU.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This ASU provides explicit guidance related to a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is October 1, 2016 for the Company, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively upon adoption. Early adoption is allowed for all entities. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of this ASU.

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in the ASU represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Amendments in the ASU that require transition guidance are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is October 1, 2016 for the Company. Early adoption is allowed for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments in the ASU were effective upon the issuance of the ASU. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the transition guidance associated with this ASU. All other amendments in the ASU did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Shares acquired by the ESOP are not considered in the basic average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee's individual account. Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock benefit plans are treated as participating securities in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

The unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 were primarily a result of an increase in market yields from the time the securities were purchased. In general, as market yields rise, the fair value of securities will decrease; as market yields fall, the fair value of securities will increase. Management generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary; therefore, these securities have not been classified as other-than-temporarily impaired. The impairment is also considered temporary because scheduled coupon payments have been made, it is anticipated that the entire principal balance will be collected as scheduled, and management neither intends to sell the securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the remaining amortized cost amount, which could be at maturity. As a result of the analysis, management has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments existed at June 30, 2015.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual principal repayments may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges by the issuer.

Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards - Originating and purchasing one- to four-family loans is the Bank's primary lending business, resulting in a loan concentration in residential first mortgage loans. The Bank purchases one- to four-family loans, on a loan-by-loan basis, from a select group of correspondent lenders, and also originates consumer loans, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and construction loans secured by residential, multi-family or commercial real estate. As a result of our one- to four-family lending activities, the Bank has a concentration of loans secured by real property located in Kansas and Missouri.

One- to four-family loans - Full documentation to support an applicant's credit and income, and sufficient funds to cover all applicable fees and reserves at closing, are required on all loans. Loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"). Properties securing one- to four-family loans are appraised by either staff appraisers or fee appraisers, both of which are independent of the loan origination function and approved by our Board of Directors.

The underwriting standards for loans purchased from correspondent and nationwide lenders are generally similar to the Bank's internal underwriting standards. The underwriting of loans purchased from correspondent lenders on a loan-by-loan basis is performed by the Bank's underwriters. For the tables within this Note, correspondent loans purchased on a loan-by-loan basis are included with originated loans and loans purchased in loan packages ("bulk loans") are reported as purchased loans. The Bank also originates construction-to-permanent loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Construction loans are obtained by homeowners who will occupy the property when construction is complete. Construction loans to builders for speculative purposes are not permitted. All construction loans are manually underwritten using the Bank's internal underwriting standards. Construction draw requests and the supporting documentation are reviewed and approved by management. The Bank also performs regular documented inspections of the construction project to ensure the funds are being used for the intended purpose and the project is being completed according to the plans and specifications provided.

Multi-family and commercial loans - The Bank's multi-family, commercial real estate, and related construction loans are originated by the Bank or are in participation with a lead bank. These loans are granted based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantor. At the time of origination, loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios on multi-family, commercial real estate, and related construction loans generally cannot exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loans. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must generally be in excess of the required payments related to the outstanding debt at the time of origination. The Bank generally requires

personal guarantees from the borrowers covering a portion of the debt in addition to the security property as collateral for these loans. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are performed by independent state certified fee appraisers.

Consumer loans - The Bank offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, home improvement loans, auto loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. The Bank also originates a very limited amount of unsecured loans. The Bank does not originate any consumer loans on an indirect basis, such as contracts purchased from retailers of goods or services which have extended credit to their customers. The majority of the consumer loan portfolio is comprised of home equity lines of credit for which the Bank also has the first mortgage or the home equity line of credit is in the first lien position.

The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of an applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of an applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of an applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Credit Quality Indicators - Based on the Bank's lending emphasis and underwriting standards, management has segmented the loan portfolio into three segments: (1) one- to four-family loans; (2) consumer loans; and (3) multi-family and commercial loans. The one- to four-family and consumer segments are further segmented into classes for purposes of providing disaggregated information about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The classes are: one- to four-family loans - originated, one- to four-family loans - purchased, consumer loans - home equity, and consumer loans - other.

The Bank's primary credit quality indicators for the one- to four-family loan and consumer - home equity loan portfolios are delinquency status, asset classifications, LTV ratios, and borrower credit scores. The Bank's primary credit quality indicators for the multi-family and commercial loan and consumer - other loan portfolios are delinquency status and asset classifications.

The following tables present the recorded investment, by class, in loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure, total delinquent loans, current loans, and total recorded investment at the dates presented. The recorded investment in loans is defined as the unpaid principal balance of a loan (net of unadvanced funds related to loans in process), less charge-offs and inclusive of unearned loan fees and deferred costs. At June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, all loans 90 or more days delinquent were on nonaccrual status.

In accordance with the Bank's asset classification policy, management regularly reviews the problem loans in the Bank's portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification. Loan classifications are defined as follows:


•	Special mention - These loans are performing loans on which known information about the collateral pledged or the possible credit problems of the borrower(s) have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower(s) to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the non-performing loan categories.


•	Substandard - A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


•	Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.


•	Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets on the books is not warranted.

The following table sets forth the recorded investment in loans classified as special mention or substandard, by class, at the dates presented. Special mention and substandard loans are included in the formula analysis model if the loans are not individually evaluated for loss. Loans classified as doubtful or loss are individually evaluated for loss. At the dates presented, there were no loans classified as doubtful, and all loans classified as loss were fully charged-off.

The following table shows the weighted average credit score and weighted average LTV for originated and purchased one- to four-family loans and originated consumer home equity loans at the dates presented. Borrower credit scores are intended to provide an indication as to the likelihood that a borrower will repay their debts. Credit scores are updated at least semiannually, with the last update in March 2015, from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios provide an estimate of the extent to which the Bank may incur a loss on any given loan that may go into foreclosure. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

At both June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Company had repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $220.0 million with a weighted average contractual rate of 3.08%. All of the Company's repurchase agreements at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were fixed-rate. See Note 3 for information regarding the amount of securities pledged as collateral in conjunction with repurchase agreements. Securities are delivered to the party with whom each transaction is executed and the party agrees to resell the same securities to the Bank at the maturity of the agreement. The Bank retains the right to substitute similar or like securities throughout the terms of the agreements. The repurchase agreements and collateral are subject to valuation at current market levels and the Bank may ask for the return of excess collateral or be required to post additional collateral due to changes in the market values of these items. The Bank may also be required to post additional collateral as a result of principal payments received on the securities pledged.

The following table presents the scheduled maturity of repurchase agreements by fiscal year as of June 30, 2015:

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements - The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 825. The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at June 30, 2015 or September 30, 2014. The Company's AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as OREO and loans individually evaluated for impairment. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:


•	Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.


•	Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

•

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

AFS Securities - The Company's AFS securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as AOCI in stockholders' equity. The majority of the securities within the AFS portfolio were issued by GSEs. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third party pricing services to determine the fair value of its securities. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates a sample of prices obtained from the third party pricing service for Level 2 securities by comparing them to an independent source. If the price provided by the independent source varies by more than a predetermined percentage from

the price received from the third party pricing service, then the variance is researched by management. The Company did not have to adjust prices obtained from the third party pricing service when determining the fair value of its securities during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 or during fiscal year 2014. The Company's major security types, based on the nature and risks of the securities, are:


•	GSE Debentures - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for similar securities. (Level 2)


•	MBS - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined based on prepayment projections of the underlying mortgages and are discounted using current market yields for benchmark securities. (Level 2)


•	Municipal Bonds - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for securities with similar credit profiles. (Level 2)


•	Trust Preferred Securities - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking prepayment and underlying credit considerations into account. The discount rates are derived from secondary trades and bid/offer prices. (Level 3)

The following tables provide the level of valuation assumption used to determine the carrying value of the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates presented.

(1)	The Company's Level 3 AFS securities had no activity during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, except for principal repayments of $193 thousand and increases in net unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Increases in net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 were $55 thousand.


(2)	The Company's Level 3 AFS securities had no activity during the year ended September 30, 2014, except for principal repayments of $150 thousand and increases in net unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Increases in net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income for the year ended September 30, 2014 were $16 thousand.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for significant assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Loans Receivable - The balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $23.3 million and $26.8 million, respectively. Substantially all of these loans were secured by residential real estate and were individually evaluated to ensure that the carrying value of the loan was not in excess of the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. When no impairment is indicated, the carrying amount is considered to approximate fair value. Fair values were estimated through current appraisals or analyzed based on market indicators. Fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3. Based on this evaluation, the Bank charged-off any loss amounts as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014; therefore, there was no ACL related to these loans.

OREO - OREO primarily represents real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at lower-of-cost or fair value. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices, less estimated selling costs. As these properties are actively marketed, estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3. The fair value of OREO at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $4.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at the dates presented.

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

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, at the dates presented, were as follows:



	June 30, 2015				September 30, 2014
			Estimated				Estimated
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Amount		Value		Amount		Value

Repurchase agreements	220,000		227,630		220,000		227,539

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are considered to approximate their fair value due to the nature of the financial assets. (Level 1)

HTM Securities - Estimated fair values of securities are based on one of three methods: (1) quoted market prices where available; (2) quoted market prices for similar instruments if quoted market prices are not available; (3) unobservable data that represents the Bank's assumptions about items that market participants would consider in determining fair value where no market data is available. HTM securities are carried at amortized cost. (Level 2)

Loans Receivable - The fair value of one- to four-family mortgages and home equity loans are generally estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows, assuming future prepayments and using discount factors determined by prices obtained from securitization markets, less a discount for the cost of servicing and lack of liquidity. The estimated fair value of the Bank's multi-family, commercial, and consumer loans are based on the expected future cash flows assuming future prepayments and discount factors based on current offering rates. (Level 3)

FHLB stock - The carrying value and estimated fair value of FHLB stock equals cost, which is based on redemption at par value. (Level 1)

Deposits - The estimated fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The estimated fair value of these deposits at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $2.21 billion and $2.12 billion, respectively. (Level 1) The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"). The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $2.63 billion and $2.55 billion, respectively. (Level 2)

FHLB borrowings and Repurchase Agreements - The fair value of fixed-maturity borrowed funds is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using current offer rates. (Level 2) The carrying value of FHLB line of credit is considered to approximate its fair value due to the nature of the financial liability. (Level 1)

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2015 for potential recognition and disclosure. There have been no material events or transactions which would require adjustments to the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2015.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary may, from time to time, make written or oral "forward-looking statements," including statements contained in documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC.

•	our ability to invest funds in wholesale or secondary markets at favorable yields compared to the related funding source;


•	our ability to access cost-effective funding;


•	the future earnings and capital levels of the Bank and the continued non-objection by our primary federal banking regulators, to the extent required, to distribute capital from the Bank to the Company, which could affect the ability of the Company to pay dividends in accordance with its dividend policy;


•	fluctuations in deposit flows, loan demand, and/or real estate values, as well as unemployment levels, which may adversely affect our business;


•	the credit risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in home values, and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the ACL;


•	results of examinations of the Bank and the Company by their respective primary federal banking regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our ACL;


•	changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines;

•	the effects of, and changes in, trade, fiscal policies and laws, and monetary and interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB");


•	the effects of, and changes in, foreign and military policies of the United States government;


•	inflation, interest rate, market, monetary, and currency fluctuations;


•	the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing, and quality compared to competitors' products and services;


•	the willingness of users to substitute competitors' products and services for our products and services;


•	our success in gaining regulatory approval of our products and services and branching locations, when required;


•	the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, consumer protection and insurance and the impact of other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;


•	implementing business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than anticipated;


•	significant litigation;


•	technological changes;


•	acquisitions and dispositions;


•	changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and


•	our success at managing the risks involved in our business.

This list of important factors is not all inclusive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank.

As used in this Form 10-Q, unless the context indicates otherwise, "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. "Capitol Federal Savings," and "the Bank," refer to Capitol Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company. The Bank comprises almost all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company and the Company is dependent primarily upon the performance of the Bank for the results of its operations. Because of this relationship, references to management actions, strategies and results of actions apply to both the Bank and the Company. This discussion and

analysis should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, filed with the SEC.

Executive Summary

The following summary should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in its entirety.

We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We attract retail deposits from the general public and invest those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. We also originate consumer loans primarily secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and construction loans secured by residential, multi-family, or commercial real estate. While our primary business is the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans funded through retail deposits, we also purchase whole one- to four-family mortgage loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders, participate in loans with other lenders that are secured by multi-family or commercial real estate, and invest in certain investment securities and MBS using funding from deposits, FHLB borrowings, and repurchase agreements.

The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, MBS, investment securities, and cash, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. On a weekly basis, management reviews deposit flows, loan demand, cash levels, and changes in several market rates to assess all pricing strategies. The Bank's pricing strategy for first mortgage loan products includes setting interest rates based on secondary market prices and local competitor pricing for our local lending markets, and secondary market prices and national competitor pricing for our correspondent lending markets. Generally, deposit pricing is based upon a survey of competitors in the Bank's market areas, and the need to attract funding and retain maturing deposits. The majority of our loans are fixed-rate products with maturities up to 30 years, while the majority of our retail deposits have maturity or repricing dates of less than two years.

The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies and federal regulation of financial institutions. Retail deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investment products, the level of personal income, and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing and other loans, our loan underwriting guidelines compared to those of our competitors, as well as interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions.

Economic conditions in the Bank's local market areas have a significant impact on the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. The industries in our market areas are diversified, especially in the Kansas City metropolitan statistical area, which comprises the largest segment of our loan portfolio and deposit base. As of June 2015, the unemployment rate was 4.5% for Kansas and 5.8% for Missouri, compared to the national average of 5.3%, based on information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Kansas City market area has an average household income of approximately $74 thousand per annum, based on 2014 estimates from the American Community Survey, which is a statistical survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. The average household income in our combined market areas is approximately $69 thousand per annum, with 90% of the population at or above the poverty level, also based on the 2014 estimates from the American Community Survey. The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") price index for Kansas and Missouri has not experienced significant fluctuations during the past 10 years, unlike other market areas of the United States, which indicates relative stability in property values in our local market areas.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, management implemented a daily leverage strategy that involves borrowing up to $2.10 billion on the Bank's FHLB line of credit in two leverage tiers. The first tier of $800.0 million is intended to remain borrowed on the FHLB line of credit for an extended period of time, but will be paid off prior to the December and June quarter ends, only to be re-borrowed at the beginning of the subsequent quarter, to minimize regulatory fees. The second tier of $1.30 billion is borrowed at the beginning of each quarter and paid off prior to each quarter end. The proceeds of the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, are deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The pre-tax yield of the daily leverage strategy, which is defined as the annualized pre-tax income resulting from the transaction as a percentage of the average interest-earning assets associated with the transaction, was 0.20% and 0.21% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Net income attributable to the daily leverage strategy was $699 thousand and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized net income of $19.6 million, compared to net income of $20.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The $381 thousand, or 1.9%, decrease in net income was due primarily to a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by net income associated with the daily leverage strategy.

The net interest margin decreased 38 basis points, from 2.09% for the prior year quarter to 1.71% for the current quarter, primarily as a result of the daily leverage strategy. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been

2.05% for the current quarter, or a four basis point decrease from the prior year quarter. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average yield on the loans receivable portfolio.

The Company recognized net income of $19.2 million during the prior quarter, compared to net income of $19.6 million for the current quarter. The $368 thousand, or 1.9%, increase in net income during the current quarter was due primarily to a decrease in income tax expense resulting largely from a decrease in the effective income tax rate. The net interest margin for the current quarter held steady from the prior quarter at 1.71%. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.05% for the current quarter, compared to 2.04% for the prior quarter.

For the nine month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized net income of $59.3 million, compared to net income of $57.5 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014. The $1.8 million, or 3.2%, increase in net income was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy.

The net interest margin decreased 32 basis points, from 2.04% for the prior year nine month period, to 1.72% for the current nine month period as a result of the daily leverage strategy. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.07% for the current nine month period, or three basis points higher than the prior year nine month period. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the cost of funds and an increase in the dividend rate received on FHLB stock between the two periods.

Total assets were $9.13 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $9.87 billion at September 30, 2014. The $733.8 million decrease in total assets was primarily in cash and cash equivalents due to the removal of the entire daily leverage strategy at June 30, 2015, compared to having $800.0 million of the daily leverage strategy in place at September 30, 2014. The full daily leverage strategy was reinstated on July 1, 2015. Loans receivable, net, increased $263.3 million, or 4.2%, to $6.50 billion at June 30, 2015, from $6.23 billion at September 30, 2014. During the current year nine month period, the Bank originated and refinanced $563.2 million of loans with a weighted average rate of 3.57%, purchased $458.3 million of loans from correspondent lenders with a weighted average rate of 3.44%, and participated in $23.0 million of commercial real estate loans with a weighted average rate of 3.73%. Cash flows from the MBS portfolio largely funded the loan growth.

Total liabilities were $7.70 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $8.37 billion at September 30, 2014. The $667.7 million decrease was due primarily to a decrease in FHLB borrowings due to the removal of the entire daily leverage strategy at June 30, 2015 compared to having $800.0 million of the daily leverage strategy in place at September 30, 2014. This decrease was partially offset by a $157.9 million, or 4.5% annualized, increase in the deposit portfolio. The growth in deposits was primarily in the checking portfolio and retail certificate of deposit portfolio, which increased $56.6 million and $53.3 million, respectively.

Stockholders' equity was $1.43 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $1.49 billion at September 30, 2014. The $66.2 million decrease between periods was due primarily to the payment of $102.8 million in dividends and the repurchase of $27.4 million of common stock, partially offset by net income of $59.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our most critical accounting policies are the methodologies used to determine the ACL and fair value measurements. These policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, involve a high degree of complexity, and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that may require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed at least annually by the audit committee of our Board of Directors. For a full discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Assets. Total assets were $9.13 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $9.87 billion at September 30, 2014. The decrease in total assets was primarily in cash and cash equivalents due to the removal of the entire daily leverage strategy at June 30, 2015, compared to having $800.0 million of the daily leverage strategy in place at September 30, 2014. The full daily leverage strategy was reinstated on July 1, 2015.

Loans Receivable. Loans receivable, net, increased $263.3 million from September 30, 2014, to $6.50 billion at June 30, 2015. The growth in the loan portfolio was primarily in the correspondent one- to four-family purchased loan portfolio.

Included in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2015 were $81.4 million, or 1.3% of the total loan portfolio, of adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans that were originated as interest-only. Of these interest-only loans, $69.0 million were purchased in bulk loan packages from nationwide lenders, primarily during fiscal year 2005. The $69.0 million of bulk purchased interest-only ARM loans had a weighted average credit score of 723 and a weighted average LTV ratio of 69% at June 30, 2015. Interest-only ARM loans do not typically require principal payments during their initial term, and have initial interest-only terms of either 5 or 10 years. At June 30, 2015, $20.7 million, or 25%, of the interest-only loans were still in their interest-only payment term. Included in the $20.7 million of interest-only loans were $9.8 million of bulk purchased interest-only ARM loans, all of which were scheduled to begin amortizing by September 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, $3.5 million, or 14% of non-performing loans, were interest-only ARMs.

The following table presents the balance and weighted average rate of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated. The weighted average rate of the portfolio decreased nine basis points from 3.76% at September 30, 2014 to 3.67% at June 30, 2015. The decrease in the weighted average rate was due primarily to loan purchases and originations/refinances at market rates less than the weighted average rate of the existing portfolio, as well as to endorsements to current market rates and adjustable-rate loans repricing to lower rates. Within the one- to four-family loan portfolio at June 30, 2015, 65% of the loans had a balance at origination of less than $417 thousand.

The following tables summarize activity in the loan portfolio, along with weighted average rates where applicable, for the periods indicated, excluding changes in undisbursed loan funds, ACL, discounts/unearned loan fees, and premiums/deferred costs. Loans that were paid-off as a result of refinances are included in repayments. Purchased loans include purchases from correspondent and nationwide lenders. There were no bulk loan purchases from nationwide lenders during the periods presented. Loan endorsements are not included in the activity in the following table because a new loan is not generated at the time of the endorsement. The endorsed balance and rate are included in the ending loan portfolio balance and rate. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Bank endorsed $27.9 million and $112.5 million of one- to four-family loans, respectively, reducing the average rate on those loans by 99 and 95 basis points, respectively.

The Bank's pricing strategy for originated first mortgage loan products includes setting interest rates based on secondary market prices and local competitor pricing for our local lending markets, and secondary market prices and national competitor pricing for our correspondent lending markets. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the average rate offered on the Bank's 30-year fixed-rate originated one- to four-family loans, with no points paid by the borrower, was approximately 170 basis points above the average 10-year Treasury rate, while the average rate offered on the Bank's 15-year fixed-rate originated one- to four-family loans was approximately 90 basis points above the average 10-year Treasury rate.

The following tables present loan origination, refinance, and purchase activity for the periods indicated, excluding endorsement activity, along with associated weighted average rates and percent of total. Loan originations, purchases and refinances are reported together. The fixed-rate one- to four-family loans less than or equal to 15 years have an original maturity at origination of less than or equal to 15 years, while fixed-rate one- to four-family loans greater than 15 years have an original maturity at origination of greater than 15 years. The adjustable-rate one- to four-family loans less than or equal to 36 months have a term to first reset of less than or equal to 36 months at origination and adjustable-rate one- to four-family loans greater than 36 months have a term to first reset of greater than 36 months at origination. Of the $503.4 million of one- to four-family loans originated and refinanced during the current year nine month period, 76% had loan values of $417 thousand or less. Of the $458.3 million of one- to four-family correspondent loans purchased during the current year nine month period, 27% had loan values of $417 thousand or less.

The following table summarizes our one- to four-family loan origination, refinance, and correspondent purchase commitments as of June 30, 2015, along with associated weighted average rates. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a rate lock fee. A percentage of the commitments are expected to expire unfunded, so the amounts reflected in the table below are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements. In addition to the amounts presented in the following table, as of June 30, 2015, the Bank had commitments outstanding to originate $4.0 million of commercial real estate loans and participate in $36.6 million of commercial construction-permanent loans. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Bank entered into $61.1 million of additional commitments to participate in commercial construction-permanent loans. It is anticipated that the $97.7 million of commercial construction-permanent loan participations will be disbursed over a 24-month period. As a result of expanding relationships with some of its correspondent lenders, the Bank has taken opportunities to participate in high-quality commercial construction-permanent loans, and plans to continue doing so. Based upon our underwriting, we expect that these loans will continue meeting the credit quality standards established by the Bank for its existing commercial real estate loans.

Asset Quality. The Bank's traditional underwriting guidelines have provided the Bank with generally low delinquencies and low levels of non-performing assets compared to national levels. Of particular importance is the complete and full documentation required for each loan the Bank originates or purchases. One- to four-family owner occupied loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the CFPB, with total debt-to-income ratios not exceeding 43% of the borrower's verified income. This allows the Bank to make an informed credit decision based upon a thorough assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan. See additional discussion regarding underwriting standards in "Part I, Item 1. Business - Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. In the following asset quality discussion, unless otherwise noted, correspondent purchased loans are included with originated loans and bulk purchased loans are reported as purchased loans.

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

Represents loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements even if the loans are current. At June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, this amount was comprised of $3.4 million, $1.2 million, $2.7 million, $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of loans that were 30 to 89 days delinquent and are reported as such, and $7.4 million, $9.8 million, $8.4 million, $7.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of loans that were current.


(2)	Excluding loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements even if the loans are current, non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.22%, 0.27%, 0.26%, 0.26% and 0.28%, at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.


(3)	Real estate-related consumer loans where we also hold the first mortgage are included in the one- to four-family category as the underlying collateral is one- to four-family property.


(4)	Represents a single property the Bank purchased for a potential branch site but now intends to sell.

Once a one- to four-family loan is generally 180 days delinquent, a new collateral value is obtained through an appraisal, less estimated selling costs and anticipated private mortgage insurance ("PMI") receipts. Any loss amounts identified as a result of this review are charged-off. At June 30, 2015, $9.7 million, or 70%, of the one- to four-family loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure had been individually evaluated for loss and any related losses have been charged-off.

The following table presents the top states where the properties securing our one- to four-family loans are located and the corresponding balance of loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure, and weighted average LTV ratios for loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure at June 30, 2015. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. At June 30, 2015, potential losses, after taking into consideration anticipated PMI proceeds and estimated selling costs, have been charged-off.

Allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses - Management maintains an ACL to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio based on ongoing quarterly assessments of the loan portfolio. Our ACL methodology considers a number of factors including the trend and composition of delinquent loans, results of foreclosed property and short sale transactions, charge-off activity and trends, the current status and trends of local and national economies (particularly levels of unemployment), trends and current conditions in the real estate and housing markets, loan portfolio growth and concentrations, and certain ACL ratios such as ACL to loans receivable, net and annualized historical losses to ACL. See "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

The ACL is maintained through provisions for credit losses which are either charged to or credited to income. The provision for credit losses is based upon the results of management's quarterly assessment of the ACL. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $771 thousand, which takes into account net charge-offs of $397 thousand during the period and loan growth.

The distribution of our ACL at the dates indicated is summarized below. Correspondent purchased one- to four-family loans are included with originated one- to four-family loans, and bulk purchased one- to four-family loans are reported as purchased one- to four-family loans.

Securities. The following table presents the distribution of our MBS and investment securities portfolios, at amortized cost, at the dates indicated. Overall, fixed-rate securities comprised 80% of these portfolios at June 30, 2015. The weighted average life ("WAL") is the estimated remaining principal repayment term (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds and projected call option assumptions have been applied. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The decrease in the weighted average yield on the securities portfolio from September 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015 was due primarily to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the weighted average yield on the existing portfolio, as well as to investment securities representing a larger percentage of the overall securities portfolio at June 30, 2015. Generally, investment securities have a lower yield than MBS and a shorter WAL. Purchasing shorter-term agency debentures has been an on-going balance sheet strategy by management in anticipation of higher interest rates.

Mortgage-Backed Securities - The balance of MBS, which primarily consists of securities of U.S. GSEs, decreased $237.4 million from $1.80 billion at September 30, 2014 to $1.57 billion at June 30, 2015. The following tables summarize the activity in our portfolio of MBS for the periods presented. The weighted average yields and WALs for purchases are presented as recorded at the time of purchase. The weighted average yields for the beginning balances are as of the last day of the period previous to the period presented and the weighted average yield for the ending balances are as of the last day of the period presented and are generally derived from recent prepayment activity on the securities in the portfolio as of the dates presented. The decrease in the weighted average yield on the MBS portfolio from September 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015 was due primarily to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the weighted average yield on the existing portfolio. The beginning and ending WAL is the estimated remaining principal repayment term (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds have been applied. Fixed-rate MBS purchased during the current fiscal year were generally comprised of loans with contractual terms-to-maturity of 15 years or less to help mitigate exposure to rising interest rates.

Investment Securities - Investment securities, which consist of U.S. GSE debentures (primarily issued by FNMA, FHLMC, or Federal Home Loan Banks) and municipal investments, increased $50.6 million, from $590.9 million at September 30, 2014 to $641.5 million at June 30, 2015. The following tables summarize the activity of investment securities for the periods presented. The weighted average yields and WALs for purchases are presented as recorded at the time of purchase. The weighted average yields for the beginning balances are as of the last day of the period previous to the period presented and the weighted average yields for the ending balances are as of the last day of the period presented. The increase in the weighted average yield between September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015 was due primarily to lower rate securities being called during the period. The beginning and ending WALs represent the estimated remaining principal repayment terms (in years) of the securities after projected call dates have been considered, based upon market rates at each date presented.

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $7.70 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $8.37 billion at September 30, 2014. The $667.7 million decrease was due primarily to a decrease in FHLB borrowings due to the removal of the entire daily leverage strategy at June 30, 2015 compared to having $800.0 million of the daily leverage strategy in place at September 30, 2014. This decrease was partially offset by a $157.9 million, or 4.5% annualized, increase in the deposit portfolio.

Deposits - Deposits were $4.81 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $4.66 billion at September 30, 2014. The $157.9 million increase was due primarily to a $56.6 million increase in the checking portfolio and a $53.3 million increase in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio. We remain competitive on deposit rates and, in some cases, our offer rates for certificates of deposit have been higher than peers. Increasing rates offered on longer-term certificates of deposit has been an on-going balance sheet strategy by management in anticipation of higher interest rates. If interest rates rise, our customers may move the funds from their checking, savings, and money market accounts to higher yielding deposit products within the Bank or withdraw their funds from these accounts, including certificates of deposit, to invest in higher yielding investments outside of the Bank.

The following table presents the amount, weighted average rate and percentage of total for the components of our deposit portfolio at the dates presented.

At June 30, 2015, public unit deposits totaled $320.4 million, compared to $258.6 million at September 30, 2014, and had a weighted average rate of 0.31% and an average remaining term to maturity of seven months. There were no brokered deposits at June 30, 2015 compared to $41.9 million at September 30, 2014. Management will continue to monitor the wholesale deposit market for attractive opportunities relative to the use of proceeds.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity was $1.43 billion at June 30, 2015 compared to $1.49 billion at September 30, 2014. The $66.2 million decrease between periods was due primarily to the payment of $102.8 million in dividends and the repurchase of $27.4 million of common stock, partially offset by net income of $59.3 million. The $102.8 million in dividends paid during the current nine month period consisted of a $0.26 per share, or $35.5 million, true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2014 earnings per the Company's dividend policy, a $0.25 per share, or $33.9 million, True Blue® Capitol Dividend, and three regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.245 per share, or $33.4 million. The $33.9 million True Blue Capitol Dividend was funded by a $36.0 million capital distribution from the Bank to the holding company. On July 22, 2015, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.4 million, payable on August 21, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $105.7 million on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2015, it is the intent of the Board of Directors and management to continue with the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to its stockholders. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company.

The following table presents regular quarterly dividends and special dividends paid in calendar years 2015, 2014, and 2013. The amounts represent cash dividends paid during each period. For the quarter ending September 30, 2015, the amount presented does not represent the actual dividend payout, but rather management's estimate of the dividend announced on July 22, 2015.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Net interest income increased $5.7 million, or 4.2%, from the prior year nine month period to $141.8 million for the current nine month period due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. The net interest margin decreased 32 basis points, from 2.04% for the prior year nine month period, to 1.72% for the current nine month period as a result of the daily leverage strategy. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.07% for the current nine month period, or three basis points higher than the prior year nine month period. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the cost of funds and an increase in the dividend rate received on FHLB stock between the two periods. The positive impact on the net interest margin resulting from the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from relatively lower yielding securities to higher yielding loans was mostly offset by a decrease in market interest rates.

Interest and Dividend Income

The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 53 basis points, from 3.24% for the prior year nine month period, to 2.71% for the current nine month period, while the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $2.08 billion from the prior year nine month period. The decrease in the weighted average yield and the increase in the average balance both were due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets would have decreased two basis points from the prior year nine month period, to 3.22%, and the average balance would have decreased $6.3 million. The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

Total interest and dividend income	$	222,951	$	216,012	$	6,939		3.2

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to a $283.2 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio. The weighted average yield on the portfolio decreased eight basis points, from 3.78% for the prior year nine month period, to 3.70% for the current nine month period. The decrease in the weighted average yield was due primarily to adjustable-rate loans, endorsements, and refinances repricing to lower rates.

The decrease in interest income on MBS and investment securities was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of each portfolio as cash flows not reinvested in the portfolios were used largely to fund loan growth. The average balance of the MBS portfolio decreased $287.2 million and the average balance of the investment securities portfolio decreased $74.0 million between the two periods. Additionally, the weighted average yield on the MBS portfolio decreased 10 basis points, from 2.36% during the prior year nine month period, to 2.26% for the current nine month period. The decrease in the weighted average yield on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the weighted average yield on the existing portfolio, and to an increase in the impact of net premium amortization. Net premium amortization was $4.0 million during the current nine month period, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 32 basis points. During the prior year nine month period, $4.2 million of net premiums were amortized, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 29 basis points. At June 30, 2015, the net balance of premiums/(discounts) on our portfolio of MBS was $15.6 million.

The increase in dividends received on FHLB stock was due primarily to an $83.9 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio as a result of the daily leverage strategy, as well as an increase in the FHLB dividend rate between the two periods. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to a $2.07 billion increase in the average balance resulting mainly from the daily leverage strategy.

Interest Expense

The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 30 basis points, from 1.43% for the prior year nine month period, to 1.13% for the current nine month period, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.17 billion from the prior year nine month period due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased six basis points from the prior nine month period, to 1.37%, due primarily to a decrease in the cost of term borrowings. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities would have increased $100.6 million due mainly to deposit growth. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

Total interest expense	$	81,123	$	79,842	$	1,281		1.6

The increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings was due primarily to a $2.07 billion increase in the average balance on the FHLB line of credit as a result of the daily leverage strategy, partially offset by a 106 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB borrowings. The decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the FHLB borrowings portfolio was primarily a result of borrowings on the FHLB line of credit, at an average rate of 0.25% for the current nine month period, in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings would have decreased seven basis points from the prior year nine month period, to 2.46% for the current nine month period, primarily as a result of renewals of advances to lower market rates during the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in interest expense on repurchase agreements was due to the maturity of a $100.0 million agreement at 4.20% between periods. The repurchase agreement was replaced with an FHLB advance, which was at a lower rate than the maturing repurchase agreement.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the current nine month period of $771 thousand compared to a provision for credit losses during the prior year nine month period of $982 thousand. The $771 thousand provision for credit losses in the current nine month period takes into account net charge-offs of $397 thousand and loan growth. See "Financial Condition - Asset Quality" for additional information related to ACL activity.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

Total non-interest income	$	15,679	$	16,846	$	(1,167	)	(6.9	)

The decrease in insurance commissions was due primarily to a decrease in annual commissions received from certain insurance providers as a result of less favorable claims experience year-over-year. Management currently anticipates retail fees and charges earned will decrease approximately $100 thousand during the full fiscal year 2015 compared to the full fiscal year 2014, as opposed to our original estimate of a $1.3 million decrease. The change in our estimate is due primarily to higher than anticipated growth in our checking portfolio, resulting in higher than anticipated fee and debit card activity.

Total non-interest expense	$	69,107	$	66,995	$	2,112		3.2

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense was due primarily to the prior year nine month period including compensation expense on unallocated ESOP shares related to two True Blue Capitol dividends paid compared to one True Blue Capitol dividend paid during the current nine month period. The increase in information technology and communications expense was primarily related to continued upgrades to our information technology infrastructure. The increase in low income housing partnership expense was due mainly to impairments, as well as to an increase in amortization expense due to an increase in the overall investment balance as a result of funding new partnerships and the general life cycle of the partnership activities. We have grown our investments in newly formed low income housing partnerships over the past couple of years. Generally, losses associated with these partnerships out-pace the tax credit benefit in the early years as they establish their operations. Management anticipates that low income housing partnership expense will increase approximately $2.6 million in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014, an increase from our original estimate of $2.0 million. The overall increase in low income housing expense year-over-year is due to an increase in impairments and amortization expense. The increase in federal insurance premium was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 43.88% for the current nine month period compared to 43.78% for the prior year nine month period. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value indicates that the financial institution is generating revenue with a lower level of expense.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $28.3 million for the current nine month period compared to $27.6 million for the prior year nine month period. The $766 thousand increase between periods was due to an increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the current nine month period was 32.3% compared to 32.4% in the prior year nine month period. Management anticipates the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 will be approximately 32% to 33%, based on fiscal year 2015 estimates as of June 30, 2015. The tax benefit associated with the low income housing tax credits is expected to be $4.3 million for fiscal year 2015, which is reflected in the effective tax rate range.

Average Balance Sheet

The following table presents 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, 2015. As previously discussed, the daily leverage strategy was not in place at June 30, 2015, so the end of period yields/rates presented at June 30, 2015 in the tables below do not reflect the effects of this strategy. Weighted average yields are derived by dividing annualized income by the average balance of the related assets and weighted 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 fully taxable equivalent basis.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the nine months ended June 30, 2015 to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Net interest income increased $815 thousand, or 1.8%, from the prior year quarter to $47.0 million for the current quarter. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. The net interest margin decreased 38 basis points, from 2.09% for the prior year quarter to 1.71% for the current quarter, primarily as a result of the daily leverage strategy. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.05% for the current quarter, or a four basis point decrease from the prior year quarter. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average yield on the loans receivable portfolio. The positive impact on the net interest margin resulting from the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from relatively lower yielding securities to higher yield loans was more than offset by a decrease in market interest rates.

Interest and Dividend Income

The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 56 basis points, from 3.25% for the prior year quarter, to 2.69% for the current quarter, while the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $2.16 billion from the prior year quarter. The decrease in the weighted average yield and the increase in the average balance was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earnings assets would have decreased five basis points from the prior year quarter, to 3.20%, while the average balance would have increased $83.6 million. The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

Total interest and dividend income	$	74,174	$	71,921	$	2,253		3.1

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to a $326.6 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio, from 3.77% for the prior year quarter, to 3.67% for the current quarter. The decrease in the weighted average yield was due primarily to adjustable-rate loans, endorsements, and refinances repricing to lower rates. Net premium/deferred cost amortization of $184 thousand during the current quarter decreased the average yield on the portfolio by one basis point. During the prior year quarter, $17 thousand of net discounts/unearned loan fees were accreted, which increased the average yield on the portfolio by less than one basis point.

The decrease in interest income on MBS was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio as cash flows not reinvested in the portfolio were used largely to fund loan growth. The average balance of the MBS portfolio decreased $344.6 million between the two periods. Additionally, the weighted average yield on the MBS portfolio decreased nine basis points, from 2.30% for the prior year quarter, to 2.21% for the current quarter. The decrease in the weighted average yield on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the weighted average yield on the existing portfolio, and to an increase in the impact of net premium amortization. Net premium amortization was $1.4 million during the current quarter, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 35 basis points. During the prior year quarter, $1.5 million of net premiums were amortized, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 32 basis points.

The increase in dividends received on FHLB stock was due primarily to a $91.8 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, largely as a result of the daily leverage strategy, as well as to an increase in the FHLB dividend rate between the two periods. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to a $2.06 billion increase in the average balance resulting mainly from the daily leverage strategy.

Interest Expense

The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points, from 1.38% for the prior year quarter, to 1.12% for the current quarter, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.23 billion from the prior year quarter due primarily to the daily leverage strategy. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased two basis points from the prior year quarter, to 1.36%, and the average balance would have increased $155.5 million due primarily to growth in the deposit portfolio, largely the checking and retail certificates of deposit portfolios. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

The increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings was due primarily to a $2.07 billion increase in the average balance on the FHLB line of credit as a result of the daily leverage strategy, as well as to an increase in the average balance of FHLB advances. The increase in the average balance of FHLB advances was due primarily to a maturing $100.0 million repurchase agreement being replaced with a FHLB advance.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the current quarter of $323 thousand compared to a provision for credit losses during the prior year quarter of $307 thousand. The $323 thousand provision for credit losses in the current quarter takes into account net charge-offs of $128 thousand and loan growth.

The increase in information technology and communications expense was primarily related to continued upgrades to our information technology infrastructure. The increase in federal insurance premium was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 44.30% for the current quarter compared to 43.19% for the prior year quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to an increase in non-interest expense.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $9.1 million for the current quarter and the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 31.8% compared to 31.4% for the prior year quarter.

Average Balance Sheet

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 fully taxable equivalent basis.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the three months ended June 30, 2014. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015

Net income increased $368 thousand, or 1.9%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to $19.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to a decrease in income tax expense resulting largely from a decrease in the effective income tax rate. Net income attributable to the daily leverage strategy was $699 thousand during the current quarter.

Net interest income increased $234 thousand, or 0.5%, from the prior quarter to $47.0 million for the current quarter. The increase was due primarily to an increase in total interest and dividend income resulting largely from an increase in interest income on loans receivable and investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). The net interest margin for the current quarter held steady from the prior quarter at 1.71%. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.05% for the current quarter, compared to 2.04% for the prior quarter.

Interest and Dividend Income

The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets for the current quarter decreased one basis point from the prior quarter, to 2.69%, while the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $52.6 million between the two periods. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earnings assets would have decreased one basis point from the prior quarter, to 3.20%, while the average balance would have increased $37.9 million. The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.



	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2015		2015		Dollars			Percent

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:

Total interest and dividend income	$	74,174	$	73,877	$	297		0.4

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to a $108.9 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, partially offset by a two basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio, to 3.67% for the current quarter. Net premium/deferred cost amortization of $184 thousand during the current quarter decreased the average yield on the portfolio by one basis point. During the prior quarter, $331 thousand of net premiums/deferred costs were amortized, which decreased the average yield on the portfolio by two basis points.

The decrease in interest income on MBS was due to a $72.9 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio, as well as to a seven basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio. Cash flows not reinvested in the portfolio were used primarily to fund loan growth. During the current quarter, $1.4 million of net premiums were amortized, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 35 basis points. During the prior quarter, $1.3 million of net premiums were amortized, which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 30 basis points. The increase in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a $75.9 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio as a portion of cash, held in excess of the daily leverage strategy, was invested into the portfolio during the current quarter.

Interest Expense

The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased two basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.12%, due mainly to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $59.1 million between the two periods. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased three basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.36%, while the average balance would have increased $44.4 million. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.



	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2015		2015		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
INTEREST EXPENSE:

Repurchase agreements	1,712		1,693		19			1.1
Total interest expense	$	27,161	$	27,098	$	63		0.2

The decrease in interest expense on FHLB borrowings was due to a six basis points decrease in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances during the current quarter, to 2.45%. This decrease was due primarily to a full quarter impact of the renewal of a maturing advance during the prior quarter at a lower rate, as well as to the renewal of another maturing advance in the current quarter at a lower rate.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to an increase in the average balance and rate paid on our retail certificate of deposit portfolio. The average balance of our retail certificate of deposit portfolio increased $37.0 million and the weighted average rate paid increased two basis points, to 1.26%, during the current quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the current quarter of $323 thousand compared to a provision for credit losses during the prior quarter of $275 thousand. The $323 thousand provision for credit losses in the current quarter takes into account net charge-offs of $128 thousand and loan growth. See "Financial Condition - Asset Quality" for additional information related to ACL activity.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2015		2015		Dollars			Percent

Total non-interest income	$	5,145	$	5,277	$	(132	)	(2.5	)

The increase in retail fees and charges was due primarily to an increase in debit card income, due in part to seasonality, and an increase in service charges earned. The decrease in insurance commissions was due largely to the receipt of annual commissions from certain insurance providers during the prior quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.



	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:

Total non-interest expense	$	23,106	$	22,859	$	247		1.1

The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due primarily to compensation expense on unallocated ESOP shares related to the $0.25 per share True Blue Capitol dividend paid in June 2015. Similar to the current quarter, this dividend will result in $476 thousand of ESOP compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. The decrease in low income housing

partnerships expense was due primarily to the prior quarter including impairments, as well as to a decrease in amortization expense in the current quarter. The decrease in amortization expense included an adjustment to the prior quarter estimate of amortization expense, as well as to the current quarter estimate based on prior quarter activity. The increase in advertising and promotional expense was due primarily to the timing of media campaigns and sponsorships.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 44.30% for the current quarter compared to 43.91% for the prior quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to an increase in non-interest expense.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $9.1 million for the current quarter compared to $9.7 million for the prior quarter. The decrease between periods was due primarily to a decrease in the effective income tax rate, from 33.5% for the prior quarter, to 31.8% for the current quarter. The decrease in the effective income tax rate between periods was largely a result of reducing income tax expense to account for the impact of a lower effective tax rate year-to-date, primarily a result of higher deductible expenses associated with dividends paid on ESOP shares due to the True Blue Capitol dividend paid in June 2015.

Average Balance Sheet

As previously mentioned, 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 fully taxable equivalent basis.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the three months ended March 31, 2015. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous quarter's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous quarter. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund ongoing operations, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and other deposit withdrawals, to repay maturing borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of our business management. The Company's most available liquid assets are represented by cash and cash equivalents, AFS securities, and short-term investment securities. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, repayments and maturities of outstanding loans and MBS and other short-term investments, and funds provided by operations. The Bank's term borrowings primarily have been used to invest in debentures and MBS in an effort to manage the Bank's interest rate risk with the intent to improve the earnings of the Bank while maintaining capital ratios in excess of regulatory standards for well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, the Bank's focus on managing risk has provided additional liquidity capacity by maintaining a balance of MBS and investment securities available as collateral for borrowings.

We generally intend to manage cash reserves sufficient to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are routinely forecasted for 10, 30, and 365 days. Additionally, on a monthly basis, we perform a liquidity stress test in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. The liquidity stress test incorporates both short-term and long-term liquidity scenarios in order to identify and to quantify liquidity risk. Management also continuously monitors key liquidity statistics related to items such as wholesale funding gaps, borrowings capacity, and available unpledged collateral, as well as various liquidity ratios.

In the event short-term liquidity needs exceed available cash, the Bank has access to a line of credit at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. When the daily leverage strategy is in place, the Bank maintains the resulting excess cash reserves from the borrowings on the FHLB line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank, which can be used to meet any short-term liquidity needs. Per the FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of total Bank assets, as reported on the Bank's Call Report to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), without pre-approval from the FHLB president. In July 2014, the president of the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's borrowing limit to 55% of total assets for one year in conjunction with the implementation of the daily leverage strategy. In July 2015, the president of the FHLB approved the increase in the Bank's borrowings limit to 55% of total assets through July 2016. The amount that can be borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral and certain other characteristics of those securities, and is used only when other sources of short-term liquidity are unavailable. Management tests the Bank's access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window annually with a nominal, overnight borrowing.

If management observes a trend in the amount and frequency of line of credit utilization that is not in conjunction with a planned strategy, such as the daily leverage strategy, the Bank will likely utilize long-term wholesale borrowing sources such as FHLB advances and/or repurchase agreements to provide permanent fixed-rate funding. The maturities of these borrowings are generally staggered in order to mitigate the risk of a highly negative cash flow position at maturity.

The amount of FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2015 was $2.58 billion, of which $475.0 million was scheduled to mature in the next 12 months. All FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB along with certain securities. The Bank pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $232.6 million as collateral for FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the Bank's ratio of the par value of FHLB borrowings to total assets, as reported to the OCC, was 28%. When the full daily leverage strategy is in place, FHLB borrowings are in excess of 40% of the Bank's total assets, and are expected to be in excess of 40% as long as the Bank continues its daily leverage strategy and the FHLB president continues to approve the Bank's borrowing limit being in excess of 40% of total Bank assets. All or a portion of the borrowings against the FHLB line of credit in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy could be repaid at any point in time while the strategy is in effect, if necessary.

At June 30, 2015, the Bank had repurchase agreements of $220.0 million, or approximately 2% of total assets, of which $20.0 million was scheduled to mature in the next 12 months. The Bank may enter into additional repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to a total borrowings limit of 55% as discussed below. The Bank had pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $246.7 million as collateral for repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2015. The securities pledged for the repurchase agreements will be delivered back to the Bank when the repurchase agreements mature.

The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had term borrowings, at par, of $2.80 billion, or approximately 31% of total assets. Additionally, the Bank could utilize the repayment and maturity of outstanding loans, MBS, and other investments for liquidity needs rather than reinvesting such funds into the related portfolios. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $1.27 billion of securities that were eligible but unused as collateral for borrowing or other liquidity needs.

The Bank has access to and utilizes other sources of funds for liquidity purposes, such as brokered and public unit deposits. As of June 30, 2015, the Bank's policy allowed for combined brokered and public unit deposits up to 15% of total deposits. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $320.4 million of public unit deposits, or approximately 7% of total deposits. There were no brokered deposits at June 30, 2015. Management continuously monitors the wholesale deposit market for opportunities to obtain funds at attractive rates. The Bank had pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $348.0 million as collateral for public unit deposits at June 30, 2015. The securities pledged as collateral for public unit deposits are held under joint custody by the FHLB and generally will be released upon deposit maturity.

As of June 30, 2015, $1.19 billion of the Bank's $2.61 billion of certificates of deposit was scheduled to mature within one year. Included in the $1.19 billion was $258.3 million of public unit deposits. Based on our deposit retention experience and our current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a majority of the maturing retail certificates of deposit will renew or transfer to other deposit products at the prevailing rate, although no assurance can be given in this regard. We also anticipate that a majority of the maturing public unit deposits will be replaced with similar wholesale funding products.

While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and MBS and payments on short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayments on loans and MBS, and calls of investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition, and are less predictable sources of funds. To the extent possible, the Bank manages the cash flows of its loan and deposit portfolios by the rates it offers customers.

At June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $46.7 million, a decrease of $764.2 million from September 30, 2014. The decrease was due mainly to the removal of the entire daily leverage strategy at June 30, 2015, compared to having $800.0 million of the daily leverage strategy in place at September 30, 2014. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the balance of operating cash at June 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014 as the balance of operating cash at September 30, 2014 was lower than the normal range. The full daily leverage strategy was reinstated on July 1, 2015.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, loan originations and purchases, net of principal repayments and related loan activity, resulted in cash outflows of $268.8 million. Cash flows from the security portfolio and the retail deposit portfolio were used to fund loan growth during the fiscal year. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, net security portfolio cash inflows were $184.6 million and net retail deposit inflows were $157.9 million.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Bank purchased $146.7 million of FHLB stock and redeemed $202.9 million. The FHLB stock activity was due primarily to the daily leverage strategy.

At June 30, 2015, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $105.7 million on deposit at the Bank. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid $102.8 million in cash dividends and repurchased 2,279,472 shares at a total cost of $27.4 million. See additional discussion regarding dividends and stock repurchases in "Financial Condition - Stockholders' Equity."

As of June 30, 2015, the Bank had $9.7 million of agreements outstanding in connection with the remodeling of the Bank's Kansas City market area operations center. The project scope includes replacement of all mechanical and electrical systems, interior finishes, and exterior building components. The completed project will result in a more energy efficient building, which is expected to lower our utility and maintenance expenses. There may be additional agreements and expenses related to the project through early fiscal year 2017, which is when the project is expected to be completed. Costs related to the project will be capitalized and depreciated according to the estimated useful life of the assets as they are placed in service.

The following table presents the contractual maturities of our loan, MBS, and investment securities portfolios at June 30, 2015, along with associated weighted average yields. Loans and securities which have adjustable interest rates are shown as maturing in the period during which the contract is due. The table does not reflect the effects of possible prepayments or enforcement of due on sale clauses. As of June 30, 2015, the amortized cost of investment securities in our portfolio which are callable or have pre-refunding dates within one year was $404.5 million.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

The long-term ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company. OCC regulations impose restrictions on savings institutions, such as the Bank, with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers, and other transactions charged to the capital account. Generally, savings institutions may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings under the FRB and OCC safe harbor regulations. It is generally required that the Bank remain well capitalized before and after a proposed distribution; however, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OCC may have its capital distribution authority restricted. A savings institution that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, that proposes to make a capital distribution must submit written notice to the OCC and FRB 30 days prior to such distribution. The OCC and FRB may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness or other concerns. Savings institutions that desire to make a larger capital distribution, are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, well capitalized following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain regulatory non-objection prior to making such a distribution. So long as the Bank continues to remain well capitalized after each capital distribution and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that the OCC and FRB will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its net income to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

The Company paid cash dividends of $102.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contractual Obligations

The Company, in the normal course of business, makes commitments to buy or sell assets or to incur or fund liabilities. There have been no material changes in commitments, contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements from September 30, 2014. For additional information, see "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contractual Obligations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through repayments and maturities of loans and securities, deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.

The maximum balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was $2.70 billion, and the average balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding during this period was $2.56 billion at a weighted average contractual rate of 0.63%. The majority of the short-term FHLB borrowings amount related to borrowings on the FHLB line of credit in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. This compares to a balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2015 of $475.0 million at a weighted average contractual rate of 2.60%.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of the currently pending suits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, or future periods.

Capital

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a "well-capitalized" status for the Bank and Company in accordance with regulatory standards. As of June 30, 2015, the Company and Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The following table presents the regulatory capital ratios of the Bank and the Company at June 30, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

For a complete discussion of the Bank's asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Bank's portfolios, see "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014. The analysis presented in the tables below reflect the level of market risk at the Bank, including the cash the holding company has deposited at the Bank.

The rates of interest the Bank earns on its assets and pays on its liabilities are generally established contractually for a period of time. Fluctuations in interest rates have a significant impact not only upon our net income, but also upon the cash flows and market values of our assets and liabilities. Our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Risk associated with changes in interest rates on the earnings of the Bank and the market value of its financial assets and liabilities is known as interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is our most significant market risk and our ability to adapt to changes in interest rates is known as interest rate risk management.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management program is to determine and manage an appropriate level of interest rate risk while maximizing net interest income in a manner consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent practicable, the exposure of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The Asset and Liability Committee regularly reviews the interest rate risk exposure of the Bank by forecasting the impact of hypothetical, alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") at various dates. The MVPE is defined as the net of the present value of cash flows from existing assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. The present values are determined based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis, as well as in alternative interest rate environments providing potential changes in the MVPE under those alternative interest rate environments. Net interest income is projected in the same alternative interest rate environments with both a static balance sheet and with management strategies considered. The MVPE and net interest income analysis are also conducted to estimate our sensitivity to rates for future time horizons based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis. In addition to the

interest rate environments presented below, management also reviews the impact of non-parallel rate shock scenarios on a quarterly basis. These scenarios consist of flattening and steepening the yield curve by changing short-term and long-term interest rates independent of each other, and simulating cash flows and determining valuations as a result of these hypothetical changes in interest rates to identify rate environments that pose the greatest risk to the Bank. This analysis helps management quantify the Bank's exposure to changes in the shape of the yield curve.

For each date presented in the following table, the estimated percentage change in the Bank's net interest income based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates is presented. The percentage change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between estimated net interest income in the 0 basis point interest rate environment ("base case," assumes the forward market and product interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the estimated net interest income in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market and product interest rates have a parallel shift in rates across all maturities by the indicated change in rates). At all dates presented, the three-month Treasury bill yield was less than one percent, so the -100 basis points scenario was not applicable. Estimations of net interest income used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities does not change materially and that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at anticipated product and market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented. The estimation of net interest income does not include any projected gains or losses related to the sale of loans or securities, or income derived from non-interest income sources, but does include the use of different prepayment assumptions in the alternative interest rate environments. It is important to consider that estimated changes in net interest income are for a cumulative four-quarter period. These do not reflect the earnings expectations of management.

The projected percentage change in net interest income was impacted to a greater degree in the increasing interest rate scenarios at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 primarily as a result of a decrease in the amount of assets projected to reprice in the base case at June 30, 2015 compared to the prior quarter. This resulted in a decrease in the positive gap position between the two periods and, therefore, it is expected that assets will reprice higher at a slower pace in a rising interest rate environment at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015. Conversely, interest rates were lower at June 30, 2015 than at September 30, 2014 and, as a result, it is expected that assets will reprice higher at a faster pace in a rising interest rate environment at June 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2015. The Bank was in a positive gap position at June 30, 2015 compared to a negative gap position at September 30, 2014. The positive gap at June 30, 2015 was a result of lower interest rates, which increased projected cash flows for the Bank's callable agency debentures and mortgage-related assets due to higher expected option calls and mortgage prepayment projections. The higher amount of projected asset cash flows resulted in a less adverse impact to net interest income in the rising rate scenarios for June 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014. See the gap table below for additional information.

Net interest income is projected to decrease in a rising interest rate environment at June 30, 2015, despite the positive gap position, due to a projected reduction in cash flows from the Bank's mortgage-related assets and callable agency debentures as interest rates rise. In all of the scenarios presented, cash flows from the Bank's assets decrease to such a level that the Bank's liabilities are projected to reprice to higher interest rates at a faster pace than the Bank's assets.

The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in the MVPE for each date presented based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates. The estimated MVPE results from the valuation of cash flows from financial assets and liabilities over the anticipated lives of each for each interest rate environment. The percentage change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between the MVPE in the base case (assumes the forward market interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the MVPE in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market interest rates have a parallel shift in rates). At all dates presented, the three-month Treasury bill yield was less than one percent, so the -100 basis points scenario was not applicable. The estimations of the MVPE used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities does not change, that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at current product or market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented, and that different prepayment rates were used in each alternative interest rate environment.

Changes in the estimated market values of our financial assets and liabilities drive changes in estimates of MVPE. The market value of an asset or liability reflects the present value of all the projected cash flows over its remaining life, discounted at current market interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value for both financial assets and liabilities generally decrease. The opposite is generally true as interest rates fall. The MVPE represents the theoretical market value of capital that is calculated by netting the market value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. If the market values of financial assets increase at a faster pace than the market values of financial liabilities, or if the market values of financial liabilities decrease at a faster pace than the market values of financial assets, the MVPE will increase. The magnitude of the changes in the Bank's MVPE represents the Bank's interest rate risk. The market value of shorter term-to-maturity financial instruments is less sensitive to changes in interest rates than are longer term-to-maturity financial instruments. Because of this, the market values of our certificates of deposit (which generally have relatively shorter average lives) tend to display less sensitivity to changes in interest rates than do our mortgage-related assets (which generally have relatively longer average lives). The average life expected on our mortgage-related assets varies under different interest rate environments because borrowers have the ability to prepay their mortgage loans. Therefore, as interest rates decrease, the WAL of mortgage-related assets decrease as well. As interest rates increase, the WAL is expected to increase, as is the sensitivity of these assets in higher rate environments.

The percentage change in the Bank's MVPE was adversely impacted in rising interest rate scenarios for all periods presented due primarily to the Bank's mortgage-related assets and callable investment securities. As interest rates increase, repayments on mortgage-related assets will likely only be realized through changes in borrowers' lives such as divorce, death, job-related relocations, or other life changing events, resulting in an increase in the average life of mortgage-related assets. Similarly, call projections for the Bank's callable agency debentures decrease as interest rates rise, which results in their cash flows moving towards their contractual maturity dates. The greater expected average lives of these assets, relative to the assumptions in the base case interest rate environment, increased the sensitivity of their market value to changes in interest rates. As a result, the market value of the Bank's financial assets decreased more than the decrease in the market value of its financial liabilities, which resulted in a decrease in the MVPE in all of the rising interest rate environments presented. The percentage change in the Bank's MVPE at June 30, 2015 was more adversely impacted in the increasing interest rate scenarios than at March 31, 2015, and less adversely impacted in the increasing interest rate scenarios than at September 30, 2014. Long-term interest rates were higher at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 which resulted in greater weighted average lives for these assets in the base case, thereby increasing the sensitivity of their market values as interest rates increase. Interest rates at September 30, 2014 were higher than at both March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, and, as a result, these assets had greater average lives at September 30, 2014 and had a greater sensitivity to rising interest rates.

The following gap table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing periods of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of June 30, 2015 based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes below. Cash flow projections for mortgage-related assets are calculated based on current interest rates. Prepayment projections are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with a high degree of accuracy. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions may not reflect how actual yields and costs respond to market interest rate changes. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as ARM loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap table below. For additional information regarding the impact of changes in interest rates, see the preceding Percentage Change in Net Interest Income and Percentage Change in MVPE discussions and tables.

(1)

ARM loans are included in the period in which the rate is next scheduled to adjust or in the period in which repayments are expected to occur, or prepayments are expected to be received, prior to their next rate adjustment, rather than in the period in which the loans are due. Fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization and prepayment assumptions. Balances are net of deferred fees and exclude loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure.


(2)	Based on contractual maturities, term to call dates or pre-refunding dates as of June 30, 2015, at amortized cost.


(3)	Reflects projected prepayments of MBS, at amortized cost.

(4)

Although the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a substantial amount of these accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities. The decay rates (the assumed rates at which the balances of existing accounts decline) used on these accounts is based on assumptions developed from our actual experiences with these accounts. If all of the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts had been assumed to be subject to repricing within one year, interest-bearing liabilities which were estimated to mature or reprice within one year would have exceeded interest-earning assets with comparable characteristics by $1.49 billion, for a cumulative one-year gap of -16.4% of total assets.


(5)	Borrowings exclude deferred prepayment penalty costs and deferred gains on interest rate swap agreements previously terminated.

The decrease in the one-year gap amount at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 was due primarily to higher interest rates at June 30, 2015. This resulted in a decrease in prepayment projections on the Bank's mortgage loan and MBS portfolios, as well as a decrease in the amount of investment securities projected to be called, resulting in a decrease in the amount of assets expected to reprice over the 12-month horizon. Interest rate were higher at September 30, 2014 than at both March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015. As a result, the Bank had a negative gap position in the base case at September 30, 2014 as asset cash flow projections decreased to such a level that more liabilities were expected to reprice over the 12-month horizon than assets. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of June 30, 2015, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be -$271.2 million, or -2.97% of total assets.

The gap position of the Bank has been managed over the past several years in anticipation of higher interest rates. Because of the on-balance sheet strategies implemented over the past several years of lengthening FHLB advances, increasing rates offered on longer-term certificate of deposit products, purchasing shorter term agency debentures, and focusing on the long-term value of the balance sheet through the measurement and management of our MVPE, management believes the Bank is well-positioned to move into a market rate environment where interest rates are higher.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of the date presented. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the net impact of the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid and deferred gains related to interest rate swaps previously terminated. The loan terms presented for one- to four-family loans represent the contractual terms of the loan.
