Note 1:Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

General

 

Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation and registered savings and loan holding company, was formed on February 21, 2017 to become the bank holding company for Eagle Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank, an Ohio chartered savings and loan association, completed its mutual-to-stock conversion on July 20, 2017. In connection with the Bank’s conversion, the Company acquired 100% ownership of the Bank and the Company offered and sold 1,572,808 shares of its common stock at $10.0 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $15,728. The cost of the conversion and issuance of common stock was approximately $1,423, which was deducted from the gross offering proceeds. The Company also contributed 40,000 shares of its common stock and $100 of cash to Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”), a charitable foundation formed in connection with the Bank’s conversion. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) purchased 129,024 shares of the common stock sold by the Company, which was 8% of the 1,612,808 shares of common stock issued by the Company, including the shares contributed to the Foundation. The ESOP purchased the shares using a loan from the Company. The Company contributed $7,153 of the net proceeds from the offering to the Bank, loaned $1,290 of the net proceeds to the ESOP, contributed $100 to the Foundation and retained approximately $5,763 of the net proceeds.

 

Following the Bank’s conversion, voting rights are held and exercised exclusively by the shareholders of the holding company. Deposit account holders continue to be insured by the FDIC. A liquidation account was established in an amount equal to the Bank’s total equity as of the latest balance sheet date in the final offering circular used in the conversion. Each eligible account holder or supplemental account holder are entitled to a proportionate share of this account (a”subaccount”) in the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event. The value of this subaccount is subject to an annual decrease based on decreases in the eligible account holder’s or supplemental account holder’s deposit balance, and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation account will never be increased despite any increase after conversion in the related deposit balance.

 

The Bank may not pay a dividend on its capital stock, if the effect thereof would cause retained earnings to be reduced below the liquidation account amount or regulatory capital requirements. In addition, the stock holding company will be subject to certain regulations related to the payment of dividends and the repurchase of its capital stock.

 

The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, include Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2019

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

The accompanying condensed balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Registrant’s Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the Notes to Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed financial statements have been included to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. All interim amounts have not been audited and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, as well as revenue related to our mortgage banking activities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.

 

Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our income statements as components of non-interest income are as follows:

 

Service charges on deposit accounts - these represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as a wire transfer). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of financial instruments.

 

Revisions

 

Certain immaterial revisions have been made to the 2019 financial statements related to the presentation of common stock repurchased by the Company. These revisions did not have a significant impact on the financial statement line items impacted.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU No. 2016-01 was issued in January 2016 and applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured and amortized at cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instruments specific credit risk when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on its fair value disclosures and other disclosure requirements. These amendments did have an impact on certain items that were disclosed at fair value that did not utilize the exit price notion when measuring fair value. For additional information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note 7.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09). This update to the ASC is the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2014-09 supersedes Topic 605 – Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 describes a 5-step process entities can apply to achieve the core principle of revenue recognition and requires disclosures sufficient to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and the significant judgments used in determining that information. Originally, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and early application is not allowed. In July 2015, the FASB extended the implementation date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Transitional guidance is included in the update. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non- interest income. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2019 and it did not identify any changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance. The Company added additional disclosures beginning in the first quarter of 2019 as required by the guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides cash flow statement classification guidance for certain transactions including how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2020 and did not see a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash." ASU 2016-18 provides amendments to cash flow statement classification and presentation to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2020 and did not see a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic is in its early stages and information is rapidly evolving. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company's customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.

Note 2:Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) allocated to common shareholders is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“the ESOP”) are shown as a reduction in stockholder’s equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations until they are committed to be released. Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock based compensation and is calculated using the two-class method or the treasury method. There were no dilutive effects at March 31, 2020 or 2019.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

 

   Three Months Ended   Three Months Ended 
   March 31, 2020   March 31, 2019 
Net income  $177   $81

All stock options were anti-dilutive, therefore not included in dilutive securities.

Note 3:Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The composition of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

 

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2020   2019 
Residential mortgage loans  $57,572   $59,859 
Commercial real estate and land loans   20,520    20,800 
Home equity and other consumer   8,984    9,690 
Residential construction loans   13,729    11,684 
Residential mortgage loans, non-owner occupied   5,224    5,522 
Multi-family real estate loans   1,049    1,065 
Commercial loans   7,009    5,921 
    114,087    114,541 
           
Net deferred loan costs   (5)   4 
Loans in process   (7,227)   (6,811)
Allowance for loan losses   (1,196)   (1,166)
           
Net loans  $105,659   $106,568 

 

Loans serviced for the benefit of others at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 amounted to $1,587 and $1,633, respectively.

 

Loans in process relates to primarily residential mortgage loans.

 

Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans, including Construction Loans and Land Loans: The residential 1-4 family real estate loans and construction loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Land loans are secured primarily by unimproved land for future residential use. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans, Non-Owner Occupied: One-to-four family, non-owner occupied loans carry greater inherent risks than one-to-four family, owner occupied loans, since the repayment ability of the borrower is generally reliant on the success of the income generated from the property.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Multi-family real estate loans are generally secured by apartment complexes. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.

 

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

 

Home equity and Other Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of home equity loans and term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment of the home equity loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Repayment for term and line of credit loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Internal Risk Categories

 

Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8. Grades 5 through 8 are considered satisfactory grades. The grade of 1, or Special Mention, represents loans of lower quality and is considered criticized. The grades of 2, or Substandard, 3, or Doubtful, and 4, or Loss refer to assets that are classified. The use and application of these grades by the Bank will be uniform and shall conform to the Bank’s policy.

 

Special Mention (grade 1) assets have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Ordinarily, special mention credits have characteristics which corrective management action would remedy.

 

Substandard (grade 2) loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Doubtful (grade 3) loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loss (grade 4) loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

 

Satisfactory (grades 5 through 8) represent loans for which quality is considered to be satisfactory.

Note 4:Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

 

In connection with the conversion to an entity owned by stockholders, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in an amount sufficient to purchase 129,024 shares (approximately 8.0% of the common stock issued in connection with the conversion). The loan is secured by the shares purchased and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from contributions made by the Company and dividends received by the ESOP. Contributions will be applied to repay interest on the loan first, and then the remainder will be applied to principal. The loan is expected to be repaid over a period of up to 20 years. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their compensation, relative to total compensation of all active participants. Participants will vest in their accrued benefits under the ESOP at the rate of 20 percent per year after two years of service. Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death or disability of the participant, or a change in control of the Company. Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining participants. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation of service, or termination of the ESOP.

 (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

The debt of the ESOP is eliminated in consolidation. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports the compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares, if any, are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation was $26 and $25 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

A summary of the ESOP shares as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2020   December 31, 2019 
Shares allocated to participants   1,613    6,451 
Shares released to participants   19,353    12,902 
Unreleased shares   108,058    109,671 
Total   129,024    129,024 
           
Fair Value of Unreleased Shares  $1,691,108   $1,738,285 

 

In the event the ESOP is unable to satisfy the obligation to repurchase the shares held by each beneficiary upon the beneficiary’s termination or retirement, the Company is obligated to repurchase the shares. In addition, there are no outstanding shares held by former employees that are subject to an ESOP related repurchase option.

 

Note 5:Equity Incentive Plan

 

In September 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 225,792 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the 2018 Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 161,280 shares and the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards is 64,512 shares. Stock options awarded to employees may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Shares awarded under the 2018 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The 2018 Plan contains annual and lifetime limits on certain types of awards to individual participants.

 

Awards may vest or become exercisable only upon the achievement of performance measures or based solely on the passage of time after award. Stock options and restricted stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2018 Plan).

 

In September 2018, the Company granted stock options for 32,255 shares to members of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plan were granted with a vesting rate not exceeding twenty percent (20%) per year for five years. Options granted in September 2018 have an exercise price $15.89, as determined on the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date.

 

The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes model for stock options granted in September 2018 using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 24.56%, a risk free interest rate of 3.01%, and an expected term of 7.5 years. The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term.

Note 6:Regulatory Matters

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulatory reporting standards, to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total capital (as defined), Tier I capital (as defined) and common equity Tier 1capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

 

In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses.

 

As a result of the recently enacted Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), banking regulatory agencies including the Federal Reserve Board must establish for institutions with less than $10 billion of assets a “community bank leverage ratio” of tangible equity capital to total average consolidated assets of between 8 to 10%. Institutions with capital meeting the specified requirement and electing to follow the alternative regulatory capital structure will be considered to comply with the applicable regulatory capital requirements, including the risk-based requirements. The establishment of the community bank leverage ratio is subject to notice and comment rulemaking by the federal regulators and the agencies issued a proposed rule in February 2019 that would set the “community bank leverage ratio” at 9%.

 

In addition, as a result of the Act, the Federal Reserve Board has amended its small bank holding company and savings and loan holding company policy statement to provide that holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion that are (i) not engaged in significant nonbanking activities, (ii) do not conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, and (3) do not have a material amount of SEC-registered debt or equity securities, other than trust preferred securities, that contribute to an organization’s complexity, are not subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.

Note 7:Disclosure About Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

 

Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

 

Nonrecurring Measurements

 

The following tables present the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

          Fair Value Measurements Using

Fair value adjustments, consisting of charge-offs or allocated allowances, on impaired loans and foreclosed assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $0.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

 

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL

 

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Bank considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the lending department. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by comparison to historical results.

 

Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

 

The following tables present quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

   Fair Value at   Valuation       
   March 31, 2020   Technique  Unobservable Inputs  Range 

Impaired loans (collateral dependent)

  $34   Market comparable properties  Marketability discount   10% - 15% 

 

   Fair Value at   Valuation       
   December 31, 2019   Technique  Unobservable Inputs  Range 

Impaired loans (collateral dependent)

  $105   Market comparable properties  Marketability discount   10% - 15% 

 

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet at amounts other than fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Time Deposits

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Loans Held For Sale

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the insignificant time between origination and date of sale. The carrying amount is the amount funded.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Loans

 

The estimated fair value of loans follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments. The fair value calculation at that date discounted estimated future cash flows using rates that incorporated discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.

 

FHLB Stock

 

Fair value is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of such securities.

 

FHLB Lender Risk Account Receivable

 

The fair value of the Federal Home Loan Bank lender risk account receivable is estimated by discounting the estimated remaining cash flows of each strata of the receivable at current rates applicable to each strata for the same remaining maturities.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value. The carrying amount is determined using the interest rate, balance and last payment date.

 

Deposits

 

Fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by the Bank. The rates were the average of current rates offered by local competitors of the Bank.

 

The estimated fair value of checking, NOW, savings and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and amounts are payable on demand at the reporting date.

 

FHLB Advances

 

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. These rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB.

 

Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Forward Sale Commitments, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

 

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of commitments to sell securities is estimated based on current market prices for securities of similar terms and credit quality. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of such commitments was not material.

 

The following tables present estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Note 8:Commitments and Credit Risk

 

Commitments to Originate Loans

 

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

 

At March 31, 2020, the Bank had six loans approved but not yet originated of $2.2 million with interest rates ranging from 2.625% to 4.5%. At December 31, 2019, the Bank had no loans approved but not yet originated. At March 31, 2020, the Bank had undisbursed loans in process of $7.2 million with interest rate ranges of 3.875% - 4.875%. At December 31, 2019 the Company had undisbursed loans in process of $6.8 million with interest rate ranges of 3.875% - 4.875%.

 

Lines of Credit

 

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Lines and letters of credit at March 31, 2020 were as follows:

 

March 31, 2020    
Unused lines of credit  $3,396 
Standby letters of credit   - 
Unused home equity lines   10,765 
      
Total commitments  $14,161

Note 9:Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. is an “emerging growth company. As an “emerging growth company”, we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. A lease will be treated as sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing. If the lessor doesn't convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On October 16, 2019 FASB voted to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” Nonpublic business entities should now apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since the Company does not have a material amount of lease agreements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the amendments and will subsequently implement new processes to comply with the ASU. In addition, the Company will change its current accounting practice to comply with the amendments and such changes as mentioned above.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The provisions of ASU 2016-13 were issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the financial assets. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. On October 16, 2019 FASB voted to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” For all other entities, the amendments are now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from the amendments. The Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) estimate is material to the Company and given the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the life of the loan, there is the potential for an increase in the ALL at the adoption date. The Company is anticipating a significant change in processes and procedures to calculate the ALL, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider the expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for the other-than temporary impairment on available-for-sale securities will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company has continued developing processes during the first quarter of 2020. Management continues to focus its attention on collecting historical loan loss data, loan level data, and evaluating data capabilities to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption date. For additional information on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 3.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

 

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

·our ability to continue to manage our operations successfully;

 

·effect of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic on our Company, the communities where we have our branches, the state of Ohio and the United States, related to the economy and overall financial stability, which may also exacerbate the effects of the other factors listed herein;

 

·our ability to successfully implement our business plan of managed growth, diversifying our loan portfolio and increasing mortgage banking operations to improve profitability;

 

·our success in increasing our commercial business, commercial real estate, construction and home equity lending;

 

·adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national local real estate markets (including real estate values);

 

·significant increases in our loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified and non-performing assets or reduce risks associated with our loans, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

 

·credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses;

 

·the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

 

·competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

·our ability to attract and maintain deposits and our success in introducing new financial products;

 

 33 

 

 

·our ability to maintain our asset quality even as we intend to increase our commercial real estate and multi-family and commercial business lending;

 

·changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

 

·fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

 

·changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits;

 

·declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

 

·risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

 

·the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

 

·changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

 

·our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

 

·changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements, regulatory fees and compliance costs, particularly the new capital regulations, and the resources we have available to address such changes;

 

·changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

·changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs in response to product demand or to implement our strategic plans;

 

·loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;

 

·our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;

 

·the failure or security breaches of computer systems on which we depend;

 

·the ability of key third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us;

 

·changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; and

 

·other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in our SEC filings.

 

Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus that has caused the COVID-19 pandemic can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, our forward-looking statements are subject to the following additional risks, uncertainties and assumptions:

 

 34 

 

 

·demand for our products and services may decline;

 

·if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase;

 

·collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value;

 

·our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties;

 

·the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline;

 

·as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities;

 

·a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;

 

·actions taken by the federal, state or local governments to cushion the impact of COVID-19 on consumers and businesses may have a negative impact on us and our business;

 

·our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and

 

·FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

 

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, including those disclosed in our SEC filings and in this report in Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

 

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Impact

 

The following is a description of the impact the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is having on our financial condition and the results of operations and certain risks to our business that the pandemic creates or exacerbates.

 

Loan Modifications

 

We began receiving requests from borrowers for loan deferrals in March. Modifications include the deferral of principal and interest for generally 90 days. Requests were evaluated individually and approved modifications were based on the unique circumstances of each borrower. We are committed to working with our clients to allow time to work through the challenges of this pandemic. At this time, it is uncertain what future impact loan modifications related to COVID-19 difficulties will have on our financial condition, results of operations and reserve for loan losses. The following table shows coronavirus (COVID-19) loan modifications approved. We have received requests to modify 35 loans aggregating $15.1 million. We have modified 28 loans aggregating $14.1 million, primarily consisting of the deferral of principal and interest payments resulting in the extension of the maturity date. Of these modifications, $14.1 million, or 100%, were performing in accordance with their modified terms. Details with respect to actual modifications are as follows:

 

 35 

 

 

      Weighted Average 
Types of Loans  Number of Loans  Balance   Interest Rate 
Residential mortgage loans  6  $1,331    4.04  %
Commercial real estate and land loans  13   10,844    5.06%
Home Equity and other consumer  1   60    6.00%
Residential Construction  ---   ---    --- 
Residential mortgage loans, non-owner occupied..  5   228    5.56%
Multi-family real estate loans  ---   ---    --- 
Commercial loans  3   1,612    5.15%
Total  28  $14,075    4.99%

 

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

 

As part of the CARES Act, approved by the President on March 27, 2020, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been authorized to guarantee loans under the PPP through June 30, 2020 for small businesses who meet the necessary eligibility requirements in order to keep their workers on the payroll. As of April 28, 2020, we have received approximately 85 applications for up to $22.4 million of loans under the PPP. We intend to limit our investment in PPP loans up to $25.0 million.

 

Financial Position and Results of Operations

 

Our March 31, 2020 financial condition and results of operations reflect a slightly negative impact on our allowance for loan losses as a result of COVID-19. See discussions in “Allowance for Loan Losses” below. While we have not yet experienced any charge-offs related to COVID-19, our allowance for loan losses calculation and resulting provision for credit losses were impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Given that forecasted economic scenarios have been negatively impacted since the pandemic was declared in early March, our need for additional reserve for credit loss increased. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our required allowance for loan losses and record additional credit loss expense. The execution of the payment deferrals discussed above under “Loan Modifications” assisted our ratio of past due loans to total loans. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

 

Our fee income could be reduced due to COVID-19. At this time, we do not anticipate a material impact on our fee income.

 

Our interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact but recognize the breadth of the economic impact may affect our borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

 

Capital and Liquidity

 

As of March 31, 2020, all of our capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses.

 

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

 

The ability to pay dividends or conduct stock repurchases is limited under applicable banking regulations and regulatory policies, including for any losses for the relevant period, expected losses for future periods and/or the inability to upstream funds from a financial institution to its holding company as a result of lower income or regulatory capital levels. We may consider, or be required to, suspend stock repurchase activities, or may suspend, or reduce the level of dividends we pay.

 

 36 

 

 

Asset valuation

 

Currently, we do not expect COVID-19 to affect our ability to account timely for the assets on our balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP. As of March 31, 2020 we did not have any impairment with respect to our intangible assets, premises and equipment or other long-lived assets.

 

Retail Operations

 

With the health and safety of our customers and staff in mind, and consistent with recommendations from the CDC and State and Local governments concerning COVID-19, all banking offices, with the exception of the Edwards Road location began operating as drive-up only facilities on March 17, 2020. The lobby of the Bridgetown Road location remained open by appointment only. Most banking transactions continue through the drive-ups, including opening new deposit accounts. Online and mobile banking is available for customer’s to check their balance, transfer funds, and pay bills. Checks can be deposited using mobile banking. Our network of over 30,000 ATMs are available for cash withdrawals with no service charge. Although our lobbies are closed, we are still open, operating and serving our customers with uninterrupted access to their account information and the ability to complete banking transactions.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be our critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

The following represents our critical accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience for the last three years and expected loss given default derived from our internal risk rating process. Other qualitative adjustments are made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

 

 37 

 

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.

 

At March 31, 2020 the Bank added an additional qualitative factor related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The qualitative factor (Environmental Risk Factor for the Impact of Coronavirus) adds risk factors to all pools. Higher basis points have been added to the pools that we expected would be more directly affected by the Pandemic. Those pools include residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, and commercial loans (C&I). The qualitative factor related to the coronavirus, as are all qualitative factors, will be reviewed each quarter and updated as needed going forward in 2020. The amount added to the allowance related to the COVID-19 pandemic at March 31, 2020 was $25,000.

 

FHLB-Cincinnati Lender Risk Account Receivable. Certain loan sale transactions with the FHLB-Cincinnati provide for establishment of a Lender Risk Account (“LRA”). The LRA consists of amounts withheld from loan sale proceeds by the FHLB-Cincinnati for absorbing inherent losses that are probable on those sold loans. These withheld funds are an asset as they are scheduled to be paid to us in future years, net of any credit losses on those loans sold. The receivables are initially measured at fair value. The fair value is estimated by discounting the cash flows over the life of each master commitment contract. The accretable yield is amortized over the life of the master commitment contract. Expected cash flows are re-evaluated at each measurement date. If there is an adverse change in expected cash flows, the accretable yield would be adjusted on a prospective basis and the asset would be evaluated for impairment.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

 

Total Assets. Total assets were $144.1 million at March 31, 2020, an increase of $1.3 million, or 0.9%, from $142.8 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in loans held for sale of $2.1 million, offset by a decrease in net loans of $909,000.

 

Net Loans. Net loans decreased by $909,000, or 0.9%, to $105.7 million at March 31, 2020 from $106.6 million at December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we originated $27.3 million of loans, $23.2 million of which were one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and sold $20.2 million of loans in the secondary market. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, one- to four-family residential real estate loans decreased $2.6 million, or 4.0%, to $62.8 million, multi-family loans decreased $16,000, or 1.5%, to $1.1 million, commercial real estate loans and land loans decreased $280,000, or 1.3%, to $20.1 million, home equity and other consumer loans decreased $706,000, or 7.3% to $9.0 million, construction loans increased $2.0 million, or 17.5%, to $13.7 million, and commercial loans increased $1.1 million, or 18.4% to $7.0 million. Despite the small decrease in loan balances during the quarter, our strategy to grow and diversify our loan portfolio will continue. Such growth is expected to be achieved amid strong competition for commercial real estate and one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in our market area in the current interest rate environment.

 

We have sold loans on a servicing released basis in transactions with the FHLB-Cincinnati, through its mortgage purchase program, and other investors. We sold $20.2 million of loans in the first three months of 2020. Loans serviced for these investors was $1.6 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Management intends to continue this sales activity in future periods.

 

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks. The Bank’s investment in certificates of deposit in other banks was unchanged and remained at $3.0 million at March 31, 2020 from December 31, 2019.

Foreclosed Assets. There were no additions to foreclosed assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the Bank had no foreclosed assets.

 

Deposits. Deposits increased $1.3 million, or 1.1%, to $113.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $112.0 million at December 31, 2019. Our core deposits, which are all deposits other than certificates of deposit, increased $1.4 million, or 2.1%, to $65.8 million at March 31, 2020 from $64.4 million at December 31, 2019. Certificates of deposit decreased $105,000, or 0.2%, to $47.5 million at March 31, 2020 from $447.6 million at December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in demand accounts and other lower cost core deposits. Management intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits, with a special emphasis on growth in consumer and business demand deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. At March 31, 2020, the Bank had no advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $185,000, or 0.7%, to $28.1 million at March 31, 2020 from $27.9 million at December 31, 2019. The increase resulted from net income of $177,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, expense of $26,000 related to the ESOP shares committed to be released, expense of $62,000 related to stock based compensation, offset by a repurchase of common stock of $80,000.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019

 

General. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $177,000, compared to a net income of $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $96,000, or 118.5%. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income of $285,000, offset by a decrease in net interest income of $128,000, a provision for loan losses of $25,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $12,000, and an increase in tax expense of $24,000.

 

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $80,000, or 5.9%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to an $84,000 decrease in interest income on loans receivable. The average balance of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $6.0 million, or 5.4%, from the average balance for the three months ended March 31, 2019, while the average yield on loans decreased by five basis points to 4.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 4.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $48,000, or 20.3%, to $285,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $5.4 million, or 5.4%, from the average balance for the three months ended March 31, 2019, while the average cost of deposits increased by 13 basis points to 1.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 0.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $128,000, or 11.5%, to $989,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease reflected a decrease in total interest and dividend income of $80,000, and an increase in total interest expense of $48,000. Our net interest margin decreased 49 basis points to 3.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 3.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 3.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in our net interest margin and interest rate spread were impacted by declining interest rates in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a $25,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was $1.2 million, or 1.05% of total loans, at March 31, 2020, compared to $1.2 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. Total nonperforming loans were $1.5 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2019. Classified loans were $1.7 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2019. Total loans past due 30 days or more were $1.7 million and $952,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Net loan recovery totaled $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $35,000 of net loan charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2020 and 2019. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $285,000, or 69.7%, to $694,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gain on sales of loans of $277,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $12,000, or 0.8%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits of $40,000, and an increase in other expenses of $15,000, offset by a reduction in foreclosed real estate expenses of $21,000, a reduction in data processing expenses of $10,000, and a reduction in legal and professional services of $5,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes increased by $24,000 to an income tax expense of $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to an income tax expense of $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes, resulting from an increase the gain on sale of loans of $277,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Average Balances and Yields

 

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, annualized average yields and costs, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from the sale of loans. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB-Cincinnati. At March 31, 2020, we had no outstanding advances from the FHLB-Cincinnati. At March 31, 2020, we had the capacity to borrow an additional $48.9 million from the FHLB-Cincinnati.

 

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

 

 41 

 

 

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, while net cash used by operating activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities, which consists primarily of repayment or disbursements for loans was $812,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the net provided by investing activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts, was $872,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2020, while the net cash used in financing activities was $838,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, also resulted primarily from activity in deposit accounts.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

 

At March 31, 2020, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $22.3 million, or 15.7% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $7.1 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $23.5 million, or 17.2% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $13.7 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, Eagle Savings Bank was categorized as well capitalized at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At March 31, 2020, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $23.5 million, including undisbursed funds on construction loans and funds available on undrawn lines of credit. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature within one year from March 31, 2020 totaled $27.9 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB-Cincinnati advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Offer, concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – Other Information

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1.A.Risk Factors

 

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2020 (“Form 10-K”), including under “Item 1.A. Risk Factors”, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. At March 31, 2020, the risk factors for Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. have not changed materially from those reported in the Form 10-K. However, the risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. has made the following addition to the risk factors disclosed in Form 10-K “Item 1.A. Risk Factors” of its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and is expected to continue to adversely impact, our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, customer demand, funding, operations, interest rate risk, and human capital, as described in more detail below.

 

 43 

 

 

·Credit Risk. Our risks of timely loan repayment and the value of collateral supporting the loans are affected by the strength of our borrower’s business. The COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the spread of the coronavirus has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause our customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans in our portfolio, we could incur significant delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses, particularly if the available collateral is insufficient to cover our exposure. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the collateral values associated with our existing loans, the ability to liquidate the real estate collateral securing our residential and commercial real estate loans, our ability to maintain loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing, the future demand for or profitability of our lending and other services, and the financial condition and credit risk of our customers. Further, in the event of delinquencies, regulatory changes and policies designed to protect borrowers may slow or prevent us from making otherwise logical and sound business decisions or may result in a delay in our taking certain remediation actions, such as foreclosure. In addition, we have unfunded commitments to extend credit to customers. During a challenging economic environment like now, our customers are more dependent on our credit commitments and increased borrowings under these commitments could adversely impact our liquidity. Furthermore, in an effort to support our communities during the pandemic, we are participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act whereby loans to small businesses are made and those loans are subject to the regulatory requirements that would require forbearance of loan payments for a specified time or that would limit our ability to pursue all available remedies in the event of a loan default. If the borrower under the PPP loan fails to qualify for loan forgiveness, we are at the heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates as compared to the loans to customers that we would have otherwise extended credit.

 

·Strategic Risk. Our success may be affected by a variety of external factors that may affect the price or marketability of our products and services, changes in interest rates that may increase our funding costs, reduced demand for our financial products due to economic conditions and the various responses of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. In recent weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. Furthermore, many of the governmental actions have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19. These actions have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity. For example, in many of our markets, local governments have acted to temporarily close or restrict the operations of most businesses. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the future banking products we provide, including a decline in originating of loans.

 

·Operational Risk. Current and future restrictions on our workforce’s access to our facilities could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. We rely on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices with a portion of our employees working remotely from their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work-from-home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, greater risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.

 

 44 

 

 

·Interest Rate Risk. Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.

 

Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, operating results, financial condition, liquidity or capital levels. Further, changes in liquidity or capital levels may require us to suspend stock repurchase activities, or may suspend, or reduce the level of dividends we pay.

 

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(1)On December 12, 2018, the Company announced the adoption of a stock repurchase program under which the Company could repurchase up to 81,285 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the then current outstanding shares. At March 31, 2020, the Company had purchased a total of 65,200 shares of the Company’s common stock under this program at an average price of $15.87 per share, and there remained 16,085 shares still available for repurchase under the program. The timing of the purchases will depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, available funds and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, negotiated private transactions and pursuant to a trading plan that will be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any repurchased shares will be held by the Company as authorized but unissued shares. The repurchase program has no expiration date, but may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.
