SOUND FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the consolidated financial statements of Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sound Community Bank and Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc.  References in this document to Sound Financial Bancorp refer to Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. and references to the “Bank” refer to Sound Community Bank. References to “we,” “us,” and “our” or the “Company” refers to Sound Financial Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sound Community Bank and Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc., unless the context otherwise requires.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2023 (“2022 Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other future period.

Certain amounts in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These classifications do not have an impact on previously reported consolidated net income, stockholders’ equity or earnings per share.

We have not made any changes in our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K, except for the accounting for debt securities, the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans and unfunded commitments, and loan modifications, as described below.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities. The ACL on investment securities is determined for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale classifications of the investment portfolio in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. For available-for-sale investment securities, we perform a quarterly qualitative evaluation for securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if, for those investments in an unrealized loss position, the decline in fair value is credit related or non-credit related. In determining whether a security’s decline in fair value is credit related, we consider a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) downgrades in credit ratings; (iv) payment structure of the security, (v) the ability of the issuer of the security to make scheduled principal and interest payments and (vi) general market conditions, which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads. If it is determined that the unrealized loss can be attributed to credit loss, we record the amount of credit loss through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings. However, the amount of credit loss recorded in current period earnings is limited to the amount of the total unrealized loss on the security, which is measured as the amount by which the security’s fair value is below its amortized cost. If it is likely we will be required to sell the security in an unrealized loss position, the total amount of the loss is recognized in current period earnings. For unrealized losses deemed non-credit related, we record the loss, net of tax, through accumulated other comprehensive income.

We determine expected credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities through a discounted cash flow approach, using the security’s effective interest rate. However, as previously mentioned, the measurement of credit losses on available-for-sale securities only occurs when, through our qualitative assessment, all or a portion of the unrealized loss is determined to be credit related. Our discounted cash flow approach incorporates assumptions about the collectability of future cash flows. The amount of credit loss is measured as the amount by which the security’s amortized cost exceeds the present value of expected future cash flows. Credit losses on available-for-sale securities are measured on an individual basis, while credit losses on held-to-maturity securities are measured on a collective basis according to shared risk characteristics. Credit losses on held-to-maturity securities are only recognized at the individual security level when we determine a security no longer possesses risk characteristics similar to others in the portfolio. We do not measure credit losses on an investment’s accrued interest receivable, but rather promptly reverse from current period earnings the amount of accrued interest that is no longer deemed collectable. Accrued interest receivable for investment securities is included in accrued interest receivable balances in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

9

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Loan Commitments. We maintain an ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments in accordance with ASC 326. ASC 326 requires us to recognize estimates for lifetime credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments at the time of origination or acquisition. The recognition of credit losses at origination or acquisition represents our best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, given the facts and circumstances associated with a particular loan or group of loans with similar risk characteristics. Determining the ACL involves the use of significant management judgement and estimates, which are subject to change based on management’s ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and changes in economic forecasts used in the model. We use a historical loss rate model when determining estimates for the ACL for our loan portfolio. We also utilize proxy loan data in our ACL model where our own historical data is not sufficiently available. We do not measure credit losses on a loan’s accrued interest receivable, but rather promptly reverse from current period earnings the amount of accrued interest that is no longer deemed collectable. Accrued interest receivable for loans is included in accrued interest receivable balances in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our ACL model forecasts primarily over a two-year time horizon, which we believe is a reasonable and supportable period. Beyond the two-year forecast time horizon, our ACL model reverts to historical long-term average loss rates. The duration of the forecast horizon, the period over which forecasts revert to long-term averages, the economic forecasts that management utilizes, as well as additional internal and external indicators of economic forecasts that management considers, may change over time depending on the nature and composition of our loan portfolio.

We utilize a discounted cash flow ACL model for individually analyzed loans using internally derived estimates for prepayments in determining the amount and timing of future contractual cash flows we expect to collect, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. The estimate of future cash flows also incorporates estimates for contractual amounts we believe may not be collected, which are based on assumptions for our estimated exposure at default. Our estimated exposure at default is determined by the contractual payment schedule and expected payment profile of the loan, incorporating estimates for expected prepayments and future draws on revolving credit facilities. Our ACL methodology for unfunded loan commitments also includes assumptions concerning the probability an unfunded commitment will be drawn upon by the borrower. These assumptions are based on the historical experience of banks in an independent third party database.

Expectations of future cash flows are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate for individually analyzed loans. The effective interest rate represents the contractual rate on the loan, adjusted for any purchase premiums, or discounts, and deferred fees and costs associated with an originated loan. We have made an accounting policy election to adjust the effective interest rate to take into consideration the effects of estimated prepayments. The resulting ACL represents the amount by which the loan’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of a loan’s discounted cash flows. The ACL is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries on loans previously charged-off. It is our policy to charge-off loan balances at the time they are not expected to be collected.

The historical loss rate model is derived from our loan portfolio credit history, as well as the comparable credit history for peer banks in Washington state. Key loan level attributes and economic drivers in determining the loss rate for loans include unemployment rates, changes to interest rates, changes in credit quality, changes to the consumer price index, and changes in real estate prices.

In order to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions, we estimate how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligations to us and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of a loan. Management periodically evaluates appropriateness of economic scenarios and may decide that a particular economic scenario or a combination of probability-weighted economic scenarios should be used in our ACL model. Our ACL model at June 30, 2023 includes assumptions concerning the rising interest rate environment, ongoing inflationary pressures throughout the U.S. economy, higher energy prices, the potential impact of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, general uncertainty concerning future economic conditions, and the potential for recessionary conditions.

It is important to note that our ACL model relies on multiple economic variables, which are used in several economic scenarios. Although no one economic variable can fully demonstrate the sensitivity of the ACL calculation to changes in the economic variables used in the model, we have identified certain economic variables that have significant influence in our model for determining the ACL. These key economic variables include changes in the Washington state unemployment rate, residential real estate prices in the Seattle Metropolitan Statistical Area, and interest rates. Recognizing that forecasts of macroeconomic conditions are inherently uncertain, we believe that the process to consider the available information and associated risks and uncertainties is appropriately governed and that estimates of expected credit losses were reasonable and appropriate upon adoption and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Our ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. We recognize that historical information used as the basis for determining future expected credit losses may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses. We therefore consider the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL on a quarterly

10

basis. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but are not limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios, and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL.

Qualitative adjustments primarily relate to certain segments of the loan portfolio deemed by management to be of a higher-risk profile or other factors where management believes the quantitative component of our ACL model may not be fully reflective of levels deemed adequate in the judgement of management. Certain qualitative adjustments also relate to heightened uncertainty as to future macroeconomic conditions and the related impact on certain loan segments. Management reviews the need for an appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.

Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty. We occasionally modify loans to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize our potential losses. We refer to these modifications as modified loans to troubled borrowers. Modifications may include: changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and, in very limited cases, reductions to the outstanding loan balance. Such loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been in default for a period of 90 days or more. Such loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt. We typically measure the ACL on modified loans to troubled borrowers on an individual basis when the loans are deemed to no longer share risk characteristics that are similar with other loans in the portfolio. The determination of the ACL for these loans is based on a discounted cash flow approach for loans measured individually, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. GAAP requires us to make certain disclosures related to these loans, including certain types of modifications, as well as how such loans have performed since their modifications. Refer to Note 4 – Loans for additional information concerning modified loans to troubled borrowers.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted

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

In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification. The amendments in this ASU have differing effective dates, beginning with interim periods including and subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in November 2018, ASU No. 2018-19,

11

April 2019, ASU 2019-04, May 2019, ASU 2019-05, November 2019, ASU 2019-11, February 2020, ASU 2020-02, and March 2020, ASU 2020-03, all of which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance. This ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology that recognizes credit losses when a probable loss has been incurred with new methodology where loss estimates are based upon lifetime expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement would then reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes to the expected credit losses that have taken place during the reporting period.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326 through the application of the modified retrospective transition approach, and recorded a net decrease of approximately $1.1 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect adjustment, reflecting an initial adjustment to the ACL of $1.5 million, net of related deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of $305 thousand, commonly referred to as the “Day 1” adjustment. The Day 1 adjustment to the ACL is reflective of expected lifetime credit losses associated with the composition of financial assets within in the scope of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023, which is comprised of loans held for investment and off-balance sheet credit exposures at January 1, 2023, as well as management’s current expectation of future economic conditions.

The following table presents the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023:

(dollars in thousands)	As Reported Under ASC 326		Prior to Adopting ASC 326		Impact of ASC 326 Adoption

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the ASU requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, upon the Company’s adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 using the prospective transition guidance which allows the entity to continue estimating expected credit losses in accordance with legacy U.S. GAAP for receivables modified in a TDR until the receivables are subsequently modified or settled. Once a legacy TDR is modified after adoption of ASU 2022-02, the

12

prospective transition guidance no longer applies and the impact to the ACL is recognized in earnings in the period of modification. This is not expected to be material.

There were no pledged securities at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

There were no sales of AFS or HTM securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Accrued interest receivable on securities totaled $49 thousand and $54 thousand at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

There was no allowance for credit losses on securities at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the total securities portfolio consisted of 12 agency mortgage-backed securities and 11 municipal bonds, with a total portfolio fair value of $10.2 million. At December 31, 2022, the total securities portfolio consisted of one treasury bill security, 11 agency mortgage-backed securities and 12 municipal bonds, with a fair value of $12.0 million. At June 30, 2023, there were two securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and 16 securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Of the two securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, both were classified as AFS. At December 31, 2022, there were 16 securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and three securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses were caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities, and not related to the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. It is expected that these securities will not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of each investment. There was no provision for credit losses recognized for investment securities during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023, because the declines in fair value were not attributable to credit quality and because we do not intend, and it is not likely that we will be required, to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Credit Quality Indicators. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets (such as OREO and repossessed assets), debt and equity securities considered as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the

17

collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

Management regularly reviews loans in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine appropriate loan classification and grading. The grades for watch and special mention loans are used by the Company to identify and track potential problem loans which do not rise to the levels described for substandard, doubtful, or loss. These are loans which have been criticized and deserve management's close attention based upon known characteristics such as periodic payment delinquency, failure to comply with contractual terms of the loan, or collateral concerns. Loans identified as watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are subject to additional problem loan reporting to management every three months.

When we classify problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, we may determine that these assets should be individually analyzed if they no longer share common risk characteristics with the rest of the portfolio. Therefore we may establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent to address those risks. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities for pooled loans with common risk characteristics, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off those assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Bank's federal regulator, and, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, the Bank's state banking regulator, which can order the establishment of additional loss allowances. Assets which do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated as special mention.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans.  Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual once the loan is 90 days past due or sooner if, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment of obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $2.0 million at June 30, 2023. The Company has granted modifications which can generally be described in the following categories:

Principal Forgiveness:  A modification in which the principal is reduced.

Rate Modification:  A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification:  A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment Modification:  A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed.  Interest only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time are included in this category.

Combination Modification:  Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing loan receivables whose terms have been modified at June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was one one-to-four family loan modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that was in current status as of June 30, 2023. This loan received a term extension for 90 days, with an amortized cost basis of $90 thousand representing 0.03% of the total class of loans. There were no loans modified within the three months ended June 30, 2023.

We have no modified loan receivables that have subsequently defaulted at June 30, 2023.

Troubled debt restructurings. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, the Company had granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications that were considered TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs totaled $2.0 million at December 31, 2022, and were previously included in impaired loans.

Collateral Dependent Loans. Loans that have been classified as collateral dependent are loans where substantially all repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of or eventual liquidation of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated individually for purposes of determining the ACL, which is determined based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Estimates for costs to sell are included in the determination of the ACL when liquidation of the collateral is anticipated. In cases where the loan is well secured and the estimated value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost of the loan, no ACL is recorded.

The following tables summarize collateral dependent loans by collateral type as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Impaired Loans.  Prior to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, we classified loans as impaired when we determined that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, we took into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically did not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls was considered on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including payment history. Impairment was measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio. All TDRs were also classified as impaired loans and were included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the requirements established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair values for financial instruments as the exit price, the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company’s fair values for financial instruments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were determined based on these requirements.

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

Cash and cash equivalents - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.

Available-for-sale securities – AFS securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments.  Level 2 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government securities.  

Held-to-maturity securities – HTM securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available,

23

management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments.  Level 2 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government securities.  

Loans held-for-sale - One-to-four family mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate one-to-four family loans held-for-sale is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, loans held-for-sale were carried at cost, as no impairment was required.

Loans held-for-portfolio - The estimated fair value of loans held-for-portfolio consists of a credit adjustment to reflect the estimated adjustment to the carrying value of the loans due to credit-related factors and a yield adjustment, to reflect the estimated adjustment to the carrying value of the loans due to a differential in yield between the portfolio loan yields and estimated current market rate yields on loans with similar characteristics. The estimated fair values of loans held-for-portfolio reflect exit price assumptions. The liquidity premium/discounts are part of the valuation for exit pricing.

Mortgage servicing rights –The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs.

FHLB stock - The estimated fair value is equal to the par value of the stock.

Non-maturity deposits - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.

Time deposits - The estimated fair value of time deposits is based on the difference between interest costs paid on the Company’s time deposits and current market rates for time deposits with comparable characteristics.

Borrowings - The fair value of borrowings are estimated using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

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

A description of the valuation methodologies used for impaired loans and OREO is as follows:

Collateral dependent loans - The fair value of collateral dependent loans is based on the current appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

Troubled debt restructurings (prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02) - The fair value of loan modifications that were considered TDRs prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 is based on the current appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, or internally developed models utilizing a calculation of expected discounted cash flows which contain management’s assumptions.

OREO and repossessed assets – The fair value of OREO and repossessed assets is based on the current appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. 

Off-balance sheet financial instruments - The fair value for the Company’s off-balance sheet loan commitments is estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Company’s clients. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following tables present the balance of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

	Fair Value at June 30, 2023

The following tables provide a description of the valuation technique, unobservable input, and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company’s assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

June 30, 2023
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted-Average)
Mortgage Servicing Rights	Discounted cash flow	Prepayment speed assumption		106%-524% (126%)
		Discount rate		10.5%-14.5% (12.5%)

December 31, 2022
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted-Average)
Mortgage Servicing Rights	Discounted cash flow	Prepayment speed assumption		119%-461% (132%)
		Discount rate		10.5%-14.5% (12.5%)

Generally, any significant increases in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the mortgage servicing rights will result in a negative fair value adjustment (and decrease in the fair value measurement).  Conversely, a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate will result in a positive fair value adjustment (and increase in the fair value measurement).  An increase in the weighted-average life will result in a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and conversely, a decrease in the weighted-average life will result in an increase of the constant prepayment rate. As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting our “Level 3” fair value assets, we are required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements.

There were no assets or liabilities (excluding mortgage servicing rights) measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 

Mortgage servicing rights are measured at fair value using a significant unobservable input (Level 3) on a recurring basis. Additional information is included in “Note 6—Mortgage Servicing Rights.”

26

The fair value of individually evaluated loans with specific allocations of the ACL based on collateral values and OREO is generally based on recent real estate appraisals and automated valuation models (“AVMs”). These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically deemed significant unobservable inputs used for determining fair value and result in a Level 3 classification.

The following tables present the balance of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	Fair Value at June 30, 2023
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
OREO and repossessed assets	$	575	$	—	$	—	$	575
Collateral dependent loans	1,959		—		—		1,959

Note 10 – Stock-based Compensation

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

The Company currently has one active stockholder-approved stock-based compensation plan, the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The 2013 Plan permits the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. The equity incentive plan approved by stockholders in 2008 (the"2008 Plan") expired in November 2018 and no further awards may be made under the 2008 Plan; provided, however, all awards outstanding under the 2008 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Under the 2013 Plan, 181,750 shares of common stock were approved for awards for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 116,700 shares of common stock were approved for awards for restricted stock and restricted stock units.

As of June 30, 2023, on an adjusted basis, awards for stock options totaling 295,464 shares and awards for restricted stock totaling 159,396 shares of Company common stock have been granted, net of any forfeitures, to participants in the 2013 Plan and the 2008 Plan. Share-based compensation expense was $87 thousand and $279 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $91 thousand and $294 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

29

Stock Option Awards

All stock option awards granted under the 2008 Plan vest in 20% annual increments commencing one year from the grant date in accordance with the requirements of the 2008 Plan. The stock option awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan provide for immediate vesting of a portion of the award with the balance of the award vesting on the anniversary date of each grant date in equal annual installments over periods of one-to-four years subject to the continued service of the participant with the Company. All of the options granted under the 2008 Plan and the 2013 Plan are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to vesting.

The following is a summary of the Company’s stock option award activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years	Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Expected to vest, assuming a 0% forfeiture rate over the vesting term	85,895	$	31.51	5.62	$	495

As of June 30, 2023, there was $179 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.7 years. The total intrinsic value of the shares exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $61 thousand and $388 thousand, and for the three and six months ended 2022 was $0 and $54 thousand, respectively.

30

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Annual dividend yield	1.69		%	1.59		%
Expected volatility	28.15		%	26.48		%
Risk-free interest rate	3.60		%	1.64		%
Expected term	6.00 years			6.00 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted	$	11.33		$	9.95

There were no options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Restricted Stock Awards

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting periods of the awards. The restricted stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan vest in 20% annual increments commencing one year from the grant date. The restricted stock awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan provide for immediate vesting of a portion of the award with the balance of the award vesting on the anniversary dates of the grant date in equal annual installments over periods of one-to-four years subject to the continued service of the participant with the Company.

The following is a summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock award activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023:

General

Sound Financial Bancorp, a Maryland corporation, is a bank holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank. Substantially all of Sound Financial Bancorp’s business is conducted through Sound Community Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank. As a Washington commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank’s regulators are the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). As a bank holding company, Sound Financial Bancorp is regulated by the Federal Reserve. We also sell insurance products and services for clients through Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

Sound Community Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. At June 30, 2023, Sound Financial Bancorp, on a consolidated basis, had assets of $1.01 billion, net loans held-for-portfolio of $847.2 million, deposits of $822.3 million and stockholders’ equity of $99.9 million. The common stock of Sound Financial Bancorp is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SFBC.”  Our executive offices are located at 2400 3rd Avenue, Suite 150, Seattle, Washington, 98121.

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one-to-four family residences (including home equity loans and lines of credit), loans secured by commercial and multifamily real estate, construction and land loans, consumer loans and commercial business loans. Our commercial business loans include unsecured lines of credit and secured term loans and lines of credit secured by inventory, equipment and accounts receivable. We also offer a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including manufactured home loans, floating home loans, automobile loans, boat loans and recreational vehicle loans. As part of our business, we focus on the origination of residential mortgage loans, a significant portion of which we sell to Fannie Mae and other correspondents and the remainder of which we retain for our loan portfolio consistent with our asset/liability objectives. We sell loans that conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“conforming”) in which we retain the servicing of the loan in order to maintain the direct customer relationship and to generate noninterest income. Residential loans that do not conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“non-conforming”) are held in our loan portfolio. We originate and retain a significant amount of commercial real estate loans, including those secured by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate, multifamily properties and mobile home parks, as well as construction and land development loans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances that could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of

35

borrowers.  Management believes that its critical accounting estimates include determining the allowance for credit losses, accounting for other-than-temporary impairment of securities, accounting for mortgage servicing rights, accounting for other real estate owned and accounting for deferred income taxes. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, except as disclosed in “Note 1 —Basis of Presentation” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

General.   Total assets increased $34.4 million, or 3.5%, to $1.01 billion at June 30, 2023 from $976.4 million at December 31, 2022. The increase primarily was a result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in loans held-for-portfolio.

Cash and Securities, and Investment Securities.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $42.3 million, or 73.2%, to $100.2 million at June 30, 2023 from $57.8 million at December 31, 2022, consistent with management’s strategy to increase liquidity in light of the continued volatility in the banking sector. The increase was primarily from an increase in deposits, primarily certificate and money market accounts, and FHLB advances. Investment securities decreased $1.8 million, or 14.7%, to $10.6 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2022. Held-to-maturity securities totaled $2.2 million, both at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022. Available-for-sale securities totaled $8.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $10.2 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in available-for-sale securities was primarily due to the maturity of $1.6 million in treasury bills and regularly scheduled payments and maturities.

Loans.  Loans held-for-portfolio, net, decreased $11.2 million, or 1.3%, to $847.2 million at June 30, 2023 from $858.4 million at December 31, 2022, driven by declines in commercial and multifamily real estate and floating home loans, partially offset by an increase in manufactured home loans.

The following table reflects the changes in the mix of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		Amount Change		Percent Change
One-to-four family	$	273,720	$	274,638	$	(918)	(0.3)	%
Home equity	19,760		19,548		212		1.1
Commercial and multifamily	301,828		313,358		(11,530)		(3.7)
Construction and land	117,382		116,878		504		0.4
Manufactured homes	31,619		26,953		4,666		17.3
Floating homes	70,596		74,443		(3,847)		(5.2)
Other consumer	17,915		17,923		(8)		—
Commercial business	23,939		23,815		124		0.5
Premiums for purchased loans	884		973		(89)		(9.1)
Deferred loan fees	(2,214)		(2,548)		334		(13.1)
Total loans held-for-portfolio, gross	855,429		865,981		(10,552)		(1.2)
Allowance for credit losses — loans	(8,217)		(7,599)		(618)		8.1
Total loans held-for-portfolio, net	$	847,212	$	858,382	$	(11,170)	(1.3)	%

The decrease in commercial and multifamily real estate and floating home loans was primarily due to payoffs and paydowns during the period, including the payoff of $10.0 million related to three multifamily loans and $3.7 million related to two floating homes loans. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in manufactured home loans during the period as a result of high demand. At June 30, 2023, our loan portfolio, net of deferred loan fees, remained well-diversified. At that date, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 35.2% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans, accounted for 34.1% of total loans, commercial business loans accounted for 2.8% of total loans, and consumer loans, consisting of manufactured homes, floating homes, and other consumer loans, accounted for 14.0% of total loans. Construction and land loans accounted for 13.7% of total loans at June 30, 2023.

Loans held-for-sale totaled $1.7 million at June 30, 2023, compared to none at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to timing of mortgage originations and sales.

Allowance for Credit Losses.

The following table reflects the adjustments in our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period	(0.03)		%	0.06		%	(0.03)		%	0.02		%

Our ACL — loans increased $618 thousand, or 8.1%, to $8.2 million at June 30, 2023, from $7.6 million at December 31, 2022.

The change in the ACL - loans from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily a result of the adjustment for the adoption of ASU 2016-16. The provision for credit losses had a minimal impact on the change in the ACL, as a result of the decline in the loan portfolio from the payoff of three large multifamily loans and the completion of construction projects decreasing the ACL - loans, partially offset by construction advances that were outstanding at December 31, 2022 and funded during the six months ended June 30, 2023, thus reducing the reserve for unfunded commitments and increasing the ACL - loans. See “Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 — Provision for Credit Losses.”

Nonperforming Assets.  At June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets, which are comprised of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), totaled $2.1 million, or 0.21% of total assets, compared to $3.6 million, or 0.37% of total assets at December 31, 2022.

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

	Nonperforming Assets
	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		Amount Change		Percent Change
Total nonperforming loans	$	1,511	$	2,958	$	(1,447)	(48.9)
OREO and repossessed assets	575		659		(84)		(12.7)
Total nonperforming assets	$	2,086	$	3,617	$	(1,531)	(42.3)	%

39

Nonperforming assets, which are comprised of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and nonperforming modified loans) and other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets, decreased $1.5 million, or 42.3%, to $2.1 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at June 30, 2023 from $3.6 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets primarily was due to the payoff of $1.5 million in nonperforming one-to-four family loans related to a single borrower and the write-off of one residential property for $84 thousand. The percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.18% at June 30, 2023, compared to 0.34% of total loans at December 31, 2022.

Mortgage Servicing Rights.  The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $4.7 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $39 thousand, or 0.8%, from $4.7 million at December 31, 2022. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained and upon acquisition of a servicing portfolio. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value. If the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights fluctuates significantly, our financial results could be materially impacted.

Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits increased $13.5 million, or 1.7%, to $822.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $808.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily a result of higher balances in certificate and money market accounts, partially offset by lower balances in all other deposit products, largely driven by consumer behavior to move funds from lower rate deposit products into higher rate deposit products. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $14.7 million, or 8.5%, to $158.5 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $173.2 million at December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 19.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2023, compared to 21.4% at December 31, 2022.

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

	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate		Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate

Total deposits	$	822,253	1.24	%	$	808,763	0.37	%

(1) Escrow balances shown in noninterest-bearing deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

Scheduled maturities of time deposits at June 30, 2023, are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount
2023	$	137,571
2024	111,344
2025	33,902
2026	3,633
2027	1,924
Thereafter	111
	$	288,485

Savings, demand, and money market accounts have no contractual maturity. Certificates of deposit have maturities of five years or less.

The aggregate amount of time deposits in denominations of more than $250,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, totaled $80.4 million and $56.1 million, respectively. Deposit amounts in excess of $250,000 are not federally insured. As of June 30, 2023, uninsured deposits totaled $140.0 million, which represented 17.0% of total deposits, as compared to uninsured deposits of $161.9 million, or 20.0% of total deposits as of December 31, 2022. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements. The decrease in uninsured deposits primarily related to the increased customer use of deposit insurance products, such as ICS® (Insured Cash Sweep) and CDARS® (Certificate of Deposit Registry Service), that reduced the level of uninsured deposits following the recent failures of some banks during 2023.

40

Borrowings, comprised of FHLB advances, increased $17.0 million to $60.0 million at June 30, 2023 from $43.0 million at December 31, 2022, consistent with management’s strategy to maintain higher liquidity levels.

Subordinated notes, net totaled $11.7 million at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Stockholders’ Equity.   Total stockholders’ equity increased $2.2 million, or 2.3%, to $99.9 million at June 30, 2023, from $97.7 million at December 31, 2022. This increase primarily reflects $5.1 million of net income earned during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $303 thousand in proceeds from exercises of stock options, partially offset by $1.2 million in stock repurchases and the cash payment of $936 thousand in dividends to the Company’s stockholders. In addition, stockholders' equity was negatively impacted by the adoption of CECL in the first quarter of 2023, which as of January 1, 2023, resulted in an after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $1.1 million.

Rate/Volume Analysis

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

Interest income increased $3.4 million, or 38.1%, to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher average loan balances, a 65 basis point increase in the average loan yield and a 354 basis point increase in the average yield on investments, cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a lower average balance of investments, cash and cash equivalents.

Interest income on loans increased $2.9 million, or 32.8%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average balance of total loans was $866.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $741.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from increased balances in all loan categories, excluding commercial business loans. The average yield on total loans was 5.35% for three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 4.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average yield on total loans increased primarily due to variable rate loans adjusting to higher market interest rates and new loan originations at higher interest rates.

Interest income on the investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents increased $572 thousand, or 197.9%, to $861 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $289 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

44

decrease in average balance was due to lower average cash balances as we redeployed funds into higher interest-earning assets, specifically loans. The average yield on investments and cash and cash equivalents increased to 4.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of the rising interest rate environment.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022. Interest income increased $7.4 million, or 43.0%, to $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher average loan balances, a 62 basis point increase in the average loan yield and a 372 basis point increase in the average yield earned on investments, cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a lower average balance of investments, cash and cash equivalents.

Interest income on loans increased $6.2 million, or 36.7%, to $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, driven by higher average total loans and a 62 basis points increase in the average yield on loans. The average balance of total loans was $866.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $718.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from increased balances related to all loan categories, excluding other consumer and commercial business loans. The average yield on total loans was 5.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 4.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest income on the investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents increased $1.2 million, or 287.4%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $427 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on investment securities and cash and cash equivalents was due to higher average yields, partially offset by lower average balances. The average yield on investments and cash and cash equivalents was 4.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 0.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of the rising interest rate environment.

Interest Expense  

Q2 2023 vs Q2 2022. Interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 517.5%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $594 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense on deposits increased $2.5 million, or 613.3%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $414 thousand for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of a $183.8 million increase in the average balance of certificate accounts, as well as higher average rates paid on all interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $129.0 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits other than certificate accounts. The increase in the rate paid on certificate accounts contributed to a 124 basis point increase in the average cost of total deposits to 1.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, from 0.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense on borrowings, comprised solely of FHLB advances, was $547 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $12 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the increased use of FHLB advances to supplement our liquidity needs. Interest expense on subordinated notes was $168 thousand for both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022. Interest expense increased $5.3 million, or 444.2%, to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense on deposits increased $4.2 million, or 505.0%, to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $841 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of certificate accounts, as well as higher average rates paid on all interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits other than certificate accounts. The average cost of total deposits increased 104 basis points to 1.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from 0.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense on borrowings, comprised solely of FHLB advances, was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $12 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the increased use of FHLB advances to supplement our liquidity needs. Interest expense on subordinated notes was $336 thousand for both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net Interest Income.  

Q2 2023 vs Q2 2022. Net interest income increased $352 thousand, or 4.2%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our net interest margin was 3.71% and 3.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net interest income primarily was the result of a higher average balance of and yield earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a higher average balance of and rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in net interest margin primarily was due to the higher interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, driven by the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the higher average balances of certificates of deposits and borrowings, partially offset by higher interest income earned on interest-earning assets.

45

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022. Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 13.2%, to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our net interest margin was 3.86% and 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from higher average balances and yield earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the average balances of and rate paid on deposits and borrowings The increase in net interest margin primarily was due to average yields earned on interest-earning assets increasing at a faster pace than the average interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average borrowings.

Since March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has increased the target range for the federal funds rate by 500 basis points, including 75 basis points during 2023, to a range of 5.00% to 5.25% as of June 30, 2023. In July 2023, the FOMC increased the target range for the federal funds rate another 25 basis points to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%.

Provision for Credit Losses.  

The following table reflects the components of the (release of) provision for credit losses during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
(Release of) provision for credit losses on loans	$	(242)	$	600	$	3	$	725
(Release of) provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments	(89)		(8)		(324)		7
(Release of) provision for credit losses	$	(331)	$	592	$	(321)	$	732

The change in the provision for credit losses for both periods in 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 resulted primarily from changes in methodology used to reserve for credit losses. The Company adopted the CECL standard as of January 1, 2023. All amounts prior to January 1, 2023 were calculated using the previous incurred loss methodology to compute our allowance for loan losses, which is not directly comparable to the new current expected credit losses methodology. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the release of credit losses on loans resulted primarily from the decrease in our loans held-for-portfolio, with most of the decline occurring within our commercial construction portfolio as projects were completed, while the release of credit losses on unfunded loan commitments related to construction advances funding and moving into the ACL - loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses on loans primarily relates to the mix of the loan portfolio, partially offset by the decline in the balance of the loan portfolio, while the release of credit losses on unfunded loan commitments occurred for the same reasons discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Under CECL, the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 reflects assumptions related to our forecast concerning the economic environment as a result of local, national and global events, including recent bank failures. In addition, expected loss estimates consider various factors, including customer-specific information, changes in risk ratings, projected delinquencies, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $145 thousand, compared to net recoveries of $86 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the ACL are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the effects of inflation, and a potential recession or slowed economic growth, among other factors, could result in a material increase in the ACL and have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our ACL is subject to review by bank regulators as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the adjustment of reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $876 thousand, or 86.3%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2023		2022
Service charges and fee income	$	670	$	596	$	74	12.4	%
Earnings on BOLI	718		(35)		753		(2,151.4)
Mortgage servicing income	297		313		(16)		(5.1)
Fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights	96		57		39		68.4
Net gain on sale of loans	110		84		26		31.0
Total noninterest income	$	1,891	$	1,015	$	876	86.3	%

The increase in noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022 primarily was due to a $753 thousand increase in earnings on BOLI, reflecting $567 thousand in earnings on death benefits paid under our BOLI policies and an increase in the cash surrender value due to recent price increases in the securities market, an insurance settlement received during the current quarter on a prior OREO property included in service charges and fee income, a $26 thousand increase in net gain on sale of loans as a result of an increase in both the amount of loans originated for sale and gross margins earned on loans sold and a $39 thousand increase in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights due primarily to an increase in market values, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage servicing income as our servicing loan portfolio continues to pay down. Loans sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, totaled $6.4 million, compared to $2.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Noninterest income increased $318 thousand, or 12.5%, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2023		2022
Service charges and fee income	$	1,251	$	1,146	$	105	9.2	%
Earnings on BOLI	868		(14)		882		(6,300.0)
Mortgage servicing income	596		633		(37)		(5.8)
Fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights	(44)		325		(369)		(113.5)
Net gain on sale of loans	187		450		(263)		(58.4)
Total noninterest income	$	2,858	$	2,540	$	318	12.5	%

The increase in noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 primarily was due to a $882 thousand increase in earnings on BOLI, reflecting $567 thousand in earnings on death benefits paid under our BOLI policies and an increase in the cash surrender value due to recent price increases in the securities market and a $105 thousand increase in service fees and fee income for the same reasons discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were partially offset by a $369 thousand downward adjustment in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, a $263 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of loans resulting from lower mortgage activity and a $37 thousand decline in mortgage servicing income for the same reasons discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Loans sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $10.3 million, compared to $15.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

47

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $705 thousand, or 10.4%, to $7.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2023		2022
Salaries and benefits	$	4,700	$	3,969	$	731	18.4	%
Operations	1,491		1,436		55		3.8
Regulatory assessments	154		99		55		55.6
Occupancy	435		439		(4)		(0.9)
Data processing	788		849		(61)		(7.2)
Net gain on OREO and repossessed assets	(71)		—		(71)		(100.0)
Total noninterest expense	$	7,497	$	6,792	$	705	10.4	%

The increase in noninterest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022 was mainly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits of $731 thousand, reflecting higher wages, lower deferred compensation and higher medical expense, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation as a result of a lower percentage earned on loans originated, changes to incentive compensation programs, such as the addition of non-production performance requirements, and lower commission expense related to a decline in mortgage originations. Operations expense increased $55 thousand compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 due to increases in various accounts including loan origination costs, legal fees, audit fees, state and local taxes, charitable contributions and office expenses. Regulatory assessments rose due to our increased asset size. These increases were partially offset by decreases in various accounts, including marketing, travel and costs related to our deposit products, specifically debit card processing expenses. Data processing expense decreased as a result of the recovery of expenses written off in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher expenses as a result of increased data processing costs related to contract rate increases. The net gain on OREO relates to the sale of a former OREO property that was charged off during the first quarter of 2023.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 70.49%, compared to 72.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to the increase in noninterest income, largely related to the death benefits paid on BOLI, and net interest income rising at a faster rate than the increase in noninterest expense.

Noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 11.1%, to $15.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2023		2022
Salaries and benefits	$	9,185	$	8,137	$	1,048	12.9	%
Operations	2,933		2,720		213		7.8
Regulatory assessments	307		200		107		53.5
Occupancy	894		872		22		2.5
Data processing	1,780		1,670		110		6.6
Net loss on OREO and repossessed assets	13		—		13		(100.0)
Total noninterest expense	$	15,112	$	13,599	$	1,513	11.1	%

Salaries and benefits increased primarily due to higher wages and incentive compensation, hiring for strategic initiatives, higher medical expenses and lower deferred compensation, partially offset by a decrease in commission expense related to a decline in loan origination activity in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Operations expense increased primarily due to increases in various accounts including legal fees, audit fees, state and local taxes, charitable contributions and office expenses, partially offset by marketing costs and professional fees. Regulatory assessments increased due to our increased asset size. Data processing expense increased due to technology investments and contract rate increases.

Income Tax Expense.  We incurred income tax expense of $577 thousand and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $409 thousand and $867 thousand for the same periods in 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were 16.63% and 18.18%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were 20.22% and 20.63%, respectively.

Capital and Liquidity

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K contains an overview of Sound Financial Bancorp’s and the Bank’s liquidity management, sources of liquidity and cash flows. Although there have been no material changes in our liquidity management, sources of liquidity and cash flows since our 2022 Form 10-K, this discussion updates that disclosure for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Capital. Stockholders’ equity totaled $99.9 million at June 30, 2023 and $97.7 million at December 31, 2022. In addition to net income of $5.1 million, other sources of capital during the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $303 thousand in proceeds from stock option exercises and other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $23 thousand. Uses of capital during the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily included $936 thousand of dividends paid on common stock and $1.2 million of stock repurchases. In addition, stockholders' equity was negatively impacted by the adoption of CECL in the first quarter of 2023, which as of January 1, 2023, resulted in an after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $1.1 million.

We paid regular quarterly dividends of $0.36 per common share during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and regular quarterly dividends of $0.34 per common share and a special dividend of $0.10 per common share during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which equates to a dividend payout ratio of 18.50% in the first half of 2023 and 34.53% in the first half of 2022. The Company expects to continue paying quarterly cash dividends on its common stock, subject to the Board of Directors' discretion to change this practice at any time and for any reason, without prior notice. Assuming continued payment of the regular quarterly cash dividend during the remainder of 2023 at the new rate of $0.19 per share, which the Company announced in April 2023, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $489 thousand based on the number of outstanding shares as of June 30, 2023.

The dividends, if any, we may pay may be limited as more fully discussed under “Business—How We Are Regulated—Limitations on Dividends and Stock Repurchases” contained in Item 1, Part I of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Stock Repurchase Programs. From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs. In general, stock repurchases allow us to proactively manage our capital position and return excess capital to stockholders. Stock repurchases may also offset the dilutive effects of stock compensation awards. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $969 thousand of our common stock remained available for repurchase under our existing stock repurchase program. Purchases under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program may be made through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as any constraints specified in any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1. The repurchase program 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 Company’s stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares. For additional details on our stock repurchase program, see “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” contained in Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity. Liquidity measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet its current financial obligations is a function of its balance sheet structure, its ability to liquidate assets and its access to alternative sources of funds. The objective of our liquidity management is to manage cash flow and liquidity reserves so that they are adequate to fund our operations and to meet obligations and other commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We seek to achieve this objective and ensure that funding needs are met by maintaining an appropriate level of liquid funds through asset/liability management, which includes managing the mix and time to maturity of financial assets and financial liabilities on our balance sheet. Our liquidity position is enhanced by our ability to raise additional funds as needed in the wholesale markets.

Asset liquidity is provided by assets that are readily marketable or pledgeable or that will mature in the near future. Liquid assets generally include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities and cash flow from securities, sales of fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and federal funds sold. Liability liquidity generally is provided by access to funding sources, which include core deposits and advances from the FHLB and other borrowing relationships with third party financial institutions.

Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management process. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding challenges resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into our contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $110.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities, and $1.7 million in loans held-for-sale. At June 30, 2023, we had the ability to borrow $169.3 million in FHLB advances and access to additional borrowings of $18.4 million through the Federal Reserve's discount window, in each case subject to certain collateral requirements. We had $60.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB and none from the Federal Reserve at June 30, 2023. We also had a $20.0 million credit facility with Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank available, with no balance outstanding at June 30, 2023. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible. As of June 30, 2023, management was not aware of any events reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity that would have a material adverse effect on us. For additional details, see “Note 8—Borrowings, FHLB Stock and Subordinated Notes” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

In the ordinary course of business, we have entered into contractual obligations and have made other commitments to make future payments. Refer to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this report for the expected timing of such payments as of June 30, 2023. These include payments related to (i) long-term borrowings (Note 8—Borrowings, FHLB Stock and Subordinated Notes) and (ii) operating leases (Note 11—Leases). See the discussion below for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments generally represent a commitment to extend credit in the form of loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit- and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These commitments are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates each client's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the client.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, financial instrument contract amounts representing credit risk were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Residential mortgage commitments	$	6,502	$	3,184
Unfunded construction commitments	44,437		65,072
Unused lines of credit	27,498		32,793
Irrevocable letters of credit	265		275
Total loan commitments	$	78,702	$	101,324

Sound Financial Bancorp is a separate legal entity from Sound Community Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses (many of which are paid to Sound Community Bank), Sound Financial Bancorp is responsible for paying for any stock repurchases, dividends declared to its stockholders, interest and principal on its outstanding debt, and other general corporate expenses.

Sound Financial Bancorp is a holding company and does not conduct operations; its sources of liquidity are generally dividends up-streamed from Sound Community Bank, interest on investment securities, if any, and borrowings from outside sources. Banking regulations may limit the dividends that may be paid to Sound Financial Bancorp by Sound Community Bank. See “Business — How We Are Regulated — Limitations on Dividends and Stock Repurchases” contained in Item 1, Part I of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. At June 30, 2023 Sound Financial Bancorp, on an unconsolidated basis, had $603 thousand in cash, noninterest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs.

Regulatory Capital

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank per the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (“PCA”). Qualifying institutions that elect to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio, or CBLR, framework, such as the Bank and the Company, that maintain the required minimum leverage ratio will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies' capital rules, and to have met the capital requirements for the well capitalized category under the agencies’ PCA framework. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank and Company’s CBLR was 11.31% and 10.11%, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirement of 9%.

In February 2019, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules and providing an option to phase-in over a three-year period the Day 1 adverse regulatory capital effects of the CECL accounting standard. The capital relief is phased into regulatory capital at 25% per year over a three-year transition period. The final rule was adopted and became effective in September 2020. The Company implemented the CECL model commencing January 1, 2023 and elected to phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over the three-year transition period.

See "Part I, Item 1. Business – Regulation of Sound Community Bank – Capital Rules " in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K for additional information related to regulatory capital.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2022 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), as of June 30, 2023, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and several other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company’s controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company’s business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve this goal, future events affecting our business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 25, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an extension of the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, which was set to expire on July 31, 2023, until January 31, 2024. Under the existing stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $4.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock (of which approximately $974 thousand remained available as of June 30, 2023) from time to time in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC and limitations imposed on repurchases made pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.
