The Company reported net income of $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income of $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The improvement was due to a combination of an increase in net interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses and a decrease in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income. The Company reported net income of $43.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income of $37.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, with similar individual variances between the two periods. In addition, the current six month period had the benefit of a lower effective rate used to calculate income tax expense in accordance with recently adopted accounting guidance related to stock based compensation.

“We’re pleased to announce our strongest quarterly earnings in a decade,” said Marc A. Stefanski, chairman and CEO. “Once again, loan growth remained strong for the period, fueled by a home purchase market that continues to heat up in many of our markets. Consumer confidence is rising, which allows us to continue to be optimistic about the housing industry. We are excited by the early signs of a seasonal purchase market in 2017.”

Net interest income in the current year quarter was higher than the prior year quarter, as the increase in interest income in the current period was more than the increase in interest expense. Interest income was higher as the $820.7 million increase in the three-month average balance of interest-earning assets, mainly loans, more than offset the lower weighted average yield earned on those assets. The average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was lower in the current year, mainly from an increase in the balance of short-term borrowings, but that benefit was more than offset by the increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $67.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net interest income was $138.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and $135.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The interest rate spread was 2.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The interest rate spread for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was 2.05%, compared to 2.11% for the prior year. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 2.18%, compared to 2.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net interest margin for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was 2.17%, as compared to 2.25% for the six months ended March 31, 2016.

A negative provision for loan losses of $6.0 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a negative provision of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $6.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a negative provision of $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The provision recapture for the quarter was a result of a combination of favorable trends including lower gross loan charge-offs, higher loan recoveries and continued decreasing delinquencies. Gross loan charge-offs were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. while loan recoveries were $4.6 million in the current quarter and $3.7 million in the prior year quarter. As a result of loan recoveries exceeding charge-offs, the Company reported net loan recoveries of $2.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months and six months, respectively, ended March 31, 2017, compared to $0.1 million of net loan recoveries and $1.2 million of net loan charge-offs for the three months and six months, respectively, ended March 31, 2016. Of the $1.0 million of net loan recoveries in the current fiscal year, $0.9 million of net recoveries occurred in the residential core portfolio (first mortgage loans other than the Home Today portfolio), $0.7 million of net recoveries occurred in the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio and $0.6 million of net charge-offs occurred in the Home Today portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was $56.8 million, or 0.47% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2017, compared to $61.8 million, or 0.52% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2016. The Home Today portfolio, which essentially has been in run-off status since 2009, totaled $114.7 million at March 31, 2017 and $121.9 million at September 30, 2016.

Non-accrual loans decreased $6.4 million to $83.6 million, or 0.68% of total loans, at March 31, 2017 from $90.0 million, or 0.76% of total loans, at September 30, 2016. The $6.4 million decrease in non-accrual loans for the six months ended March 31, 2017 consisted of an $4.4 million decrease in the residential core portfolio; a $2.3 million decrease in the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio and a $0.4 million increase in the Home Today portfolio.

Total loan delinquencies decreased $8.8 million to $43.2 million, or 0.35% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2017 from $52.0 million, or 0.44% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2016. The real estate owned portfolio decreased $1.2 million, or 17.6%, to $5.6 million at March 31, 2017 from $6.8 million at September 30, 2016.

Total troubled debt restructurings decreased $3.6 million, to $167.0 million at March 31, 2017, from $170.6 million at September 30, 2016. Of the $167.0 million of troubled debt restructurings recorded at March 31, 2017, $90.4 million was in the residential core portfolio, $30.4 million was in the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio and $46.2 million was in the Home Today portfolio. The portion of total troubled debt restructurings included as part of non-accrual loans was $62.2 million at March 31, 2017 and $63.7 million at September 30, 2016.

Total non-interest income decreased $2.9 million, to $9.9 million, for the six months ended March 31, 2017, from $12.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, with a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and a decrease in death benefits from life insurance contracts being the primary reasons.

Total non-interest expenses decreased $1.0 million to $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, with decreases in real estate owned expenses and salaries and benefits representing the major reductions. Total non-interest expenses decreased $3.4 million to $90.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $94.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, with similar individual variances between the two periods. Lower levels of real estate owned assets and improved execution on the disposition of those assets helped contribute to the lower overall expenses.

Total income tax expense increased by $1.7 million, to $20.8 million, for the six months ended March 31, 2017, from $19.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, but the effective tax rate decreased to 32.6% from 34.0% as a result of recognizing $1.0 million of excess tax benefits in the current year period related to stock-based compensation. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under this standard, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recognized in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recognized will vary based on a number of factors including the number of shares vesting or options exercised in the current period and the difference in stock price between grant date and exercise or vest date. Previously the amounts were recognized as part of paid-in capital in shareholders' equity.

Total assets increased by $500.1 million, or 4%, to $13.41 billion at March 31, 2017 from $12.91 billion at September 30, 2016. This change was mainly the result of new loan origination levels exceeding the total of loan sales and principal repayments, combined with a net increase in the combination of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities.

The combination of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities increased $27.8 million, or 4%, to $776.9 million at March 31, 2017 from $749.1 million at September 30, 2016.

The combination of loans held for investment, net and mortgage loans held for sale increased $457.6 million, or 4%, to $12.17 billion at March 31, 2017 from $11.71 billion at September 30, 2016. Residential core mortgage loans, including those held for sale, increased $476.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2017, while the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio decreased $26.8 million. Total first mortgage loan originations were $1.49 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2017, of which 51% were adjustable rate mortgages and 20% were fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 10 years or less. During the six months ended March 31, 2017, $146.1 million of fixed rate loans were sold resulting in a net gain of $1.2 million. Interest rate movements during the current fiscal year contributed to the lower percentage gains recognized than the previous fiscal year. During the six months ended March 31, 2016, $93.0 million of fixed rate loans were sold resulting in a net gain of $2.7 million.

Deposits decreased $143.4 million, or 2%, to $8.19 billion at March 31, 2017 from $8.33 billion at September 30, 2016. The decrease in deposits was the result of a $199.7 million decrease in our certificates of deposit ("CDs"), partially offset by a $26.2 million increase in our savings accounts and a $30.3 million increase in our checking accounts for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Total deposits include $539.7 million and $539.8 million of brokered CDs at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Borrowed funds, all from the FHLB, increased $647.4 million, to $3.37 billion at March 31, 2017 from $2.72 billion at September 30, 2016, as a combination of loan growth, share repurchases and deposit withdrawals led to increased funding demands. This increase reflects a combination of an additional $375.0 million of five-year term advances and $322.0 million of overnight advances, partially offset by other principal repayments. The new five-year term advances are actually 90 day advances that have an effective duration at inception of five years as a result of interest rate swap contracts. The total balance of borrowed funds of $3.37 billion at March 31, 2017 consisted of overnight advances of $1.17 billion, term advances of $1.22 billion with a remaining weighted average maturity of approximately 1.9 years and term advances of $975 million aligned with interest rate swap contracts with a remaining weighted average effective maturity of approximately 4.5 years. The amount of FHLB stock owned at March 31, 2017 increased $13.0 million from September 30, 2016 to satisfy common stock ownership requirements related to the increase in the balance of FHLB advances,

Total shareholders' equity increased $17.9 million to $1.68 billion at March 31, 2017 from $1.66 billion at September 30, 2016. Activity reflects $43.1 million of net income in the current fiscal year, reduced by $24.0 million of repurchases of outstanding common stock and two quarterly dividends totaling $12.9 million, and further impacted by a combination of adjustments related to our stock compensation plan, Employee Stock Ownership Plan and accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, a total of 461,210 shares of our common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $16.99 per share. A total of 1,357,210 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $17.65 per share during the six months ended March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, there were 9,542,290 shares remaining to be purchased under the Company's eighth repurchase program. The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share during each of the first two fiscal quarters. As a result of a mutual member vote, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns approximately 80% of the outstanding stock of the Company, was able to waive its receipt of its share of each dividend paid. Under current Federal Reserve regulations, the MHC is required to obtain the approval of its members every 12 months for the MHC to waive its right to receive dividends. As a result of a July 26, 2016 member vote and the subsequent non-objection of the Federal Reserve, the MHC has the approval to waive the receipt of up to a total of $0.125 per share of future possible dividends to be declared on the Company’s common stock during the quarter ending June 30, 2017.

The Association operates under the new capital requirements for the standardized approach of the Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (“Basel III Rules”), subject to transitional provisions extending through the end of 2018. The Basel III Rules include a new Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio, with a fully phased-in required minimum Common Equity Tier 1 and Capital Conservation Buffer at 7.00%. At March 31, 2017 all of the Association's capital ratios substantially exceed the amounts required for the Association to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes. The Association’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.19%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios, as calculated under the fully phased-in Basel III Rules, were each 20.36% and its total capital ratio was 21.16%. Additionally, the Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.81%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios were each 23.26% and its total capital ratio was 24.05%.

Presentation slides as of March 31, 2017 will be available on the Company's website, www.thirdfederal.com, under the Investor Relations link, beginning May 1, 2017. As was the case last quarter, the Company will not be hosting a conference call to discuss its operating results.
