MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
In the normal course of business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the industry in which we conduct business. Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipated,” “believe,” ”expect,” ”intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.
Although we believe that the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that those results or expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are beyond our control), and as a result actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein:
•
our investments in our businesses and in related technology could require additional incremental spending, and might not produce expected deposit and loan growth and anticipated contributions to our earnings;
•
general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services;
•
the effects and extent of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the global economy, and its impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including the granting of various loan payment deferral and fee waivers, the possibility of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses as well as possible impairments on the securities we hold;
•
changes in the interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses;
•
the conditions of the securities markets could change, which could adversely affect, among other things, the value or credit quality of our assets, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet our liquidity needs and our ability to originate loans and leases;
•
changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries could alter our business environment or affect our operations;
•
the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending;
•
competitive pressures could intensify and affect our profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments such as the internet or bank regulatory reform; and
•
acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments as a result of such acts or threats, including possible military action, could further adversely affect business and economic conditions in the United States generally and in our principal markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance and that of our borrowers and on the financial markets and the price of our common stock.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new or future events except to the extent required by federal securities laws.
GENERAL
WVS Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is the parent holding company of West View Savings Bank (“West View” or the “Savings Bank”). The Company was organized in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank holding company and acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in November 1993.
West View Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, FDIC-insured stock savings bank conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh. The Savings Bank converted from the mutual to the stock form of ownership in November 1993. The Savings Bank had no subsidiaries at September 30, 2021.
The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is determined by the difference between income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net income is also affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses, such as compensation and employee benefits, income taxes, deposit insurance and occupancy costs.
Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our employees and clients to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The persistance of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and increased unemployment levels. While the full effects of the pandemic remain unknown, the Company is committed to supporting its customers, employees and communities during this difficult time. The Company has given hardship relief assistance to customers, including the consideration of various loan payment deferral and fee waiver options, and encourages customers to reach out for assistance to support their individual circumstances. The pandemic could result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses were to close once again, the impact on the global economy worsens, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize impairments on the securities we hold. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
The Company has responded to the circumstances surrounding the pandemic to support the safety and well-being of the employees, customers and shareholders by enacting the following measures:
•
Modified branch business hours Monday through Thursday to close at 4:00 pm (no change), Friday close at 4:00 pm (as opposed to 6:00 pm and Saturday close at 12:00 pm (no change).
•
Monitor federal, state and local COVID-19 websites and adopt guidance as appropriate and feasible.
•
Encourage customers to use our various on-line portals (e.g. internet banking, online bill pay service), automated teller machines and night depositories to redirect routine transactions away from our branch staff as much as possible.
•
Non-branch banking services (e.g. lending, accounting, check and electronic processing) continue to be offered consistent with COVID-19 guidelines.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company’s assets totaled $351.5 million at September 30, 2021, as compared to $346.1 million at June 30, 2021. The $5.4 million, or 1.6%, increase in total assets was primarily due to a $17.5 million increase in mortgage-backed securities and a $616 thousand increase in net loans receivable, which were partially offset by a $8.1 million decrease in available-for-sale investment securities and $5.0 million decrease in held-to-maturity investment securities. The decrease in investment securities available-for-sale was primarily the result of maturities and early issuer redemptions of $12.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, partially offset by purchases of investment securities totaling $11.3 million. The increase in mortgage-backed securities was due primarily from purchases of $20.8 million, partially offset by repayments of $8.2 million.
The Company’s total liabilities increased $5.4 million, or 1.7%, to $313.0 million as of September 30, 2021 from $307.7 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $2.5 million, or 2.2%, increase in FHLB short-term advances and a $4.9 million increase in other liabilities, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in total deposits. Additionally, other liabilities increased $4.7 million to $7.0 million at September 30, 2021 from $2.3 million at June 30, 2021, primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in unfunded security commitments. The decrease in total deposits was primarily attributable to decreases in non-interest bearing accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $1.5 million, $871 thousand, $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in money market accounts of $219 thousand and certificates of deposit of $2.6 million. Management believes that the increase in certificates of deposit was primarily the result of a $3.3 million increase in brokered deposits which more than offset a $682 thousand decrease in retail time deposits. A significant portion of retail time deposits were transferred into savings accounts. The increase FHLB short-term borrowings and brokered deposits primarily funded purchases of mortgage-backed securities and available-for-sale investment securities. See also Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk “Asset and Liability Management”.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $32 thousand, or 0.1%, to $38.4 million as of September 30, 2021, from $38.4 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income of $271 thousand and $34 thousand attributable to amortization of unallocated ESOP shares, which were partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $107 thousand and cash dividends paid totaling $174 thousand. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily the result of an increase in the unrealized loss on the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. WVS reported net income of $271 thousand or $0.16 earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $420 thousand or $0.24 per share (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2020. The $149 thousand decrease in net income for the for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a $196 thousand decrease in net interest income and a $52 thousand increase in non-interest expense, which were partially offset by a $56 thousand decrease in income tax expense, a $27 thousand increase in non-interest income and a $16 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses.
Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income decreased by $196 thousand or 14.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to a $346 thousand decrease in interest and dividend income, which was partially offset by a $150 thousand decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest and dividend income during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to lower yields earned on the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB stock and net loans, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to lower market interest rates paid on FHLB advances and time deposits as well as a slightly higher level of average time deposits and FHLB short term borrowings, when compared to the same period in 2020.
Interest Income. Interest income on net loans receivable decreased $167 thousand or 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a 24 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield and a $12.8 million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding was primarily attributable to decreased loan originations and purchases.
Table of Contents
Interest income on investment securities decreased $79 thousand or 18.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a 29 basis point decrease in the weighted-average yield on the available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by a $12.8 million increase in the average balance of these investment securities when compared to the same period in 2020.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $68 thousand or 25.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a 28 basis point decrease in the weighted-average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities and a $1.5 million decrease in the average balance of these U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the average balances of U.S. Government agency and Private-Label mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to principal pay-downs of $8.2 million on U.S. Government agency and Private-Label mortgage-backed securities, when compared to the same period in 2020. The $8.2 million in principal paydowns was used in part to reduce the level of FHLB short-term advances.
Interest income on bank certificates of deposit decreased $4 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to a decrease of $1.2 million in the average balance of certificates of deposit, partially offset by an increase of 77 basis points in the average yield earned.
Dividend income on FHLB stock decreased $28 thousand or 31.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a 77 basis point decrease in the weighted-average yield earned as well as a $1.3 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB stock held.
Interest Expense. Interest paid on FHLB short-term advances increased $12 thousand or 35.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a $35.7 million increase in the average balance of FHLB short-term advances outstanding, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on FHLB short-term balances outstanding. The decrease in rates paid on FHLB short-term borrowings were consistent with decreases in short-term market interest rates.
Interest paid on FHLB long-term variable rate advances decreased $36 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a $60.0 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB long-term variable rate advances and an 18 basis point decrease in the weighted-average rate paid in FHLB long-term variable rate advances.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $67 thousand or 64.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in interest expense on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a 61 basis point decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on time deposits and was partially offset by an increase of $17.9 million in the average balance of time deposits when compared the same period in the prior year.
Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings (while credit provision for loan losses are accretive to earnings) to maintain the total allowance at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors.
Provision for loan losses decreased $14 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to decreased reserve factors related to the economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $22 thousand which were partially offset by increases related to increased net loans outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2020. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses amounted to $551 thousand or 0.68% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, as compared to $565 thousand and 0.70% at June 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had no non-performing loans.

Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-interest income increased $27 thousand compared to the same period in 2020. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the increase was attributable to a $10 thousand increase in gains on investments, a $13 thousand decrease in other than temporary security impairment losses, a $2 thousand increase in miscellaneous operating income, a $1 thousand increase in service charges on deposits, and a $1 thousand increase in automated teller machine and debit card fee income.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $52 thousand or 5.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $36 thousand increase in employee compensation and benefits expenses, a $24 thousand increase in the provision for off-balance sheet commitments (primarily unfunded loan commitments), and $3 thousand in data processing expenses, which were partially offset by a $5 thousand decrease in stationary, printing and office supplies, $4 thousand decrease in the federal deposit insurance premium and a $2 thousand decrease in postage expense, when compared to the same period of 2020.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $56 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to lower levels of taxable income, when compared to the same period in 2020.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $59 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to $271 thousand of Company net income, $304 thousand of amortization of discounts, premiums and deferred loan fees, which were partially offset by $231 thousand decrease in accrued interest receivable and a $394 decrease in other, net.
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $630 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Primary sources of funds from investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2021 included proceeds from repayments of investment securities of $12.8 million, proceeds from early issuer redemptions of investment securities of $6.1 million, $8.2 million of repayments of mortgage-backed securities, $5.0 million of proceeds from repayments of held-to-maturity investment securities and a decrease in loans receivable of $614 thousand. Primary uses of funds for investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2021 included purchases of investment securities available-for-sale totaling $11.3 million and purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaling $20.8 million.
Funds provided by financing activities totaled $448 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Primary uses of funds by financing activities were decreases in transaction accounts of $3.2 million, decreases in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $1.2 million and $174 thousand of cash dividends paid. Primary sources of funds from financing activities were increases in certificates of deposits and FHLB short-term advances of $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
The decreases in transaction accounts and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance were primarily attributable to seasonal withdrawals for the payment of local real estate taxes. The increase in certificates of deposit at September 30, 2021 was due principally to a $3.3 million increase in brokered deposits. Management has determined that it currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding sources with lending and investment opportunities.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, repayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through FHLB advances and other borrowings. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2021 totaled $28.4 million.
Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of investment securities. At September 30, 2021, total approved loan commitments outstanding were $722 thousand. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $5.3 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $2.6 million. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through FHLB advances, and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. The Company’s available-for-sale segment of the investment portfolio totaled $143.5 million at September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company had $350 thousand of certificates of deposit at September 30, 2021. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.

On October 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, on the Common Stock payable on November 18, 2021, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2021. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company’s financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will in fact be paid on the Common Stock in future periods or that, if paid, such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated.
As of September 30, 2021, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Common Equity Tier I Capital, Tier I, and total risk-based capital equal to $38.0 million or 19.41%, $38.0 million or 19.41%, and $38.6 million or 19.70%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $38.0 million or 10.95% of average quarterly assets.
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be accrued if management believes that it will collect on the loan.
The Company had no non-performing assets at September 30, 2021 and on September 30, 2020.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in US dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Savings Bank has no agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a specific exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be exogenous and will be analyzed on an ex post basis.
Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is the exposure of a banking organization’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value, however excessive levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.
Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control IRR and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the IRR management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where appropriate, asset quality.
Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing rate environment.
During the fiscal years 2013-2021 and into fiscal year 2022, short intermediate and long-term market interest rates fluctuated considerably. Many central banks, including the Federal Reserve, continued above normal levels of monetary accommodation including quantitative easing and targeted asset purchase programs. The desired outcomes of these programs are to stimulate aggregate demand, reduce high levels of unemployment and to further lower market interest rates.
The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution’s assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the “interest rate sensitivity” of the assets and liabilities and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap”. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within a given time period. A gap is considered positive (negative) when the amount of rate sensitive assets (liabilities) exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities (assets). During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.
Table of Contents
As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company maintained an asset sensitive financial position due to unusually low market interest rates. An asset sensitive financial position may benefit earnings during a period of rising interest rates and reduce earnings during a period of declining interest rates.
The following table sets forth certain information at the dates indicated relating to the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within one year.

The Company utilizes an income simulation model to measure interest rate risk and to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company believes that income simulation modeling may enable the Company to better estimate the possible effects on net interest income due to changing market interest rates. Other key model parameters include: estimated prepayment rates on the Company’s loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios; savings decay rate assumptions; and the repayment terms and embedded options of the Company’s borrowings.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 100 and 200 basis point upward or downward (parallel) shift in market interest rates on net interest income, return on average equity, return on average assets and the market value of portfolio equity at September 30, 2021. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning assets will average approximately $344 million and $345 million over a projected twelve and twenty-four month period, respectively, for the estimated impact on change in net interest income, return on average equity and return on average assets. The estimated changes in market value of equity were calculated using balance sheet levels at September 30, 2021. Actual future results could differ materially from our estimates primarily due to unknown future interest rate changes and the level of prepayments on our investment and loan portfolios and future FDIC regular and special assessments.

In the ordinary course of its construction lending business, the Savings Bank enters into performance standby letters of credit. Typically, the standby letters of credit are issued on behalf of a builder to a third party to ensure the timely completion of a certain aspect of a construction project or land development. At September 30, 2021, the Savings Bank had no performance standby letters of credit outstanding. In the event that an obligor is unable to perform its obligations as specified in the applicable letter of credit agreement, the Savings Bank would be obligated to disburse funds up to the amount specified in the letter of credit agreement. The Savings Bank’s policy is to maintain adequate collateral that could be liquidated to fund such contingent obligations.
