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” refer to Sound Financial Bancorp, the Bank and Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc., collectively, 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 adjustments) 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, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025 (“2024 Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other future period.
We have not made any changes in our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public business entities to annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU was released in response to stakeholder feedback indicating that the existing income tax disclosures should be enhanced to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2025 for disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025, with no material impact expected on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Accrued interest receivable on loans receivable totaled $3.7 million at September 30, 2025 and $3.4 million at December 31, 2024, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the ACL.
The ACL is measured using the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) approach for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and for other commitments to extend credit. CECL requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated remaining life of the asset. The forward-looking concept of CECL requires loss estimates to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We estimate the ACL using relevant information from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast. The ACL is measured on a collective (segment) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Historical credit loss experience for both the Company and segment-specific peers provides the basis for the estimate of expected credit losses. Segments are based upon federal call report segmentation. The reserve was applied on a loan-by-loan basis and condensed into the applicable segments reported below. The ACL is determined using quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative analysis utilizes macroeconomic variables to establish a quantitative relationship between economic conditions and loan performance through an economic cycle. Qualitative adjustments include but are not limited to changes in lending policies; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; changes in staff experience levels; changes in the volume or trends of classified loans, delinquencies, and nonaccrual loans; concentration risk; value of underlying collateral; competitive, legal, and regulatory factors; changes in the loan review system; and economic conditions. We evaluate our ACL policy and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. See “Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K for further information on the Company’s ACL accounting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets (such as OREO and repossessed assets), as well as 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 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. When we classify problem assets as a loss, we are 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 FDIC (the Bank’s federal banking regulator) and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions (the Bank’s state banking regulator), which can order the establishment of additional credit loss allowances. Assets which do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess weaknesses are required to be designated as special mention. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty. 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.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing loan receivables with modified terms.
There were no loans modified within the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). 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 legacy TDRs totaled $1.1 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
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 fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost of the loan, no ACL is recorded.

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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were determined based on these requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s 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 (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers
20
Table of Contents
in the specific instruments (Level 2). Level 2 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government securities.
Held-to-maturity securities – The fair value is 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.
Loans held-for-sale - The fair value of fixed-rate one-to-four family loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises.
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 premiums/discounts are part of the valuation for exit pricing.
Mortgage servicing rights –The fair value of MSRs is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs.
Time deposits - The estimated fair value of time deposits is based on the difference between interest rates paid on the Company’s time deposits and current market rates for time deposits with comparable characteristics.
Borrowings - The fair value of borrowings is estimated using the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument discounted 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 borrowing rates for similar long-term debt instruments with similar terms and remaining time to maturity.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for collateral dependent loans, OREO and repossessed assets and off-balance sheet loan commitments 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.
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 of off-balance sheet financial instruments, which consisted entirely of loan commitments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 was not significant at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

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:

| Financial Instrument | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input(s) | Range (Weighted-Average) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mortgage Servicing Rights | Discounted cash flow | Prepayment speed assumption | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Discount rate | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Generally, any significant increases in the prepayment speed assumption and discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the MSRs will result in a negative fair value adjustment (and decrease in the fair value measurement). Conversely, a significant decrease in the prepayment speed assumption 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 assumptions will result in a decrease in the prepayment speed assumption and conversely, a decrease in the weighted average life assumptions will result in an increase in the prepayment speed assumption. 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.
There were no assets or liabilities (excluding MSRs) measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
MSRs are measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis, and a reconciliation of these assets can be found in “Note 6—Mortgage Servicing Rights.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, are based on certain assumptions and are generally identified by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, assumptions and statements about, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance or financial items, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision.

•results of examinations of us by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, require us to increase our allowance for credit losses, write-down asset values or increase our capital levels, or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits;
•the inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;
•our ability to attract and retain deposits;
•competitive pressures among financial services companies;

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 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 September 30, 2025, Sound Financial Bancorp, on a consolidated basis, had total assets of $1.06 billion, net loans held-for-portfolio of $901.2 million, deposits of $898.9 million and stockholders’ equity of $107.5 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, along with borrowed funds, in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one-to-four family residences (including home equity loans and lines of credit), commercial and multifamily real estate loans, construction and land loans, and consumer and commercial business loans. Our commercial business loans include unsecured lines of credit, 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 residential mortgage loan originations, a portion of which we sell to Fannie Mae and other investors and the remainder of which we retain for our loan portfolio consistent with our asset/liability objectives. We sell loans which conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“conforming”) and retain the servicing of the loan in order to maintain the direct customer relationship and to generate noninterest income. Residential loans which do not conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“non-conforming”) are either held in our loan portfolio or sold with servicing released. 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, and 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, other changes in economic conditions and changes in the financial condition and performance of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting estimates include determining the allowance for credit losses and accounting for mortgage servicing rights. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
General. Total assets increased $66.5 million, or 6.7%, to $1.06 billion at September 30, 2025 from $993.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase primarily was a result of increases in cash and cash equivalents and loans held-for-portfolio.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Investment Securities. Cash and cash equivalents increased $57.5 million, or 131.8%, to $101.2 million at September 30, 2025 from $43.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the strategic decision to sell reciprocal deposits at the end of 2024, which temporarily reduced our cash balances. These reciprocal deposits returned to our balance sheet in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, balances of cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of higher overall deposit balances.
Investment securities decreased $384 thousand, or 3.9%, to $9.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2024. Held-to-maturity securities totaled $1.9 million and $2.1 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Available-for-sale securities totaled $7.6 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in held-to-maturity securities was primarily due to principal paydowns. The decrease in available-for-sale securities was primarily due to regularly scheduled payments, partially offset by lower net unrealized losses resulting from an increase in the market value of our portfolio in 2025.
Loans. Loans held-for-portfolio, net increased $9.5 million, or 1.1%, to $901.2 million at September 30, 2025, from $891.7 million at December 31, 2024.
The following table reflects the changes in the mix of our loans held-for-portfolio at September 30, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Amount Change | Percent Change | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Total loans held-for-portfolio, net | $ | 901,151 | $ | 891,672 | $ | 9,479 | 1.1 | % | |||||||||||||||
The increases in the loan held-for-portfolio were driven primarily by a $37.3 million, or 10.0%, increase in commercial and multifamily loans, driven by new originations and the conversion of construction projects to permanent financing, partially offset by pay-downs and normal payment amortization. Home equity loans increased by $3.2 million, or 12.1%, as demand for this product remains high with homeowners utilizing their home equity lines to access liquidity as opposed to paying off their lower rate mortgages. Manufactured home loans and floating home loans increased by $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, or 3.9% and 2.6%, primarily the result of seasonality as it relates to floating homes and affordability of manufactured homes in the current market as well as internal efficiencies in how we process these loans. The growth in these
31
portfolios were partially offset by a $20.3 million, or 27.8%, decline in construction and land loans largely due to project completions and a slowdown in new financing activities amid higher interest rates, as well as the payoff of a $17.0 million loan that had been risk rated as special mention. One-to-four-family loans and commercial business loans declined primarily due to loan repayments exceeding new originations.
At September 30, 2025, our loan portfolio, net of deferred loan fees, remained well-diversified. At that date, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 44.8% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans, accounted for 31.5% of total loans, commercial business loans accounted for 1.6% of total loans, and consumer loans, consisting of manufactured homes, floating homes, and other consumer loans, accounted for 16.3% of total loans. Construction and land loans accounted for 5.8% of total loans at September 30, 2025.
Loans held-for-sale totaled $271 thousand at September 30, 2025, compared to $487 thousand at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to timing of mortgage originations and sales.

Our ACL — loans increased $65 thousand, or 0.8%, to $8.6 million at September 30, 2025, from $8.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in the ACL - loans was primarily a result of an increase in the balance of our loan portfolio, as well as higher reserves on our portfolio of other consumer loans and residential loans due to qualitative adjustments for uncertainty in market conditions and concentrations, partially offset by lower reserves due to qualitative adjustments for improved credit quality. See “Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 — Provision for Credit Losses.”

Nonperforming Assets.
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), which were comprised of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and nonperforming modified loans), other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets, decreased $4.4 million, or 59.1%, to $3.1 million, or 0.29% of total assets, at September 30, 2025 from $7.5 million, or 0.75% of total assets, at December 31, 2024.
The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of NPAs at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):
| Nonperforming Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Amount Change | Percent Change | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Total nonperforming loans | $ | 2,717 | $ | 7,491 | $ | (4,774) | (63.7) | ||||||||||||||||

| Total nonperforming assets | $ | 3,061 | $ | 7,491 | $ | (4,430) | (59.1) | % | |||||||||||||||
The decrease in NPAs from December 31, 2024 was primarily due to payoffs of nonaccrual loans totaling $7.7 million, including one commercial real estate loan, one floating home loan and one mortgage loan, the return of $334 thousand of loans
34
to accrual status, loan charge-offs of $261 thousand, and regular loan payments totaling $269 thousand. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of 15 loans totaling $3.8 million to nonaccrual status and $344 thousand of other real estate owned that was not included in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2024. The percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.30% at September 30, 2025, compared to 0.83% at December 31, 2024.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights decreased $464 thousand, or 9.7%, to $4.3 million at September 30, 2025 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a decline in the size of our mortgage servicing portfolio and an increase in the estimated cost of servicing. 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 $61.1 million, or 7.3%, to $898.9 million at September 30, 2025 from $837.8 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the return of reciprocal deposits that were temporarily moved off-balance sheet at year-end for liquidity and balance sheet management purposes. The reintroduction of these deposits in the first quarter of 2025 contributed significantly to the overall growth. In contrast, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $1.1 million, or 0.9%, to $131.4 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $132.5 million at December 31, 2024. This decline was primarily the result of normal daily fluctuations in customer account balances, reflecting routine activity rather than significant changes in overall deposit levels. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 14.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2025, compared to 15.8% at December 31, 2024.

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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaled $103.9 million and $90.9 million, respectively. Deposit amounts in excess of $250,000 are not federally insured. As of September 30, 2025, uninsured deposits totaled $168.6 million, which represented 18.8% of total deposits, as compared to uninsured deposits of $167.3 million, or 20.0% of total deposits as of December 31, 2024. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements. The increase in the balance of uninsured deposits primarily related to jumbo tier pricing offered on some of our deposit products, as well as normal fluctuations within deposit accounts.
35
Borrowings, comprised of FHLB advances, were $25.0 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. FHLB advances are primarily used to support organic loan growth and to maintain liquidity ratios in line with our asset/liability objectives. FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2025 had maturities ranging from early 2026 through early 2028. Subordinated notes, net totaled $11.8 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $3.8 million, or 3.7%, to $107.5 million at September 30, 2025, from $103.7 million at December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects $4.9 million of net income earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $231 thousand of share-based compensation, an $80 thousand decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and $21 thousand related to the exercise of common stock options. These changes were partially offset by the payment of $1.5 million in cash dividends to stockholders.
Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. Income and yields on tax-exempt obligations have not been computed on a tax equivalent basis. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield for the period they have been on nonaccrual (dollars in thousands).

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).

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
General.
Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024. Net income increased $541 thousand, or 46.9%, to $1.7 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting strong growth in net interest income. The improvement was partially offset by higher provisions for credit losses, a modest decline in noninterest income, and slightly higher income taxes. Noninterest expenses remained relatively flat contributing positively to the overall increase in net income.
YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024. Net income increased $2.2 million, or 80.7%, to $4.9 million, or $1.90 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million, or $1.05 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher net interest income. This was partially offset by modest increases in provisions for credit losses, higher noninterest expenses, and an increase in income taxes, as well as a decrease in noninterest income. Overall, the Company’s strong interest income performance was the primarily factor behind the year-to-date improvement in profitability.

Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024. Total interest income decreased $186 thousand, or 1.3%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a higher average balance of loans and a 19 basis point increase in the average yield on loans, partially offset by lower average balance of cash and cash equivalents and a 105 basis point decline in the average yield on cash and cash equivalents.
38
Interest income on loans increased $636 thousand, or 4.9%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The average yield on total loans rose to 5.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 5.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the origination of new loans at higher interest rates and upward repricing on variable-rate loans. The average balance of total loans was $910.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $898.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest and dividends on investments decreased $8 thousand, or 6.1%, to $124 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $132 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a lower average balance, which totaled $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, resulting from regularly scheduled payments and maturities. Partially offsetting this decrease in balance, the average yield on investments increased to 3.92% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 3.80% for the same period in 2024, due to larger paydowns on lower yielding investments.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $814 thousand, or 44.5%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a lower average balance of and yield on cash and cash equivalents. The average yield on cash and cash equivalents decreased to 4.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of lower market interest rates generally. (Refer to “Net Interest Income” below for additional detail regarding the interest rate environment.) The average balance of cash and cash equivalents was $95.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $138.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a lower average cash balance following the payoff of $15.0 million of FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2024, redeploying cash into higher yielding loans and a decrease in certificate accounts which contributed to the overall lower cash balance.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024. Total interest income increased $635 thousand, or 1.5%, to $43.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to a higher average loan balance and a 33 basis points increase in average yield on loans, as well as a 16 basis points increase in average yield on investments. These increases were partially offset by a lower average balance of cash and cash equivalents, and a 102 basis point decline in average yield on cash and cash equivalents, along with a lower average balance of investments.
Interest income on loans increased $2.4 million, or 6.3%, to $39.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a 33 basis point increase in the average yield on loans. The average yield on total loans was 5.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The average yield on total loans increased primarily due to recognition of interest income from the payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual, variable rate loans adjusting to higher market interest rates, and new loan originations at higher interest rates. The average balance of total loans was $900.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $895.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.7 million, or 35.4% to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a lower average balance of and yield on cash and cash equivalents. The average yield on cash and cash equivalents declined to 4.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of lower market interest rates generally. (Refer to “Net Interest Income” below for additional detail regarding the interest rate environment.) The average balance of cash and cash equivalents was $98.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $122.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a lower average cash balance following the payoff of $15.0 million of FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2024, the redeployment of cash into higher yielding loans and a decrease in certificate accounts which contributed to the overall lower cash balance.

Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024. Total interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 18.0%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates across most interest-bearing liabilities, resulting from lower market interest rates generally, as well as a $222 thousand decrease related to lower average liability balances, particularly in certificate accounts and borrowings.
Interest expense on certificate accounts declined $719 thousand, driven by a $120 thousand volume-related decrease and a $599 thousand rate-related decrease. The average balance of certificate accounts declined to $291.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $303.6 million during the same period in 2024, while the average rate paid decreased to 3.82% from 4.62%. These declines reflect the continued runoff and repricing of higher-rate time deposits originated in prior periods, and our strategy to focus on non-maturity interest-bearing deposits. In addition, interest expense on savings and money market accounts decreased $321 thousand, or 11.94%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $2.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was driven entirely by lower average rate paid on these accounts, which declined 46 basis points to 2.68% from 3.14%. The rate decrease reflects repricing strategies implemented to manage overall funding costs in a stabilizing rate environment, partially offset by higher average balances, which increased to $350.6 million from $340.3 million, reflecting shifts in customer deposit preferences, as well as higher rates offered on some of these products as compared to new certificate accounts. The interest expense on demand and NOW accounts decreased $48 thousand, due to both lower average balances and slightly lower rates.
Interest expense on borrowings, comprised solely of FHLB advances, decreased $165 thousand , primarily due to a $15.0 million decline in average borrowings following the payoff of an FHLB advance during the fourth quarter of 2024. The average balance of FHLB advances was $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $40.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased five basis points to 4.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.32% for the same quarter in 2024. Interest expense on subordinated notes was $168 thousand for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024, with no material changes in the average balance or rate paid. On October 1, 2025, we redeemed $4.0 million of the $12.0 million of our outstanding subordinated notes.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024. Total interest expense decreased $2.8 million, or 14.3%, to $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Interest expense on deposits decreased $2.4 million, or 13.0%, to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower average rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits, as well as a lower average balance of demand and NOW accounts, and certificate accounts, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of savings and money market accounts. The average cost of total deposits decreased 32 basis points to 2.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 2.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest expense on borrowings, comprised solely of FHLB advances, was $798 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting the decreased use of FHLB advances to supplement our liquidity needs. The average cost of FHLB advances decreased five basis points to 4.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.32% for the same period in 2024. The average cost of FHLB advances declined due to same reason noted above in the quarterly comparison. The average balance of FHLB advances was $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $40.0 million for the nine months ended
40
September 30, 2024, due to the payoff of an FHLB advance during the fourth quarter of 2024. Interest expense on subordinated notes was $504 thousand for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and nine months ended September 30, 2024. On October 1, 2025, we redeemed $4.0 million of the $12.0 million of our outstanding subordinated notes.
Net Interest Income.
Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024. Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 13.6%, to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was mainly the result of decreased funding costs, primarily from lower average rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing deposits and a lower average balance of borrowings, as well as higher average yields on interest-earning assets due to the recognition of interest income from the payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual, variable rate loans adjusting to higher market interest rates and new loan originations at higher interest rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Overall, the decline in average funding costs and increase in average yield on loans primarily contributed to a 57 basis point improvement in the net interest rate spread and a 50 basis point increase in the annualized net interest margin, which rose to 3.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2.98% for the same period in 2024.
YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024. Net interest income increased $3.5 million, or 15.3%, to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest margin (annualized) was 3.48% and 2.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin primarily were due to the lower average cost of funding and the increase in average loan yields, as described above in the quarterly comparison.
Through most of 2024, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve (“FOMC”) maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 5.25% to 5.50%, where it remained until September 18, 2024. In light of continued progress on reducing inflation and after considering the balance of risks to the economy, the FOMC lowered the target range 100 basis points to 4.25% to 4.50% between September 2024 and December 2024. The target rate range remained at this level until September 2025, when the FOMC implemented an additional 25 basis point reduction, lowering the target range to 4.00% to 4.25%. The lower interest rate environment has contributed to decreased funding costs, while loan yields have remained elevated due to repricing of variable-rate loans and higher rates on new loan originations.
Provision for Credit Losses.
The following table reflects the components of the provision for (release of) credit losses during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Provision for (release of) credit losses on loans | $ | 65 | $ | 106 | $ | 144 | $ | (88) | |||||||||||||||

| Provision for (release of) credit losses | $ | 55 | $ | 8 | $ | 22 | $ | (134) | |||||||||||||||
A provision for credit losses of $55 thousand was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $8 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The larger provision in the current quarter, primarily reflects the significant release of unfunded commitment reserves in the third quarter of 2024. That release was largely driven by both a reduction in unfunded balances as projects were completed and improvements in qualitative factors within the construction loan segment due to improved economic conditions. The provision for credit losses on loans in the current quarter was lower relative to the third quarter of 2024 due to lower loan portfolio growth during the current quarter as compared to the same quarter one year ago and a lower loss reserve rate, which was partially influenced by improving credit quality. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $37 thousand, compared to $14 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2024.
A provision for credit losses of $22 thousand was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a release of credit losses of $134 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for credit losses during the current year period was due primarily to a larger overall loan portfolio, largely contributing to the need for a provision in the current year period, as compared to a decline in loan growth in the prior year period. Qualitative adjustments remained largely consistent throughout 2025, with the exception of new adjustments for increased uncertainty about economic conditions and a decline in commercial real estate values. During the prior year period, the release of credit losses on loans primarily related to lower reserves on our other consumer loan portfolio and residential loan portfolios due to qualitative adjustments for changes in concentration, the value of underlying collateral, and market conditions, partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio, an increase in nonaccrual loans, the weighted average life of the portfolio, and enhancements to the loss model, including an
41
additional qualitative adjustment related to loan review. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $79 thousand, compared to $87 thousand for nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Expected credit loss estimates are based on a range of factors, including market conditions, borrower-specific information, projected delinquencies, and anticipated effects of economic trends on borrowers’ ability to repay.
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, 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. Total noninterest income decreased $354 thousand, or 28.7%, to $881 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Amount Change | Percent Change | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Total noninterest income | $ | 881 | $ | 1,235 | $ | (354) | (28.7) | % | |||||||||||||||
The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to:
•a $473 thousand decline in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights due to an overall smaller servicing portfolio, as well as a lower market valuation due to a change in one of our assumptions which assumed higher costs to service loans than previously estimated; and
•an $18 thousand decrease in mortgage servicing income as a result of the portfolio paying down at a faster rate than originations replaced repayments;
These decreases were partially offset by:
•a $44 thousand increase in service charges and fee income, primarily due to higher interchange income in the current quarter;
•a $39 thousand increase in earnings on BOLI, primarily due to the strategic surrender and exchange of existing policies into higher yielding policies in the first quarter of 2025, with the benefit of improved yields continuing to the third quarter.
•a $54 thousand increase in net gain on sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold.
42
Total noninterest income decreased $396 thousand, or 11.3%, to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

| Total noninterest income | $ | 3,098 | $ | 3,494 | $ | (396) | (11.3) | % | |||||||||||||||
The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to:
•a $470 thousand decrease in fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights, for the same reasons noted above in the quarterly comparison;
•a $47 thousand decrease in mortgage servicing income as a result of the portfolio paying down at a faster rate than originations replaced repayments;
•a $30 thousand decrease in other income due to a prior year gain on disposal of assets due to insurance claims on the loss of fully depreciated assets and no comparable gain in the current period; and
•a $18 thousand decrease in net gain on sale of loans due to fewer loans sold.
These decreases were partially offset by;
•a $150 thousand increase in earnings on BOLI, primarily due to the strategic surrender and exchange of existing policies into higher-yielding policies in 2025, as well as changes due to market fluctuations; and
•a $19 thousand increase in service charges and fee income, reflecting higher fees from new client acquisitions in specialty banking deposit accounts, increased interchange income, and a Mastercard volume incentive received in the first quarter of 202, partially offset by a second-quarter 2024 recovery of potential lost fee income related to a vendor error.
Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense remained relatively unchanged during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared the three months ended September 30, 2024, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Amount Change | Percent Change | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Total noninterest expense | $ | 7,676 | $ | 7,679 | $ | (3) | — | % | |||||||||||||||
While overall noninterest expense remained flat, there were fluctuations within certain expense categories, as noted below:
•a $210 thousand decrease in salaries and benefits related to higher deferred salaries resulting from higher loan originations in the current quarter than in the same quarter one year ago; and
•a $57 thousand decrease in operations expense, primarily due to lower expenses across various accounts, resulting from ongoing cost-saving initiatives and process improvements, as well as the impact of timing of expenses, including marketing campaigns and charitable contributions.
These decreases were partially offset by:
43
•a $207 thousand increase in data processing expenses, reflecting the amortization of projects implemented at the end of the third quarter of 2024, as well as the deployment of new software technology in 2025 that continues to streamline operations and processes;
•a $32 thousand increase in regulatory assessments, due to higher accruals in the current year based on an increase in estimated exam costs; and
•a $17 thousand increase in occupancy expense, due to higher building lease charges in 2025 resulting from lease renewals and maintenance charges.
The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was 78.16%, compared to 84.31% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to higher net interest income resulting from lower funding costs.
Total noninterest expense increased $179 thousand, or 0.8%, to $23.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $23.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to:
•an $826 thousand increase in data processing expenses, due to the reasons stated above in the quarterly comparison, as well as new software technology being deployed in 2025 that continues to streamline our operations;
•a $65 thousand increase in regulatory assessments, due to higher accruals in the current year based on an increase in estimated exam costs;
•a $29 thousand increase in occupancy expense due to same reason noted above in the quarterly comparison; and
•a $29 thousand increase in OREO and repossessed assets related-expense, due to the addition of new properties in 2025 and the absence of property sales in the current year.
These increases were partially offset by:
•a $495 thousand decrease in salaries and benefits related to lower incentive compensation expense as a result of changes to the calculation of incentive compensation; and
•a $275 thousand decrease in operations expense, primarily due to lower expenses across various accounts resulting from ongoing cost saving initiatives and process improvements.
Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $395 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $267 thousand and $617 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 18.90% and 19.30%, compared to 18.79% and 18.50% for the same periods in 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to taxable earnings on BOLI in 2025, resulting from the surrender and exchange of existing BOLI policies in-to higher yielding policies.
On July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Except for certain provisions, the OBBBA is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and permanently extends key business tax breaks originally enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company evaluated the potential impact of this legislation on its income tax provision and determined that the impact was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Capital and Liquidity
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s 2024 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 2024 Form 10-K, this discussion updates that disclosure for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Capital. Stockholders’ equity totaled $107.5 million at September 30, 2025 and $103.7 million at December 31, 2024. In addition to net income of $4.9 million, other sources of capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily included $231 thousand related to stock-based compensation, $80 thousand of other comprehensive income, net of tax, primarily resulting from lower unrealized losses on available for sale securities, and $21 thousand in proceeds from stock option exercises. Uses of capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily included $1.5 million of dividends paid on common stock.
We paid cash dividends of $0.57 per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, which equates to a dividend payout ratio of 29.75% and 53.66%, respectively. 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 2025 at the rate of $0.19 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $488 thousand based on the number of outstanding shares as of September 30, 2025.
The dividends, if any, we 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 2024 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. In January 2024, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $1.5 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock over a period of 12 months, which expired on January 26, 2025 and was not renewed. For additional details on our stock repurchase activity, 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. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, accommodate possible outflows in deposits and take advantage of potential opportunities presented by changes in market interest rates. 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 flows 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 our 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 asset sources generally include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities and cash flows 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.
We continuously monitor our liquidity position and adjust the balance between sources and uses of funds as we deem appropriate. Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management process. We regularly model 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.
45
As of September 30, 2025, we had $108.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities, and $271 thousand in loans held-for-sale. At September 30, 2025, we had the ability to borrow $158.9 million in FHLB advances and access to additional borrowings of $19.5 million through the Federal Reserve's discount window, in each case subject to certain collateral requirements. We had $25.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB and none from the Federal Reserve at September 30, 2025. We also had a $20.0 million credit facility with Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank available, with no balance outstanding, at September 30, 2025. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, to repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible. As of September 30, 2025, 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 enter into contractual obligations and 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 September 30, 2025. These include payments related to (i) long-term borrowings (Note 8—Borrowings, FHLB Stock and Subordinated Notes) and (ii) operating leases (Note 10—Leases). See the discussion below for information regarding 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 commitments 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 by the client. 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, financial instrument contractual amounts representing credit risk were as follows (in thousands):

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 2024 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2025, Sound Financial Bancorp, on an unconsolidated basis, had $6.3 million in cash, noninterest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company utilized $4.0 million to partially redeem its outstanding subordinated notes. See “Note 8 — Borrowings” for additional detail.
See also the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” included in “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-Q, for further information.

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 September 30, 2025, the Bank’s and the Company’s CBLRs were 10.71% and 10.14%, 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 2024 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 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2024 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 “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, 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 Exchange 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 our 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 acts of individuals, 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 Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
