How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Tier 1 leverage ratio 10.53% At September 30, 2026
net interest margin financial
"The net interest margin was 1.88%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
provision for credit losses financial
"a provision for credit losses of $2.0 million"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
non-accrual loans financial
"Non-accrual loans totaled $49.8 million"
A non-accrual loan is a loan a lender has decided is unlikely to produce the scheduled interest payments, so the lender stops counting future interest as income and may record the loan at a reduced value. Think of it like renting out a house where the tenant has stopped paying: you stop counting future rent as earnings because it’s uncertain you’ll get it. For investors, a rise in non-accrual loans signals worsening credit quality, lower reported income and higher potential losses that can weaken a bank’s capital and share price.
Tier 1 leverage ratio regulatory
"Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.53%"
Tier 1 leverage ratio measures a bank’s core capital — the money that can absorb losses — as a share of its total assets, showing how much of its balance sheet is funded by real loss-absorbing capital rather than borrowed money. Investors use it like a safety gauge: a higher ratio means a bigger cushion against shocks and lower risk of insolvency, similar to how a thicker spare tire reduces the chance of being stranded.
brokered certificates of deposit financial
"brokered certificates of deposit at September 30, 2026"
Brokered certificates of deposit are time-deposit savings instruments issued by banks but sold through independent brokerage firms, like buying a fixed-term bond through a shop rather than directly at a bank branch. They matter to investors because they often offer higher interest rates and the ability to buy different bank issuers in one place, but they carry trade-off of reduced liquidity and potential price fluctuations if you sell before maturity; FDIC protection applies up to insured limits per bank.

TFS Financial Reports Record Profit of $100.7 Million in 2026
(Cleveland, OH - October 29, 2026) - TFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TFSL) (the "Company", "we", "our"), the holding company for Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland (the "Association"), announced net income of $100.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $9.7 million, or 10.7%, compared to $91.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $24.7 million compared to $30.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 19.0%.
“This year was another milestone for Third Federal, passing $100 million in net income, driven by continued net margin improvement to 1.88%, and a 39% increase in mortgage loan originations from 2025,” said Chairman and CEO Marc A. Stefanski. “With the significant investment we made in a new core banking system and a strong Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 10.53%, we are well-positioned to continue to grow and effectively serve our customers.”
Fiscal 2026 Results Compared with Fiscal 2025
Net income increased $9.7 million, or 10.7%, to $100.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 compared to net income of $91.0 million for fiscal 2025. The increase reflected $29.1 million of additional net interest income, a $5.0 million favorable change in the provision for credit losses and a $1.2 million increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a $21.1 million increase in non-interest expense.
Net interest income increased $29.1 million, or 9.9%, to $321.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 compared to $292.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Total interest income increased $46.0 million to $809.2 million, driven by a $53.1 million increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by lower income from investment securities, other interest-earning assets and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock. The average balance of loans increased $529.5 million and the yield improved by 18 basis points. Total interest expense increased $17.0 million to $487.5 million. The interest rate spread was 1.57% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 compared to 1.45% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The net interest margin was 1.88% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 and 1.76% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, there was a $2.5 million release of provision for credit losses compared to $2.5 million of provision expense during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Net loan recoveries totaled $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 and $4.0 million for the prior fiscal year.
The total allowance for credit losses decreased $0.5 million to $103.9 million, or 0.63% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2026 from $104.4 million, or 0.67% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily related to reduced reserve requirements for longer term, fixed-rate home equity loans offset by an increase in reserve requirements due to loan growth. The allowance for credit losses included $28.5 million and $30.1 million in liabilities for unfunded commitments at September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
Total loan delinquencies increased $26.0 million to $60.7 million, or 0.37% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2026 from $34.7 million, or 0.22% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025. Delinquencies increased across all loan portfolios, most notably among loans less than 90 days past due, including increases of $8.4 million in residential mortgage loans, $15.1 million in home equity lines of credit and $2.7 million in home equity loans and continue to be monitored by management for any specific trend. Non-accrual loans totaled $49.8 million, or 0.30% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2026, compared to $38.7 million, or 0.25% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025.
Total non-interest income increased $1.2 million, or 4.2%, to $30.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, from $28.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in loan fees and service charges.
Total non-interest expense increased $21.1 million, or 10.3%, to $225.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 from $204.3 million for the fiscal 2025. Salaries and employee benefits rose $11.3 million primarily due to higher staffing levels, increased stock-based compensation expense and a $2.2 million one-time bonus paid to associates in December 2025, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in capitalized payroll costs related to the implementation of a new core banking system. Office property, equipment and software expenses increased $3.2 million due to higher technology costs. Other expenses rose $7.6 million, including a $4.6 million unfavorable change in pension (defined benefit) expense, increases of $1.1 million in postage, $1.0 million in credit report expense and $0.5 million in audit expense. A $0.3 million decrease in federal insurance



premium and assessments partially offset the overall increase in expenses. The change in pension expense reflected $2.5 million of settlement expense recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026; the remainder was attributable to changes in actuarial assumptions. The pension plan was terminated in December 2025 and the remaining obligation is expected to settle during the quarter ending December 31, 2026
Financial Condition at September 30, 2026 vs. September 30, 2025
Total assets increased $735.1 million, or 4.2%, to $18.19 billion at September 30, 2026 from $17.46 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was mainly the result of increases in cash and cash equivalents, FHLB stock and loans held for investment partially offset by decreases in investment securities available for sale and loans held for sale.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $23.7 million, or 5.5%, to $453.1 million at September 30, 2026 from $429.4 million at September 30, 2025, due to normal fluctuations and liquidity management.
Investment securities available for sale decreased $26.0 million, or 5.0%, to $494.6 million at September 30, 2026 from $520.7 million at September 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly due to the combined effect of cash flows from security repayments and maturities.
Loans held for investment, net of allowance and deferred loan expenses, increased $754.6 million, or 4.8%, to $16.42 billion at September 30, 2026 from $15.66 billion at September 30, 2025. Loans held for sale decreased $56.6 million to $1.1 million at September 30, 2026. Home equity loans and lines of credit increased $871.0 million to $5.68 billion and the residential core mortgage loan portfolio decreased $99.1 million to $10.70 billion.
The changes in loans held for sale and loans held for investment were affected by the volume of loans originated, acquired and sold. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, residential mortgage loan originations and acquisitions totaled $1.66 billion compared to $1.19 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Of total residential mortgage loans originated and acquired during the most recent period, 86% were purchase transactions. Commitments originated for home equity loans and lines of credit were $2.31 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 compared to $2.52 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, there were $255.9 million and $411.3 million of loans sold with net gains on the sale of loans totaling $5.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
FHLB stock increased $30.1 million, or 12.8%, to $265.5 million at September 30, 2026 from $235.4 million at September 30, 2025.
Deposits decreased $267.8 million, or 2.6%, to $10.18 billion at September 30, 2026 from $10.45 billion at September 30, 2025. The decrease was the result of decreases of $868.8 million in CDs, $33.9 million in money market deposit accounts, and $3.0 million in checking accounts, partially offset by an increase of $646.3 million in savings accounts. The decrease in total CDs included a $984.2 million decrease in retail CDs, the majority of which moved into savings accounts, offset by a $115.4 million increase in brokered CD accounts. There were $1.02 billion in brokered certificates of deposit at September 30, 2026 compared to $900.9 million at September 30, 2025.
Borrowed funds increased $867.0 million, or 17.8%, to $5.74 billion at September 30, 2026 from $4.87 billion at September 30, 2025. The balance of borrowed funds at September 30, 2026 included $1.33 billion of overnight advances, $1.33 billion of term advances with a weighted average maturity of approximately 1.3 years and $3.03 billion of term advances, aligned with interest rate swap contracts, with a remaining weighted average effective maturity of approximately 2.4 years, all from the FHLB of Cincinnati, and federal funds purchased of $190.0 million.
Total shareholders' equity increased $112.4 million, or 5.9%, to $2.01 billion at September 30, 2026 from $1.89 billion at September 30, 2025. Activity reflects $100.7 million of net income, dividends paid of $62.3 million, $5.5 million in repurchases of the Company's common stock, a $68.3 million net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income and net positive adjustments of $11.2 million related to our stock compensation and employee stock ownership plans. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily due to a net increase in unrealized gains on swap contracts.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, a total of 384,241 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $14.31 per share. The Company's eighth stock repurchase program, authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2016, allows for a total of 10,000,000 shares to be repurchased, with 4,559,845 remaining shares authorized for repurchase at September 30, 2026.
The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.3175 per share during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026 and $0.2825 per share during each of the first three fiscal quarters. As a result of a mutual member vote, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns approximately 81% of the outstanding stock of the Company, was able to waive its receipt of its share of the dividends paid. Under Federal Reserve



regulations, the MHC is required to obtain the approval of its members every 12 months for the MHC to waive its right to receive dividends. As a result of a July 7, 2026 member vote and the subsequent non-objection of the Federal Reserve, the MHC has the approval to waive receipt of up to $1.27 per share of possible dividends to be declared on the Company’s common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members’ approval (i.e., through July 7, 2027). The MHC has conducted the member vote to approve the dividend waiver each of the past 13 years under Federal Reserve regulations and for each of those 13 years, approximately 97% of the votes cast were in favor of the waiver.
The Company operates under the capital requirements for the standardized approach of the Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (“Basel III Rules”). At September 30, 2026 all of the Company's capital ratios exceed the amounts required for the Company to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.53%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios were each 16.64% and its total capital ratio was 17.55%.
Fourth-Quarter Results Compared with the Prior Quarter
Net income decreased $5.8 million, or 19.0%, to $24.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to $30.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, The change reflected higher net interest income offset by an unfavorable change in the provision for credit losses, a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.
Net interest income increased $5.5 million, or 6.8%, to $86.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $81.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to a 17 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets, primarily loans, partially offset by a nine basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread for the quarter improved by eight basis points over the prior quarter to 1.66%, while the net interest margin increased nine basis points to 1.99%.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.0 million compared to a $3.5 million release of provision for the prior quarter. The provision was driven by an increase in reserve requirements related to growth in the residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios. The total allowance for credit losses increased $1.9 million during the quarter to $103.9 million, or 0.63% of total loans receivable, from $102.0 million, or 0.63% of total loans receivable, at June 30, 2026. The total allowance for credit losses included a $28.5 million liability for unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, at both September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026. Net charge-offs were $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to net recoveries of $0.7 million for the previous quarter.
Total loan delinquencies increased $17.2 million to $60.7 million, or 0.37% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2026 from $43.5 million, or 0.27% of total loans receivable, at June 30, 2026.
Total non-interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 16.5%, to $6.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $7.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Changes included an increase of $0.2 million in loan fees and service charges, offset by decreases of $0.8 million from bank owned life insurance contracts, $0.5 million in other non-interest income, primarily related to unrealized losses on interest rate lock commitments treated as derivatives, and a $0.2 million decrease in net gain on the sale of loans.
Total non-interest expense increased $5.6 million, or 10.4%, to $59.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $54.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.2 million primarily because payroll costs for the implementation of the new core banking system were no longer capitalized once the system began operating in July 2026. Other factors included increased federal payroll taxes, retirement plan expense and group health insurance costs. Other operating expenses increased $2.4 million primarily related to pension termination expense, partially offset by decreases in expenses related to down payment assistance.
Financial Condition at September 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2026
Total assets increased $116.4 million to $18.19 billion at September 30, 2026 from $18.08 billion at June 30, 2026, mainly due to increases in loans held for investment partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $115.8 million, or 20.4%, to $453.1 million at September 30, 2026 from $568.9 million at June 30, 2026, due to normal fluctuations and liquidity management.
Loans held for investment, net of allowance and deferred loan expenses, increased $236.3 million, or 1.5%, to $16.42 billion at September 30, 2026. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the combined balances of home equity loans and lines of credit increased $210.5 million to $5.68 billion and residential mortgage loans increased $6.5 million to $10.70 billion. Residential mortgage loan originations and acquisitions were $479.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to $616.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and $427.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Loans held for sale decreased $13.4 million to $1.1 million at September 30, 2026, from $14.5 million at June 30, 2026.
Deposits increased $186.8 million, or 1.9%, to $10.18 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $9.99 billion at June 30, 2026. Certificates of deposit increased $317.3 million primarily reflecting the Company's offering of competitive deposit rates.



Other changes included a $4.1 million decrease in money market deposit accounts, a $7.7 million decrease in checking accounts and a $105.7 million decrease in savings accounts.
Borrowed funds decreased $73.7 million, or 1.3%, to $5.74 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $5.81 billion at June 30, 2026. The decrease reflected a decrease in advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, partially offset by increases in federal funds purchased to maintain daily liquidity.
