NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Commercial and Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and CSB Investment Services, LLC (together referred to as the “Company” or “CSB”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2023, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted. The Annual Report for CSB for the year ended December 31, 2022, contains Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future interim period.

Certain items in the prior-year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - LOANS AND LEASES POLICY

In connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we made changes to our loan portfolio segments to align with the methodology applied in determining the allowance under CECL. Refer to Note 3 Loans, for further discussion of these portfolio segments. In addition to our existing segments, our new segmentation breaks out commercial lessors of buildings, and consumer indirect loans as well as separating consumer mortgage loans from home equity line of credit loans.

The ACL is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against operating income and is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. The ACL is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan (adjusted for expected prepayment), that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Determination of an appropriate ACL is inherently subjective and may have significant changes from period to period.

The methodology for determining the ACL has two main components: evaluation of expected credit losses for certain groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics and evaluation of loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans.

The ACL for homogeneous loans is calculated using a life-time loss rate methodology with both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis that is applied on a quarterly basis. The ACL model is comprised of eight distinct portfolio segments: 1) Commercial and Industrial or C&I, 2) Commercial Real Estate, or CRE, 3) Commercial Lessors of Buildings, 4) Construction, 5) Consumer Mortgage, 6) Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC, 7) Consumer Installment, and 8) Consumer Indirect loans. Each segment has a distinct set of risk characteristics monitored by management. We further evaluate the ACL at a disaggregated level which includes type of collateral, loan participations, non-owner occupied and our internal risk rating system for the commercial segments, and type of collateral and lien position, for the consumer segments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Historical credit loss experience is the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. We apply historical loss rates to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. After consideration of the historic loss calculation, management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information at the balance sheet date. Our reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment is based on the unemployment forecast and management judgment. For periods beyond our two-year reasonable and supportable forecast, we revert to the historical loss rate. The qualitative adjustments for current conditions are based upon changes in lending policies and practices, change in economic conditions, change in nature of the portfolio, experience and ability of lending staff, problem loan trends, quality of the bank’s loan review system, value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, the existence of and changes in concentrations, and other external factors. These modified historical loss rates are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of each loan to calculate a required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate a reserve assigned to the portion of off-balance sheet commitments that we expect to fund, specifically unfunded loan commitments, and any needed reserve is recorded in other liabilities.

The ACL for individual loans begins with the use of normal credit review procedures to identify whether a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other pooled loans and therefore, should be individually assessed. We evaluate all commercial loans greater than $500 thousand that meet the following criteria: 1) when it is determined that foreclosure is probable, 2) substandard, doubtful and nonperforming loans when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, and 3) when it is determined by management that a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans. Collateral values are discounted to consider disposition costs when appropriate. A specific reserve is established or a charge-off is taken if the fair value of the loan is less than the loan balance.

Although we believe our process for determining the ACL appropriately considers all the factors that would likely result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual losses are higher than management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required and could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates susceptible to change in the near term relate to management’s determination of the allowance for credit losses and the fair value of financial instruments.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED IN 2023

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" and subsequent related updates. This ASU replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses and requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity securities, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments, and other financial instruments. In addition, ASC 326 requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not more likely than not they will be required to sell the debt securities. This guidance became effective on January 1, 2023 for the Bank. The results reported for periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Bank adopted this guidance, and subsequent related updates, using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, available-for-sale debt securities and unfunded commitments. On January 1, 2023, the Bank recorded a cumulative effect increase to retained earnings of $52 thousand, net of tax, of which $442 thousand related to loans, offset by $390 thousand related to unfunded commitments, net of tax. There was no allowance for credit losses recorded for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. See Note 3 for further discussion on the adoption of CECL.

The Bank adopted the provisions of ASC 326 related to presenting other-than-temporary impairment on available-for- sale debt securities prior to January 1, 2023 using the prospective transition approach, though no such charges had been recorded on the securities held by the Bank as of the date of adoption.

The Bank expanded the pooling utilized under the legacy incurred loss method to include additional segmentation based on risk. The impact of the change from the incurred loss model to the current expected credit loss model is detailed below:

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures”. The guidance amends ASC 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying TDR recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of existing loan. The guidance also requires disclosures about the performance of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the 12 months following the modification.

These amendments are intended to enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The guidance is only for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13. This guidance has been adopted as of January 1, 2023, however, there have been no reportable loan modifications during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

There were 204 securities in an unrealized loss position on June 30, 2023, 163 of which were in a continuous loss position for twelve (12) months or more. At least quarterly, the Company conducts a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment on the available-for-sale securities. Management believes the Company will fully recover the cost of these securities. It does not intend to sell these securities and likely will not be required to sell them before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. As a result, management concluded that these securities were not at a credit loss on June 30, 2023 and were not other than temporarily impaired on December 31, 2022, respectively.

Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of Risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers; however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

NOTE 3 – LOANS (CONTINUED)

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied.

With respect to loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner-occupied properties, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction and land development loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate.

Construction and land development loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, jointly by line and staff personnel. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, mitigates risk.

The Company maintains an independent credit department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Loans serviced for others approximated $133.8 and $137.5 million on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit

Nearly all the Company’s lending activity occurs within the state of Ohio, including the four counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and commercial real estate loans. Credit concentrations, including commitments, as determined using North American Industry Classification Codes (NAICS), to the two largest industries compared to total loans on June 30, 2023, included $69.1 million, or 10%, of total loans to lessors of non-residential buildings, and $35.4 million, or 5%, of total loans to other animal food. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment, with repayment expected from operational cash flow. Credit evaluation is based on a review of cash flow coverage of principal, interest payments, and the adequacy of the collateral received.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

For the three and six month periods in 2023 the increase in the provision for commercial and industrial loans primarily relates to the increase in loan volume. The change in provision for commercial lessors of buildings relates to the increase in loans graded special mention. The decrease in provision for commercial real estate loans is due to the payoff of one larger loan relationship with a specific allocation.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all commercial loans before origination and an annual review of those with an outstanding commitment greater than $500 thousand. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass. Loans classified as pass (Cash Secured, Exceptional, Acceptable, Monitor, or Pass Watch) may exhibit a wide array of characteristics but at a minimum represent an acceptable risk to the Bank. Borrowers in this rating may have leveraged but acceptable balance sheet positions, satisfactory asset quality, stable to favorable sales and earnings trends, acceptable liquidity and adequate cash flow. Loans are considered fully collectible and require an average amount of administration. While generally adhering to credit policy, these loans may exhibit occasional exceptions that do not result in undue risk to the Bank. Borrowers are generally capable of absorbing setbacks, financial and otherwise, without the threat of failure.

Special Mention. Assets assigned a Special Mention grade are not considered classified assets but are considered criticized. These assets exhibit potential weaknesses that, deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Loans in this rating warrant special attention but have not yet reached the point of concern for loss. These assets have deteriorated sufficiently to the point they would have difficulty refinancing elsewhere. Similarly, purchasers of the business would not be eligible for bank financing unless they represent a significantly stronger credit risk.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Consumer mortgages are substantially secured by one to four family owner occupied properties and consumer indirect loans are substantially secured by recreational vehicles. All nonperforming consumer loans are evaluated when placed on nonaccrual status and may be charged down based on the fair value less cost to sell if that value is lower than the outstanding balance.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Occasionally, the Bank modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing – principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Bank may provide multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

There were no modifications of loans to borrowers in financial distress completed during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company provides disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level I: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level II: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by corroborated or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Other financial instruments carried at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, restricted stock, bank-owned life insurance, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable, all of which have a Level I fair value that approximates their carrying value. The Company also has unrecognized financial instruments on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These financial instruments relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The aggregate contract amount of such financial instruments was approximately $304 million on June 30, 2023 and $268 million on December 31, 2022. Such amounts are also considered to be the fair values.

The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. Since no ready market exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are largely based on judgments after considering such factors as future expected credit losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis focuses on the consolidated financial condition of the Company on June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report are not historical facts but rather are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. When used herein, the terms “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “believes”, and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such material differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the financial services industry, changes in law, governmental policies and regulations, and rapidly changing technology affecting financial services. Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations. While the Company believes that the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as may be required by applicable law.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased to $1.15 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $1.16 billion December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, securities decreased $16 million, net loans increased $38 million, and cash and cash equivalents decreased $26 million. Deposits and short-term borrowings decreased $6 million.

Net loans increased $38 million, or 14%, as construction loans decreased $8 million, or 14%, and residential real estate loans increased $12 million, or 8%, from December 31, 2022. Commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $36 million, or 14% compared to December 31, 2022. Consumer refinance activity slowed significantly on mortgage loans, home purchase activity remained stable despite limited inventory, and home equity line balances decreased by $3 million. Residential mortgage loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $27 million, a decrease from $44 million in originations during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As interest rates continued to rise in 2023, more variable rate residential mortgage loans were originated for the portfolio. Originations sold into the secondary market were $2 million and $7 million, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The Bank originates and sells primarily fixed rate thirty-year mortgages into the secondary market.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $709 thousand from the year ago quarter to $6.6 million. The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2023. Net recoveries were $6 thousand, or an annualized 0.00% of average loans, in the current six-month period compared to net recoveries of $295 thousand, or 0.10% of average loans in the year-ago six-month period. At June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.99%. We believe the allowance level is appropriate given the low level of problem loans and composition of the overall loan portfolio in the current economic environment.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nonperforming loans decreased $2 thousand to $254 thousand, or 0.04%, of total loans from $256 thousand, or 0.04% of total loans, on December 31, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $60 thousand in loans were placed on nonaccrual status, $70 thousand in paydowns were received, and $2 thousand in personal loans were charged-off due to non-payment.

Allowance for credit/loan losses as a percentage of total loans 0.99 % 1.09 % 1.25 %
Allowance for credit/loan losses to total nonperforming loans 25.8X 26.7X 10.5X

The ratio of gross loans to deposits was 65.1% at June 30, 2023, compared to 61.3% at December 31, 2022.

The Company has no exposure to government-sponsored enterprise preferred stocks, collateralized debt obligations, or trust preferred securities. Management has considered industry analyst reports, sector credit reports, and the volatility within the bond market in concluding that the gross unrealized losses of $49.5 million within the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios as of June 30, 2023, was primarily the result of current market yields compared to the yields at the time the investments were purchased by the Company and not due to credit quality. As a result, all embedded security losses on June 30, 2023, are considered temporary and no allowance for credit loss is necessary.

The weighted average life of total debt securities was 5.30 years at June 30, 2023 as compared to 5.57 years at December 31, 2022. If interest rates declined 100 basis points, the weighted average life was estimated to fall to 5.20 years at June 30, 2023 and 5.10 years at December 31, 2022. If interest rates rose 100 basis points the weighted average life would be expected to increase to 5.31 years at June 30, 2023 and 6.01 years at December 31, 2022.

Deposits decreased $2 million, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2022 with noninterest-bearing deposits decreasing approximately $35 million, or 10%, and interest-bearing deposit accounts increasing approximately $33 million, or 5%. Total deposits as of June 30, 2023 are $1.02 billion, or 3%, greater than June 30, 2022 deposit balances. On a year over year comparison, decreases were recognized in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $13 million and savings of $18 million. Increases were recognized in interest bearing demand of $13 million, money market accounts of $5 million, and time deposits of $42 million. Deposit growth has stabilized with customers transfering funds into time certificates of deposit to take advantage of the increased interest rates. The estimated amount of uninsured deposits was $272 million, $267 million, and $262 million as of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Short-term borrowings consisting of overnight repurchase agreements with retail customers decreased $4 million, or 12%, to $29 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 and other borrowings decreased $599 thousand as the Company repaid FHLB advances.

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $100 million, or 8.7%, of total assets at June 30, 2023, an increase of $4 million, or 4%, from $96 million December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to net income of $7.6 million, accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) of $397 thousand, less cash dividends of $2.0 million, and treasury stock repurchase of $1.0 million. An increase of U.S. Treasury rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 caused the AOCL to increase as AFS securities are marked to fair market value. As interest rates increase, the fair value of AFS fixed-rate securities decrease with a corresponding net of tax increase recorded in the AOCL portion of equity. This remaining unrealized loss in securities is temporary and is adjusted monthly for additional interest rate fluctuations, principal paydowns, calls, and maturities. The Company and the Bank met all regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

For the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded net income of $3.6 million and $3.2 million and $1.36 and $1.18 per share, respectively. The $435 thousand increase in net income for the period was primarily the result of a $1.4 million increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $275 thousand, and a decrease of $49 thousand in noninterest income. The total provision for credit losses was $140 thousand in 2023 compared to a recovery of $345 thousand for the three-month period in 2022, and the federal income tax provision increased $120 thousand. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.27% and 14.62%, respectively, for the three-month period of 2023, compared to 1.13% and 13.73%, respectively for the same quarter in 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $11.2 million representing a $3.2 million increase, or 40%, compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased volume and rates on loans and increased rates on interest-earning deposits, and taxable securities partially offset by the volume decrease in interest-earning deposits in the comparable period. Average interest-earning deposit rates increased 433 bps while loan rates increased 109 basis points, and taxable securities interest rates rose 33 bps for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The Federal Reserve raised managed interest rates 7 times and 350 bps during the 1 year period. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $2.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 492%, from the same quarter in 2022. The increase in interest expense occurred primarily due to the increase in interest rates on all deposit types as well as an increase in volume of demand and time deposit accounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, with improving credit quality and minimal loan charge-offs, the bank recognized net recoveries of $10 thousand, compared to $308 thousand net recoveries for the same quarter in 2022. The provision for credit losses for loans in the current quarter of $242 thousand, compared to a credit provision of $345 thousand in the second quarter 2022, reflects loan growth in 2023. The company recorded $102 thousand credit provision for off-balance credit exposure in 2023 compared to a $0 provision in the second quarter of 2022. This decrease results from a decline primarily in construction loans in 2023 compared to 2022. Economic indicators reflect a leveling off in residential real estate prices and low unemployment. The provision for credit losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, which includes provisions for classified loans as well as for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data, including past charge-offs and current economic trends.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $1.7 million, a decrease of $49 thousand, or 3%, compared to the same quarter in 2022. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market decreased by $91 thousand, or 62%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as fewer loans were sold into the secondary market due to decreasing demand for mortgage refinancing as interest rates increased and inventories of homes available for sale declined. Fees from trust and brokerage services amounted to $252 thousand for the second quarter 2023, a decrease of $1 thousand, or less than 1%, as compared to the same quarter in 2022. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $11 thousand, or 4%, compared to the same quarter in 2022, primarily from increased customer overdraft fees. Debit card interchange income decreased $10 thousand, or 2%, with less fees generated from usage in the second quarter 2023. Credit card fee income increased $1 thousand, or less than 1%, as improvements to the card program have resulted in increased customer usage. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $4 thousand, or 2%, for the second quarter 2023.

Noninterest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased $275 thousand, or 5%, compared to the second quarter 2022. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $23 thousand, or less than 1%, a result the capitalization of salary and benefits due to increased loan originations compared to second quarter 2022. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $8 thousand, or 3%, in 2023 over the second quarter 2022, primarily due to increases in property insurance. Software expense increased $95 thousand due to additional software purchases over second quarter 2022. Professional and director fees increased $56 thousand, or 17%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2022, primarily due to an increase in audit and outside consulting fees. Marketing and public relations expense increased $26 thousand, or 24%. Data line and phone expense decreased $14 thousand, or 22%, with renegotiated contracts. Debit card expense decreased $16 thousand or 9%. FDIC insurance expense increased $103 thousand, or 137%, with the increase in insurance rates. Federal income tax expense increased $120 thousand, or 16%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2022. The provision for income taxes was $894 thousand (effective rate of 19.7%) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $774 thousand (effective rate of 19.4%) for the same quarter ended 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $21.8 million representing a $6.6 million increase, or 43%, compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to volume and yield increases on loans and taxable securities along with rate increases on overnight deposits in other banks for the period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $3.9 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 416%, from the same period in 2022. The increase in interest expense occurred primarily due to an increase in rates on all interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $274 thousand, compared to a credit reversal of $645 thousand for the same period in 2022. For more discussion see Results of Operations, three months. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, which includes provisions for classified loans as well as for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data, including past charge-offs and current economic trends.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $3.4 million, a decrease of $63 thousand, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2022. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market decreased $206 thousand to $59 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as increases in interest rates slowed mortgage loan refinancing. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $38 thousand, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2022 primarily from increases in overdraft fees, as well as increases in business service charges on deposit accounts. Credit card fee income increased $23 thousand, or 7% with growth in business credit card customers and interchange income. Debit card interchange income increased $16 thousand, or 2%. Earnings on bank owned life insurance policies increased $7 thousand for the period. Fees from trust and brokerage services declined $7 thousand for the period.

Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased $526 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2022. Salaries and employee benefits increased $116 thousand, or 2%, a result of increased salaries and medical benefits. Marketing and public relations expense increased $38 thousand, or 17%, with marketing, brand recognition initiatives, and community support in the company’s market slowly increasing in volume due to increasing opportunities presenting after previous cancellations due to COVID-19. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $3 thousand over the same period in 2022 with an increase in maintenance and insurance expense. Professional and director fees increased $101 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022 with increased accounting and professional fees related to the audit function and CECL.

Federal income tax expense increased $453 thousand, or 32%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The provision for income taxes was $1.9 million (effective rate of 19.8%) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 million (effective rate of 19.3%) for the same period ended 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintained a strong capital position with tangible common equity to tangible assets of 8.3% at June 30, 2023 compared with 7.9% at December 31, 2022.

Consistent with the Board of Director’s commitment to public confidence and safe and sound banking operations, capital targets and minimum risk-based capital ratios for CSB were established to maintain excess capital to well-capitalized standards. To be considered well-capitalized, an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8%, a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio of at least 6.5% and must not be subject to any order or directive requiring the institution to improve its capital level. An adequately capitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a CET1 ratio of at least 4.5%, and a leverage ratio of at least 4%.

Failure to meet specified minimum capital requirements could result in regulatory actions by the Federal Reserve or Ohio Division of Financial Institutions that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Management believes there were no material changes to capital resources as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

By June 2023, Ohio's unemployment rate declined to 3.4%. The bank based in Holmes County is reporting an unemployment rate of 3.0% in June 2023. Of the counties within the bank's footprint, Tuscarawas County reported the highest unemployment rate at 4.1% in June. Wayne County posted a low unemployment rate of 2.9% in June 2023. Many jobs within the Bank's market footprint continue to go unfilled. The rate of inflation, slowed to 3.1% at June 2023, following a high base rate in 2022. The rate continues to be above the Federal Reserve target rate of 2%, but has fallen from 8.5% in March 2022. The Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates in an effort to stabilize prices with maximum employment. Credit quality in the Bank's loan portfolio is good, however risks to the economy remain with higher prices for goods and labor.

Management performs a quarterly analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk over a twenty-four-month horizon. The analysis includes two balance sheet models, one based on a static balance sheet and one on a dynamic balance sheet with projected growth in assets and liabilities. All balance sheet positions, and interest rate projections are currently within the Company’s board-approved policy for both the twelve- month and twenty-four-month periods.

The following table presents an analysis of the estimated sensitivity of the Company’s annual net interest income to sudden and sustained -400 through +400 basis point changes, in 100 basis point increments, in market interest rates at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The net interest income reflected is for the first twelve-month period of the modeled twenty-four-month horizon. The underlying balance sheet for illustrative purposes is dynamic with projected growth in assets and liabilities.
