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, 2021, 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, 2020, 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, 2021 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.

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 loan losses and the fair value of financial instruments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The Update and all subsequent ASU’s that modified Topic 326, requires that financial assets be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e. net of expected credit losses), eliminating the probable recognition threshold for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We expect the Update will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses for the estimated life of the financial asset, including an estimate for held-to-maturity debt securities. The amount of any increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date, as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. A cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is required as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASU’s.

ASU 2017-04 - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The Update, and all subsequent ASU’s, simplifies the goodwill impairment test.  Under the new guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment process that requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of its goodwill by assigning fair value to all its assets and liabilities is eliminated. Instead, the entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2020-4 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).  This update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

There were thirty-nine securities in an unrealized loss position on June 30, 2021, eight of which were in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more.  At least quarterly, the Company conducts a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment.  The assessments are based on the nature of the securities, the extent and duration of the securities in an unrealized loss position, the extent and duration of the loss and management’s intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. 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 other-than-temporarily impaired on June 30, 2021.

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.

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.

Note 3 – LOANS (continued)

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 $133.4 million and $117.5 million on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provided over $2 trillion in economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. The PPP provides loans to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcare and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during the COVID-19 emergency. The Company had 499 PPP loans with outstanding principal balances of $39.0 million as of March 31, 2021, and 671 PPP loans with balances of $70.1 million outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made as long as certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels. PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company. PPP loans are included in the Commercial loan category with no allowance for loan losses allocated.

In accordance with the SBA terms and conditions on these PPP loans, as of June 30, 2021, the Company has received approximately $5.4 million in fees associated with the processing of these loans since the inception of the program. Upon funding of the loans, the fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan with the unearned balance fully recognized at the time a loan is forgiven as an adjustment to yield in accordance with FASB ASC 310-20-25-2. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, interest and fee income recognized on PPP loans was $1.7 million and $724 thousand, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and

2020, interest and fee income recognized on PPP loans was $691 thousand and $724 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there were $1.5 million in remaining unearned fees on PPP loans outstanding.

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 at June 30, 2021, included $43 million, or 8%, of total loans to lessors of non-residential buildings or dwellings, and $34 million, or 6%, of total loans to assisted living facilities for the elderly. 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.

The Company has identified industries that could be at a higher risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the total balance of loans identified to COVID-19 affected businesses was $43 million, with $27 million of those loans to assisted living facilities and $13 million to businesses in the hotel industry.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.  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 months ended June 30, 2021, the decrease in the provision for loan losses for commercial loans was primarily related to a payoff. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 the decrease in the provision for commercial loans was primarily related to payoffs, partially offset by an increase in specific reserves. The decrease in provision for all other categories is related to the improvement in economic conditions along with fewer delinquent and nonperforming loans and improvement in classified loan balances.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in the provision for loan losses for commercial loans and the increase for commercial real estate loans was due to the reallocation of allowance related to loans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in all other categories is primarily related to the slowing economy and the continuing elevated unemployment rates associated with the pandemic.

None of the loans restructured in 2020 have defaulted in three or six months ended 2021.  None of the loans restructured in 2019 defaulted in 2020.

There was no other real estate owned on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  There were no mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure on June 30, 2021 and $21 thousand on December 31, 2020.  There were no other repossessed assets on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 3 – LOANS (continued)

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.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans.  Loans listed as not rated annually are either less than $500 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans.  Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class is as follows as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

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.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy. No liabilities are carried at fair value.  Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Equity securities with readily determinable values and U.S. Treasury Notes are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Obligations of U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and corporate bonds are valued at observable market data for similar assets.  Equity securities without readily determinable values are carried at amortized cost adjusted for impairment and observable price changes and are not included in the table below.

There were no assets measured on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2021.  The following table presents the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value as of December 31, 2020, by level within the fair value hierarchy. An impaired loan is written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves or a charge down is taken to reduce the loan to fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included in the following table as a Level III measurement.  Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loans include quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs, and observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs.  In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

The Company also has unrecognized financial instruments on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  These financial instruments relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.  The aggregate contract amount of such financial instruments was approximately $237 million on June 30, 2021 and $228 million on December 31, 2020.  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 at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. 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 were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021 as compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net loans decreased $57 million. Cash and cash equivalents, and securities increased $150 million. Deposits and short-term borrowings increased $96 million.

Net loans decreased $57 million, or 9%, as commercial real estate and construction loans decreased $4 million, or 2%, and residential real estate loans decreased $6 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2020. Commercial loans decreased $47 million, or 24%. Loans originated under SBA Paycheck Protection Program totaled $37 million during the first six months of 2021 and $92 million during 2020. Consumers continued to refinance their mortgage loans for historically low long-term fixed rates while home purchase activity remained robust despite limited inventory through the first half of 2021. Residential mortgage loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $58.7 million, an increase from $55.9 million in originations during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Originations sold into the secondary market were $27 million and $22 million, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. The Bank originates and sells primarily fixed rate thirty-year mortgages into the secondary market.

The allowance for loan losses increased $40 thousand from the year ago quarter to $7.9 million. The Company has not early adopted CECL which has been delayed for smaller reporting companies. Year over year outstanding loan balances decreased 13% to $552 million at June 30, 2021. Net recoveries were $46 thousand, or an annualized -0.02% of average loans, in the current six-month period compared to the $77 thousand net charge-off, or 0.03% of average loans in the year-ago six-month period. At June 30, 2021, the allowance for total loans minus the SBA guaranteed Payroll Protection loans was 1.53%. We believe the allowance level is appropriate given the low level of problem loans and current composition of the overall loan portfolio in the current economic environment.

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

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.6 million to $2.8 million, or 0.50%, of total loans from $4.4 million, or 0.69%, a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $321 thousand loans were placed on nonaccrual status, $348 thousand in paydowns, and the bank returned $1.6 million back to accrual status due to ongoing payment performance.

Total loans $ 552,030 $ 609,159 $ 636,799
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans 1.43 % 1.36 % 1.23 %
Allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans 2.8x 1.8x 1.7x

The ratio of gross loans to deposits was 55.9% at June 30, 2021, compared to 68.3% at December 31, 2020.

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 $2.0 million within the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios as of June 30, 2021, 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, 2021, are considered temporary and no impairment loss relating to these securities has been recognized.

Deposits increased $95 million, or 11%, from December 31, 2020 with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing approximately $31 million and interest-bearing deposit accounts increasing approximately $64 million. Total deposits as of June 30, 2021 are $987 million, or 21%, greater than June 30, 2020 deposit balances. On a year over year comparison, increases were recognized in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $48 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $68 million, money market accounts of $13 million, savings of $42 million, and time deposits remained stable. During 2020 and continuing into 2021, the Bank’s customers increased deposits through stimulus payments and cash conservation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Short-term borrowings consisting of overnight repurchase agreements with retail customers increased $1.3 million to $38 million at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 and other borrowings decreased $1 million as the Company repaid FHLB advances.

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $96 million, or 8.5%, of total assets at June 30, 2021 an increase from $93.9 million December 31, 2020. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to net income of $5.6 million partially offset by cash dividends of $1.6 million, other comprehensive loss of $1.5 million and the repurchase of treasury shares for $313 thousand. The Company and the Bank met all regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

For the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded net income of $2.7 million and $2.6 million and $1.00 and $0.95 per share, respectively. The $139 thousand increase in net income for the period was primarily the result of a reversal of provision for loan losses of $475 thousand and a $202 thousand increase in noninterest income. The increases were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $681 thousand, a $541 thousand decrease in net interest income and a $33 thousand increase in the federal income tax provision. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.97% and 11.62%, respectively, for the three-month period of 2021, compared to 1.15% and 11.72%, respectively for the same quarter in 2020.

Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, was $7 million representing a $717 thousand decrease, or a 9% decline, compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to average loan volume decreasing $57 million as well as average loan rates decreasing 17 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $543 thousand, a decrease of $176 thousand, or 24%, from the same quarter in 2020. The decrease in interest expense occurred primarily due to a decrease in rates on all liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by increases in the average deposit balances.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

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

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, with stimulus programs, improving credit quality, and a decrease of outstanding loan balances, the bank recognized a negative (credit) provision of $475 thousand to the provision for loan losses, compared to a loss provision of $717 thousand for the same quarter in 2020. The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, reflected the unknown COVID-19 pandemic and an elevated qualitative factor adjustment (“Q-factor”) under managements estimate of loss at that time. The recapture of provision for loan losses for the current quarter primarily reflects the decrease in loan balances, as well as the improvement in economic indicators including unemployment, residential real estate prices and consumer confidence over 2020. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan 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, 2021, was $1.8 million, an increase of $202 thousand, or 12%, compared to the same quarter in 2020. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market decreased by $90 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as fewer loans were sold into the secondary market due to decreasing inventories of homes available for sale and decreasing demand for mortgage rewrites. Debit card interchange income increased $126 thousand, or 32%, with greater fees generated from usage in the second quarter 2021. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $13 thousand for the second quarter 2021 a result of adding policies in 2020. Fees from trust and brokerage services amounted to $264 thousand for the second quarter 2021, an increase of $68 thousand, or 35%, as compared to the same quarter in 2020. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $8 thousand, or 4%, compared to the same quarter in 2020 primarily from a slight volume increase in overdraft fees.

Noninterest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased $681 thousand, or 14%, compared to the second quarter 2020. Salaries and employee benefits increased $368 thousand, or 14%, a result of a decrease in capitalization of approximately $262 thousand in salary and benefits expense to deferred loan origination costs related to new commercial and mortgage loan originations.  Increases were recognized in base wage, social security benefits and incentive accruals. FDIC assessment amounted to $120 thousand as compared to $12 thousand in the second quarter 2020 due to small bank assessment credits being utilized in 2020. The Ohio financial institutions tax increased $16 thousand in the second quarter due to the Company’s increased capital base. Marketing and public relations expense increased $33 thousand, or 51%, primarily due to more events taking place after being cancelled due to COVID-19. Debit card expenses increased $26 thousand, or 18%, compared to the second quarter 2020 with increased volume. Software expense rose $77 thousand quarter over quarter with additional investment. Occupancy expense increased $3 thousand in 2021 over the second quarter 2020. Professional and director fees increased $74 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2020. This increase resulted from an increase in collection legal fees, an increase in audit expense and an increase in director’s compensation.

Federal income tax expense increased $33 thousand, or 5%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2020. The provision for income taxes was $654 thousand (effective rate of 19%) for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $621 thousand (effective rate of 19%) for the same quarter ended 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded net income of $5.6 million and $5.1 million and $2.05 and $1.86 per share, respectively. The $541 thousand increase in net income for the six-month period was primarily the result of a negative loan loss provision of $445 thousand for the period as compared to a loss provision of $895 thousand for the same period in 2020. Other income increased $737 thousand. The increases were partially offset by an increase of $955 thousand in noninterest expense, a $449 thousand decrease in net interest income, and an $132 thousand increase in the federal income tax provision. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.04% and 11.97%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 1.19% and 11.60%, respectively for the same period in 2020.

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

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $14.6 million representing a $953 thousand decrease, or a 6% decline, compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to yield decreases as follows: 19 basis points in average loan rates, 89 basis points in average taxable security yields, and 47 basis points in interest-earning deposits in other banks for the period ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $504 thousand, or 31%, from the same period in 2020. The decrease in interest expense occurred primarily due to a decrease in rates on all interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by increases in the average balances.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the provision for loan losses was a credit (reversal) of provision of $445 thousand, compared to a provision of $895 thousand for the same period in 2020. 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 loan 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, 2020, was $3.7 million, an increase of $737 thousand, or 25%, compared to the same period in 2020. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market increased $282 thousand to $904 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Debit card interchange income increased $221 thousand, or 29%, with increased card usage in the first six months of 2021.  Earnings on bank owned life insurance policies increased $35 thousand for the period with the additional purchase of $2 million in policies in 2021. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $75 thousand, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2020 primarily from decreases in overdraft fees. Fees from trust and brokerage services increased $119 thousand for the period.

Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $955 thousand, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2020.   Salaries and employee benefits increased $429 thousand, or 8%, a result increased salary, with additions to lending staff, and reduced capital gain of deferred loan costs with less volume originated in commercial loans. Marketing and public relations expense decreased $16 thousand, or 8%, 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. Debit card expenses increased $57 thousand, or 20%, compared to the prior period in 2020.  Occupancy expense increased $37 thousand over the same period in 2020 with an increase in depreciation, maintenance, and supplies expense.  Professional and director fees increased $40 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

Federal income tax expense increased $132 thousand, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The provision for income taxes was $1.3 million (effective rate of 19%) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.2 million (effective rate of 19%) for the same period ended 2020.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintained a strong capital position with tangible common equity to tangible assets of 8.1% at June 30, 2021 compared with 8.7% at December 31, 2020.

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%.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

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

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, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

During October 2019, the federal banking agencies adopted an optional community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”).  Depository institutions and depository institution holding companies, that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9 percent, are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the community bank leverage ratio framework.  Additionally, such insured depository institutions are considered to have satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements and will be considered well-capitalized under the rule, effective January 1, 2020.  The Company has not elected to opt-in to the CBLR framework as of June 30, 2021.

Liquidity ratio 57.1 % 47.6 %
Minimum board approved liquidity ratio 20.0 20.0

Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, pay operating expenses, and meet other obligations. Liquidity is monitored by the Company’s Asset Liability Committee. Other sources of liquidity include, but are not limited to, purchases of federal funds, advances from the FHLB, adjustments of interest rates to attract deposits, brokered deposits, and borrowing at the Federal Reserve discount window. Management believes that its sources of liquidity are adequate to meet cash flow obligations for the foreseeable future.

The growth in core deposits was largely a result of PPP loan funds deposited into customer accounts and an increase in general customer liquidity due to reduced business investment and consumer spending during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The COVID-19 pandemic added market risk disclosure which should be read with the disclosures presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. While 2020 began with increased loan demand and strong employment, the economic picture reversed sharply as coronavirus wreaked havoc and became the lead story by mid-March. A series of emergency health orders for public safety curtailed nonessential activity and had the effect of shutting down vast swaths of Ohio’s economy, resulting in a peak of approximately one million people on unemployment, or an unemployment rate of 17.6%, in Ohio during April of 2020.  By June 2021, Ohio’s unemployment rate approximated 6%.  The bank is based in Holmes County which is reporting the lowest unemployment rate in Ohio at 3.8% in June 2021.  Of the counties within the bank’s footprint, Stark County reported the highest unemployment rate at 6.3% in June. With vaccination rates and government stimulus funds slowing, the Federal Reserve is projecting bottlenecks, hiring difficulties, and other constraints  as well as the possibility that inflation could turn out to be higher and more persistent than expected.  The effects of the pandemic on the economy have continue to diminish, but risks to the economy remain.

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 the first twelve- month period. For the twenty-four month periods in the rising interest rate scenarios the increase in interest income is favorably above board policy limits.

The following table presents an analysis of the estimated sensitivity of the Company’s annual net interest income to sudden and sustained -200 through +400 basis point changes, in 100 basis point increments, in market interest rates at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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.

SECTION 1350 CERTIFICATION
