NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 September 30, 2022, 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, 2021, 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 September 30, 2022 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.

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. 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. The cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is required as of the beginning of the year of adoption.  The Company has contracted with a third-party software vendor to assist with the development of the Bank’s approach for determining expected credit losses under the new guidance. The Company is actively working on preliminary test calculations, and data validation, as well as process and procedural documentation. 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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.

ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this update eliminate TDR accounting for entities that have adopted Update 2016-13, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications 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. 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. The ASU also requires 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 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted using prospective application, including adoption in an interim period where the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

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 $139.2 and $142.1 million on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 seven PPP loans with outstanding principal balances of $392  thousand as of September 30, 2022, and 76 PPP loans with balances of $4.6 million outstanding as of December 31, 2021. 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 September 30, 2022, 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, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, interest and fee income recognized on PPP loans was $187 thousand and $2.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, interest and fee income recognized on PPP loans was $25 thousand and $974 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $8 thousand 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 on September 30, 2022, included $71.9 million, or 12%, of total loans to lessors of non-residential buildings or dwellings, and $27.8 million, or 5%, 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 September 30, 2022, the total balance of loans, including commitments, identified to COVID-19 affected businesses was $37.9 million, with $27.8 million of those loans to assisted living facilities and $10.1 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021.  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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in the provision for loan losses for commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the improvement in businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the reduction of loan balances to businesses affected by the pandemic. The decrease in the provision for construction and land development loans for the nine-month period was primarily related to the recovery of a prior loan charge off in the second quarter and the three-month period was due to a decrease in loan balances in the third quarter. The increase in provision for residential real estate loans is primarily due to loan growth.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the increase in the provision for loan losses for construction and land development loans was primarily related to loans to assisted living facilities that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in provision for all other categories for the three and nine-month periods is related to the improvement in economic conditions along with fewer delinquent and nonperforming loans and improvement in adversely classified loan balances.

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.

NOTE 3 – LOANS (CONTINUED)

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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.

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

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 1 fair value that approximates their carrying value. The Company also has unrecognized financial instruments on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  These financial instruments relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.  The aggregate contract amount of such financial instruments was approximately $267 million on September 30, 2022 and $248 million on December 31, 2021.  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 September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021. 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.

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 increased to $1.16 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $1.14 billion December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, securities increased $88 million, net loans increased $61 million, and cash and cash equivalents decreased $136 million. Deposits and short-term borrowings increased $24 million.

Net loans increased $61 million, or 11%, as construction loans increased $12 million, or 27%, and residential real estate loans increased $22 million, or 13%, from December 31, 2021. Commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $30 million compared to December 31, 2021 including $4 million in PPP loan forgiveness from year end. PPP loans outstanding on September 30, 2022, were $392 thousand after the bank originated $129 million in PPP loans during 2020 and 2021. Consumer refinance activity slowed significantly on mortgage loans, home purchase activity remained stable despite limited inventory through the first nine months of 2022, and home equity line balances increased by $7 million. Residential mortgage loan originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $61 million, a decrease from $85 million in originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As interest rates rose in 2022, more variable rate residential mortgage loans were originated for the portfolio, with nine-month originations of $48 million in 2022 and $38 million in 2021. Originations sold into the secondary market were $8 million and $36 million, respectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The Bank originates and sells primarily fixed rate thirty-year mortgages into the secondary market.

The allowance for loan losses decreased $637 thousand from the year ago quarter to $7.0 million. The Company has not early adopted CECL which has been delayed for smaller reporting companies. Net recoveries were $285 thousand, or an annualized -0.07% of average loans, in the current nine-month period compared to net recoveries of $26 thousand, or -0.01% of average loans in the year-ago nine-month period. At September 30, 2022, the allowance for total loans was 1.15%. 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 $402 thousand to $686 thousand, or 0.11%, of total loans from $1.1 million, or 0.20%, on December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $82 thousand in loans were placed on nonaccrual status, $470 thousand in paydowns were received, and $10 thousand in personal loans were charged-off due to non-payment.

Allowance for loan losses 7,008 7,618 7,645
Total loans $ 609,971 $ 549,154 $ 546,095
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans 1.15 % 1.39 % 1.40 %
Allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans 10.2X 7.0X 5.8X

The ratio of gross loans to deposits was 59.3% at September 30, 2022, compared to 54.8% at December 31, 2021.

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 $53.7 million within the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios as of September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022, are considered temporary and no impairment loss relating to these securities has been recognized.

Deposits increased $27 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2021 with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing approximately $4 million, or 1%, and interest-bearing deposit accounts increasing approximately $23 million, or 3%. Total deposits as of September 30, 2022 are $1.03 billion, or 6%, greater than September 30, 2021 deposit balances. On a year over year comparison, increases were recognized in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $34 million, money market accounts of $25 million, savings of $12 million, and declines in interest-bearing demand deposits of $2 million and time deposits by $8 million. Deposit growth has normalized following the Bank’s customers increasing 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 decreased $2 million, or 6%, to $34 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 and other borrowings decreased $879 thousand as the Company repaid FHLB advances.

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $92 million, or 7.9%, of total assets at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $5 million, or 5.5%, from $97 million December 31, 2021. The decrease in shareholders’ equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) of $11.9 million, which was partially offset by net income of $9.6 million, less cash dividends of $2.6 million. Rapidly rising interest rates during 2022 have caused the AOCL to increase as AFS securities are marked to fair market value. As interest rates rise, the fair value of AFS fixed-rate securities decline with a corresponding net of tax decline recorded in the AOCL portion of equity. This 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 September 30, 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021

For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded net income of $3.7 million and $2.9 million and $1.35 and $1.06 per share, respectively. The $749 thousand increase in net income for the period was primarily the result of a $1.2 million increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $232 thousand, and a decrease of $93 thousand in noninterest income. The recovery of provision for loan losses was $250 thousand in 2022 compared to $210 thousand for the three-month period in 2021, and the federal income tax provision increased $201 thousand. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.25% and 15.24%, respectively, for the three-month period of 2022, compared to 1.03% and 11.79%, respectively for the same quarter in 2021.

Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $9.2 million representing a $1.4 million increase, or 17%, compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to the additional volume and increased rates on taxable securities, as well as an increase in the rate earned on interest-earning deposits, partially offset by the decrease in loan interest rates in the comparable periods. Average loan rates decreased 56 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily from PPP recognized loan fees declining from $909 thousand in 2021 to $24 thousand in 2022. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $596 thousand, an increase of $116 thousand, or 24%, from the same quarter in 2021. The increase in interest expense occurred primarily due to the increase in interest rates on savings and interest-bearing demand deposits as well as an increase in volume of savings accounts for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

CSB BANCORP, INC.

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

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, with improving credit quality and net loan recoveries, the bank recognized a recovery for loan losses of $250 thousand to the provision for loan losses, compared to a recovery for loan losses of $210 thousand for the same quarter in 2021. The recapture of provision for loan losses for the current quarter primarily reflects the sustained improvement in credit quality including the increase in loans graded as pass as well as a reduction of impaired loans. Economic indicators reflect improvement in residential real estate prices and low unemployment. 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 September 30, 2022, was $1.7 million, a decrease of $93 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same quarter in 2021. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market decreased by $221 thousand, or 82%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 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 $216 thousand for the third quarter 2022, a decrease of $36 thousand, or 14%, as compared to the same quarter in 2021. Credit card fee income increased $43 thousand, or 34%, as improvements to the card program have resulted in increased customer usage. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $71 thousand, or 28%, compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily from increased customer overdraft fees. Debit card interchange income increased $15 thousand, or 3%, with greater fees generated from usage in the third quarter 2022. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $7 thousand, or 4%, for the third quarter 2022.

Noninterest expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased $232 thousand, or 4%, compared to the third quarter 2021. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $29 thousand, or less than 1%, a result of fewer FTE’s due to open positions which was partially offset by reduced credits from loan originations compared to third quarter 2021. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $25 thousand, or 6%, in 2022 over the third quarter 2021, primarily due to increases in depreciation related to facility improvements and increased cost of building and equipment repairs and maintenance. Professional and director fees increased $375 thousand, or 208%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the third quarter 2021, primarily due to consulting fees to renegotiate the renewal of the core data processing software contract, loan legal and collection expenses as compared to a recovery of loan collection expenses in 2021, and an increase in audit fees. Software expense increased $79 thousand due to additional software purchases. The Ohio Financial institutions tax increased $7 thousand, or 4%, in the third quarter due to the Company’s increased capital base. FDIC assessment amounted to $93 thousand as compared to $130 thousand in the third quarter 2021 due to improvement within nonperforming loans. Marketing and public relations expense declined $6 thousand, or 4%.  Federal income tax expense increased $201 thousand, or 29%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the third quarter 2021. The provision for income taxes was $890 thousand (effective rate of 19.6%) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $689 thousand (effective rate of 19.2%) for the same quarter ended 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded net income of $9.6 million and $8.5 million and $3.52 and $3.12 per share, respectively. The $1.0 million increase in net income for the nine-month period was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $2.3 million, which was partially offset by a reduction in noninterest income of $390 thousand and an increase in noninterest expenses of $803 thousand. A negative loan loss provision of $895 thousand for the period as compared to a smaller negative loss provision of $655 thousand for the same period in 2021 also contributed to increased net income for the nine months. The federal income tax provision was $269 thousand higher during the nine-month period in 2022. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.12% and 13.41%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 1.03% and 11.91%, respectively for the same period in 2021.

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

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $24.4 million representing a $2.0 million thousand increase, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to volume and yield increases on taxable securities, yield increases on overnight deposits in other banks, and volume increases in average loan balances for the period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Offsetting these increases was a yield decrease on loans, primarily from PPP fees declining from $2.4 million in 2021 to $173 thousand in 2022. Year-to-date average PPP loan balances decreased from $26 million on September 30, 2021, to $1.8 million on September 30, 2022, as loans were forgiven by the SBA. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1.3 million, a decrease of $250 thousand, or 16%, from the same period in 2021. The decrease in interest expense occurred primarily due to a decrease in rates on time deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by an increase in the average balances and rates on savings deposits in 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the provision for loan losses was a credit (reversal) of provision of $895 thousand, compared to a smaller credit provision of $655 thousand for the same period in 2021. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $5.1 million, a decrease of $390 thousand, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2021. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market decreased $860 thousand, or 73%, to $314 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as increases in interest rates slowed mortgage loan refinancing. Debit card interchange income increased $56 thousand, or 4%.  Earnings on bank owned life insurance policies increased $47 thousand, or 10%, for the period. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $199 thousand, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2021 primarily from increases in overdraft fees, as well as increases in business service charges on deposit accounts. Credit card fee income increased $175 thousand, or 51% with growth in business credit card customers and interchange income. Fees from trust and brokerage services decreased $65 thousand for the period.

Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $803 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2021.   Salaries and employee benefits increased $465 thousand, or 5%, a result of increased salaries, with additions to lending staff, and reduced credits on deferred loan costs with less volume originated in commercial and mortgage loans. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $134 thousand over the same period in 2021 with an increase in depreciation and maintenance expense. Professional and director fees increased $330 thousand, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, see three months ended results of operation.   Software expense rose, $102 thousand, or 11%, with the addition of software.  Marketing and public relations expense increased $38 thousand, or 12%, 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.

Federal income tax expense increased $269 thousand, or 13%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The provision for income taxes was $2.3 million (effective rate of 19.4%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.0 million (effective rate of 19.2%) for the same period ended 2021.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintained a strong capital position with tangible common equity to tangible assets of 7.5% at September 30, 2022 compared with 8.1% at December 31, 2021.

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

CSB BANCORP, INC.

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

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, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

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.

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

By September 2022, Ohio’s unemployment rate approximated 3.8%.  The bank is based in Holmes County which is reporting an unemployment rate of 2.5% in September 2022.  Of the counties within the bank’s footprint, Stark County reported the highest unemployment rate at 3.7% in September. Many jobs within the Bank’s market footprint are going unfilled.  The rising rate of inflation, which stood at 8.2% in September 2022, has become persistent and market interest rates have risen substantially during the first nine months of the year. Credit quality in the Bank’s loan portfolio has continued to improve, 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 -200 through +400 basis point changes, in 100 basis point increments, in market interest rates at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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.
