NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 29, 2026

CAPITOL FEDERAL FINANCIAL, INC.®

REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS

Topeka, KS - Capitol Federal Financial, Inc.® (NASDAQ: CFFN) (the "Company," "we" or "our"), the parent company of Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), announced preliminary results today for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. For best viewing results, please view this release in Portable Document Format (PDF) on our website, https://ir.capfed.com. Additionally, our quarterly investor presentation can also be found on our website at https://ir.capfed.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx.

The Company ended the current quarter with total assets of $9.83 billion, stockholders' equity of $1.03 billion and net income of $20.1 million. The continued growth in assets and strong earnings performance are the direct result of disciplined execution of our strategic banking initiatives by the Board and management. This marked our seventh consecutive quarter of net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion. Net interest income increased $949 thousand to $52.3 million, and our net interest margin increased five basis points to 2.24% due primarily to a reduction in borrowings. Our commitment to share repurchases continued with the purchase of $22.4 million in shares between January 1, 2026 and April 22, 2026. The Company paid a special dividend in January as a result of its improved financial performance in fiscal year 2025, further enhancing stockholder value.

Executing on our strategic initiatives during the current quarter enabled growth in our commercial loan portfolio of $39.1 million and in our commercial deposit portfolio of $20.4 million, bringing the totals to $2.32 billion and $548.1 million, respectively. We continue to grow our commercial loan portfolio primarily by redeploying funds received from the repayment of correspondent loans. We expect that growth in the commercial deposit base will further lower our cost of funds due to the nature of commercial deposits.

John B. Dicus, Chairman and CEO, stated, "As we progress through the fiscal year, we are seeing clear benefits from delivering the same high‑quality consumer experience while continuing to scale our commercial capabilities. Our technology and product investments are resonating with commercial clients today, with expanded enhancements for trust and wealth customers arriving this summer.

"Our strategic initiatives have improved our financial results and strengthened our capital position. This has directly benefited our stockholders by enabling the payment of dividends, including a special dividend paid in January 2026 in addition to quarterly dividends, and repurchases of our stock. We expect that these repurchases will continue as market opportunities present themselves."

Highlights for the current quarter include:

•net income of $20.1 million;

•net interest margin was 2.24%, an increase of five basis points from 2.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (the "prior quarter");

•basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.16;

•an efficiency ratio of 52.45%, an improvement from 53.66% the prior quarter;

•an operating expense ratio of 1.24%, unchanged from the prior quarter;

•paid dividends of $15.9 million, or $0.125 per share, including a $0.040 per share special dividend; and

•repurchased 2,155,481 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.16 per share.

Balance sheet highlights include:

•total assets of $9.83 billion at March 31, 2026;

•tangible book value per share of $7.96 at March 31, 2026;

•commercial loan growth of $201.8 million, or 19.1% annualized, since September 30, 2025;

•commercial deposit growth of $39.9 million, or 15.7% annualized, since September 30, 2025;

•distributed $53.0 million from the Bank to the Company during the six months ended March 31, 2026; and

•on April 28, 2026, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.085 per share, payable on May 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2026.

Strategic Banking Initiatives

Our strategic banking initiatives keep us focused on the progression towards becoming a full-service consumer and commercial bank. These initiatives have resulted in investments in technology, allowing us to launch new services and products. Our seasoned and well-connected commercial bankers and trust and wealth advisors deliver access to new customer groups. Our treasury management product suite enables us to deliver first-in-class service to new and existing customers. Our marketing and business development efforts continue to increase, deepen and broaden our customer relationships. The focus on our strategic banking initiatives continues to bear fruit and we expect that progress to continue.

Strategic Actions. The long-term success of our transition to a full-service consumer and commercial bank is predicated on strengthening relationships with consumer and commercial customers. Management and the Board are utilizing committed resources to implement our strategic objectives, as well as enhancing internal monitoring of performance metrics intended to ensure we are on the right path. Through our experienced relationship managers, we deliver customized solutions using advanced digital platforms and sophisticated cash management tools. We are leveraging our centralized organizational structure to respond quickly to our customers' needs and desires.

Commercial Lending. Commercial loans continue to grow as a percentage of our total loan portfolio, comprising 29% of the portfolio at March 31, 2026, compared to 28% and 26% at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Our disciplined underwriting, ongoing credit administration and monitoring of concentration levels by collateral type, geographic location and borrowing relationship allow us to maintain strong credit quality. Commercial lending utilizes loan pricing and profitability software that provides insights on lending opportunities based on the full customer banking relationship and market intelligence regarding competitor pricing. This enhances our ability to profitably compete with other financial institutions both inside and outside our market areas.

Treasury Management. The Bank offers a competitive suite of treasury management products to commercial customers who are supported by an experienced team of treasury management officers. This team is focused on the deposit and cash management needs of commercial customers and growing this line of business through the acquisition of new customers located in our local market areas, as well as those we lend to outside those areas. During the current fiscal year, a team of business development officers have been tasked with growing the deposit base within the small business customer segment and providing product lines specifically designed for these customers. Our treasury management officers and business development officers often create depository relationships with new customers independent of a lending relationship. We expect that this will be a focus area for our sales teams as the Bank continues to diversify funding sources and seeks to increase fee revenue tied to depository accounts. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Bank expects to introduce digital onboarding for small business customers using industry-leading risk management and screening tools, which will replace many manual verification tasks. We are evaluating additional technology in order to capture a larger share of this business with even more products and services. Within calendar year 2026, we expect to implement new technology for lockbox services and integrated accounts receivables. The Bank implemented new purchase cards and corporate cards in March 2026. Revenue stream projections have not yet been determined as customer acceptance rates are still being evaluated.

Digital Banking. We are advancing towards a seamless digital banking experience for all customers, enhancing the Bank's ability to attract and retain deposits and lower the cost to service our customers. This strategy includes a new deposit account onboarding platform and digital banking enhancements for debit cardholders, which will allow customers to begin using their card immediately online and in digital wallets without waiting for the delivery of a physical card. During the current quarter, the Bank successfully ran live pilots for this technology and published the mobile app to the app store. We are preparing for general release to our customers in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The Bank is taking advantage of fintech plug-in technologies that we expect will integrate into our digital banking experience for consumers, small businesses, and commercial customers.

Wealth Management. We have continued to implement enhanced private wealth management products and services, which is a new line of business for the Bank. Trust and financial advisory services are undergoing a transformational upgrade that we expect will lead to improved client and advisor experience, lowered overhead cost, and increased revenue. We are adding experienced advisors to our staff to meet the growing client demand in all the markets we serve.

We continue to expand our extensive suite of private banking products and services and grow our client base in this area. We believe that deliberate and meaningful growth in this line of business will be a gateway to driving revenue growth from off-balance sheet assets and bridge the gap between high-net-worth depository customers, small business owners and key commercial customers and create additional corporate trustee opportunities for the Bank.

Stockholder Value. Delivering long-term sustainable stockholder value continues to be our North Star while maintaining a strong capital position. As part of our historically robust and disciplined approach to capital management, we continue to generate returns to stockholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. At March 31, 2026, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding

company level, had $10.7 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. The Bank anticipates moving at least $25.0 million to the holding company during the quarter-ending June 30, 2026, to fund the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Total dividends paid during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $15.9 million, or $0.125 per share. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid dividends of $26.9 million, or $0.210 per share and repurchased 4,532,114 shares for $31.7 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 927,964 shares for $7.0 million through April 22, 2026. Since completing our second-step conversion in December 2010 through March 31, 2026, we have returned $2.06 billion to stockholders through $1.59 billion in cash dividends and $471.6 million in share repurchases. For the remainder of fiscal year 2026, it is the intention of the Board of Directors to continue the regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share and to seek further opportunities for value-enhancing share repurchases.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized net income of $20.1 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net income of $20.3 million, or $0.16 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The slight decrease in net income was due primarily to a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net interest income and lower non-interest expense. The net interest margin increased five basis points, from 2.19% for the prior quarter to 2.24% for the current quarter due to a decrease in the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter.

Interest and Dividend Income

The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, December 31, Change Expressed in:

2026 2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:

Loans receivable $ 89,323  $ 89,792  $ (469) (0.5 %)

Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") 10,853  11,341  (488) (4.3)

Cash and cash equivalents 2,474  2,773  (299) (10.8)

Federal Home Loan Bank Topeka ("FHLB") stock 1,858  2,032  (174) (8.6)

Investment securities 52  51  1  2.0

Total interest and dividend income $ 104,560  $ 105,989  $ (1,429) (1.3)

The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was mainly related to the commercial loan portfolio, largely due to two fewer calendar days during the current quarter, along with lower deferred fee recognition in the current quarter related to commercial loan payoff activity. The average balance of the commercial loan portfolio increased during the current quarter which partially offset the impact of the items noted above. The decrease in interest income on MBS was due to a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio compared to the prior quarter as not all of the portfolio repayments were reinvested back into the portfolio. The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average yield compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due primarily to a reduction in the Bank's balance of FHLB stock following the payoff of $200.0 million of maturing FHLB borrowings and repayments on amortizing FHLB borrowings, which reduced the Bank's required FHLB stock holdings.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, December 31, Change Expressed in:

2026 2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Deposits $ 36,299  $ 37,500  $ (1,201) (3.2 %)

Borrowings 15,995  17,172  (1,177) (6.9)

Total interest expense $ 52,294  $ 54,672  $ (2,378) (4.3)

The decrease in interest expense on deposits between periods was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of retail certificates of deposit and money market accounts compared to the prior quarter. The reduction in the cost of retail certificates of deposit was due to existing higher rate certificates of deposit renewing at lower rates and the decrease in the rate on money market accounts was due to management lowering the rates on some money market tiers during the current quarter. Interest expense on borrowings was lower compared to the prior quarter due to a decrease in the average balance, attributable mainly to FHLB borrowings that matured between periods and were not replaced. Deposit growth, along with cash flows from the securities portfolio, were used to repay these borrowings.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.4 million during the current quarter compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.1 million for the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses in the current quarter was comprised of a $2.1 million increase in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans and a $308 thousand increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The provision for credit losses in the current quarter was due primarily to establishing a $4.0 million specific valuation allowance related to a nonaccrual commercial lending relationship, partially offset by an increase in projected prepayment speeds for certain commercial loan categories and improvement between quarters in some of the commercial-related forecasted economic indices applied in the ACL model.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, December 31, Change Expressed in:

2026 2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

NON-INTEREST INCOME:

Deposit service fees $ 2,690  $ 2,872  $ (182) (6.3 %)

Income from bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") 1,151  965  186  19.3

Insurance commissions 512  789  (277) (35.1)

Other non-interest income 1,106  853  253  29.7

Total non-interest income $ 5,459  $ 5,479  $ (20) (0.4)

Income from BOLI was higher in the current quarter due primarily to the purchase of $45.0 million in BOLI policies during the current quarter. Insurance commissions were lower compared to the prior quarter due primarily to the receipt of commissions that were lower than accruals, along with insurance industry changes that continued to reduce income on certain lines of business. The increase in other non-interest income was due mainly to prepayment fees related to commercial loan payoffs during the current quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, December 31, Change Expressed in:

2026 2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE:

Salaries and employee benefits $ 15,828  $ 15,747  $ 81  0.5 %

Information technology and related expense 5,425  5,134  291  5.7

Occupancy, net 3,265  3,450  (185) (5.4)

Professional and other services 1,579  1,789  (210) (11.7)

Federal insurance premium 1,110  1,111  (1) (0.1)

Advertising and promotional 645  1,056  (411) (38.9)

Deposit and loan transaction costs 768  716  52  7.3

Office supplies and related expense 511  481  30  6.2

Other non-interest expense 1,143  992  151  15.2

Total non-interest expense $ 30,274  $ 30,476  $ (202) (0.7)

The decrease in professional and other services was due primarily to nonrecurring services in the prior quarter. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due primarily to the timing of marketing campaigns compared to the prior quarter.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 52.45% for the current quarter compared to 53.66% for the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution less money to generate revenue. The Company's operating expense ratio (annualized) for the current quarter was 1.24%, unchanged from the prior quarter. The operating expense ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets, providing insight into how efficiently the Company is managing its expenses in relation to its assets and does not take into consideration changes in interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

The following table presents pretax income, income tax expense, and net income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent and the effective tax rate.

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, December 31, Change Expressed in:

2026 2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

Income before income tax expense $ 25,079  $ 25,214  $ (135) (0.5 %)

Income tax expense 4,931  4,910  21  0.4

Net income $ 20,148  $ 20,304  $ (156) (0.8)

Effective tax rate 19.7 % 19.5 %

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

The Company recognized net income of $40.5 million, or $0.32 per share, for the current year period, compared to net income of $30.8 million, or $0.24 per share, for the prior year period. The increase in net income was due mainly to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expense and a higher provision for credit losses. The net interest margin increased 33 basis points, from 1.89% for the prior year period to 2.22% for the current year period. The increase was due mainly to growth in the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio. The net interest margin benefits associated with the reduction in the cost of deposits, largely related to a decrease in rates on the retail certificate of deposit portfolio, was more than offset by an increase in the average balance of the deposit portfolio, mainly due to growth in the high yield savings account.

Interest and Dividend Income

The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Six Months Ended

March 31, Change Expressed in:

2026   2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:

Loans receivable $ 179,115  $ 162,261  $ 16,854  10.4 %

MBS 22,194  22,288  (94) (0.4)

Cash and cash equivalents 5,247  4,600  647  14.1

FHLB stock 3,890  4,637  (747) (16.1)

Investment securities 103  2,011  (1,908) (94.9)

Total interest and dividend income $ 210,549  $ 195,797  $ 14,752  7.5

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due primarily to growth in the commercial loan portfolio, as cash flows from the one-to four-family loan portfolio continued to be redirected into the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased due to an increase in the average balance compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield. The increase in the average balance was driven primarily by carrying more cash during the current year period to support anticipated commercial loan activities and operational needs. The decrease in FHLB stock dividend income was due primarily to a reduction in the balance of FHLB stock due to paying off maturing FHLB borrowings between periods and repayments on amortizing FHLB borrowings, which reduced the Bank's required FHLB stock holdings. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a lower average balance, due mainly to securities that were called or matured between periods and were not replaced in their entirety.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

For the Six Months Ended

March 31, Change Expressed in:

2026   2025   Dollars   Percent

(Dollars in thousands)

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Deposits $ 73,799  $ 73,198  $ 601  0.8 %

Borrowings 33,167  36,529  (3,362) (9.2)

Total interest expense $ 106,966  $ 109,727  $ (2,761) (2.5)

Interest expense on deposits was higher during the current year period due primarily to growth in the Bank's high yield savings account offering, partially offset by a decrease in the cost of retail certificates of deposit. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a decrease in the average balance, which was partially offset by a higher weighted average interest rate. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was due mainly to FHLB borrowings that matured between periods and were not renewed, along with continued repayments on amortizing FHLB advances. Cash flows from the deposit portfolio were used, in part, to pay off maturing FHLB borrowings and repay amortizing FHLB advances. The increase in the weighted average interest rate was due primarily to FHLB borrowings that matured and were renewed between periods to market interest rates higher than the overall portfolio rate, along with paying off lower rate advances that matured between periods, which increased the overall interest rate of the remaining FHLB advances.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.5 million during the current year period compared to a provision for credit losses of $677 thousand for the prior year period. The provision for credit losses in the current year period was due primarily to establishing a $4.0 million specific valuation allowance related to a nonaccrual commercial lending relationship, along with commercial loan/commitment growth, partially offset by improvement between periods in some of the commercial-related forecasted economic indices applied in the ACL model.

NON-INTEREST INCOME:

Deposit service fees $ 5,562  $ 5,303  $ 259  4.9 %

Income from BOLI 2,116  1,295  821  63.4

Insurance commissions 1,301  1,703  (402) (23.6)

Total non-interest income $ 10,938  $ 9,646  $ 1,292  13.4

Income from BOLI was higher in the current year period due mainly to a change in rates and an increase in the crediting rate as a result of updates to certain policies that were executed in the second half of the prior fiscal year, along with $45.0 million in new BOLI policies being purchased during the current year period. Insurance commissions were lower compared to the prior year period due primarily to contingent commissions, specifically, contingent commissions received versus accrued in the current year compared to the prior year, along with a reduction in income in the current year period related to personal lines of business caused by some carriers imposing underwriting restrictions in our market areas. Recently, several carriers began to ease their restrictions in our market areas, which should improve our income opportunities. Other non-interest income was higher in the current year period due mainly to higher commercial loan fee activity.

Total non-interest expense $ 60,750  $ 56,688  $ 4,062  7.2

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to an increase in full-time equivalent employees between periods, as well as merit increases and salary adjustments to remain market competitive. The increase in information technology and related expense was due mainly to an increase in software licensing expense related to new agreements and applications. The increase in professional and other services was due primarily to an increase in new relationships with outside service providers and additional services provided by current providers, of which approximately $325 thousand is not expected to recur in future periods. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due mainly to higher customer fraud losses in the prior year period.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 53.05% for the current year period compared to 59.23% for the prior year period. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher net interest income compared to the prior year period, partially offset by higher non-interest expense. The Company's operating expense ratio (annualized) for the current year period was 1.24% compared to 1.18% for the prior year period. The operating expense ratio was higher in the current year period due mainly to higher non-interest expense, partially offset by higher average assets compared to the prior year period.

The loan portfolio decreased $62.5 million during the current quarter as the one- to four-family loan portfolio decreased $98.2 million from the prior quarter-end, partially offset by commercial loan growth of $39.1 million, or a 1.7% increase, mainly in the commercial real estate portfolio. The Bank expects to fund approximately $60.0 million of undisbursed amounts on existing commercial real estate and commercial construction loans and approximately $84.4 million of commercial real estate and commercial construction commitments during the June 30, 2026 quarter. The near-term outlook for net commercial loan balances is growth of approximately 6% for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, with overall net commercial loan growth of approximately 20% for the fiscal year. Total loans receivable, net is anticipated to increase by approximately 1% for the current fiscal year. It is expected that repayments from our one- to four-family loan portfolio will continue to be directed toward supporting commercial loan growth, aligning with our ongoing commitment to expand commercial banking services. Maintaining strong credit quality remains a top priority as we expand our commercial loan portfolio. The weighted average debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") for commercial loan originations during the current quarter was 1.86x and the weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") for commercial real estate and construction loans originated was 63%. The weighted average DSCR and LTV for our commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios was 1.76x and 63%, respectively, at March 31, 2026.

Deposits increased $165.9 million during the current quarter due mainly to an increase in the Bank's retail non-maturity deposits. Borrowings decreased $122.9 million from December 31, 2025, due to the maturity of $100.0 million in borrowings that were not replaced, along with principal repayments made on the Bank's amortizing FHLB advances. Cash flows from the deposit portfolio were primarily used to pay down the borrowings during the current quarter. Management estimates that the Bank had $4.35 billion in liquidity available at March 31, 2026, based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB, available brokered and public unit deposit capacity, unencumbered securities, and cash and cash equivalent balances.

The loan portfolio increased $2.2 million from September 30, 2025, which was attributable to a $201.8 million increase in commercial loans, offset by a $196.8 million decrease in one- to four-family loans, as the Bank continued to redirect cash flows from the one- to

8

four-family loan portfolio to the commercial loan portfolio. The growth in the commercial loan portfolio was primarily in commercial real estate loans. The weighted average DSCR for commercial loan originations/participations during the six months ended March 31, 2026 was 2.35x and the weighted average LTV for commercial real estate and construction loan originations/participations was 70%.

Deposits increased $333.0 million from September 30, 2025, due mainly to an increase in non-maturity deposits. Management continues to focus on growing commercial relationships and deposits. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, commercial non-interest-bearing deposits increased $36.1 million, or 18.9%. Borrowings decreased $243.7 million during the current year period due primarily to the maturity of $200.0 million of borrowings that were not replaced, along with principal repayments made on the Bank's amortizing FHLB advances.

The following table summarizes loan originations and participations, deposit activity, and borrowing activity, along with certain related weighted average rates, during the periods indicated. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer. The new borrowings during the periods presented related to the prepayment of existing borrowings to lower rates.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity totaled $1.03 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $22.0 million from September 30, 2025. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization that delivers long-term stockholder value, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. As of March 31, 2026, all of the Bank's capital ratios exceeded the well-capitalized requirements, and the Bank exceeded internal policy thresholds for sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank's community bank leverage ratio was 9.5%.

During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 4,532,114 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.00 per share, or $31.7 million in total. Subsequent to March 31, 2026 through April 22, 2026, the Company repurchased 927,964 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.54 per share, or $7.0 million in total, bringing total share repurchases during fiscal year 2026 through April 22, 2026 to 5,460,078 shares for $38.7 million. The Company intends to opportunistically repurchase stock from time to time depending upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. Although our existing repurchase plan has no expiration date, we are required to annually seek the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's ("FRB") non-objection for the buyback amount. The FRB's current non-objection for the Company to repurchase up to $75 million of stock expires in February 2027. As of April 22, 2026, the Company had $32.4 million remaining authorized under its existing stock repurchase plan.

During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $26.9 million, or $0.210 per share, which consisted of a $0.040 per share special cash dividend and two regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.085 each, totaling $0.170 per share. On April 28, 2026, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $10.6 million, payable on May 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2026. The special cash dividend paid in January 2026, in addition to the Company's history of regular quarterly dividends and opportunistic share repurchases,

demonstrates the Company's multi-channel focus on delivering stockholder value through disciplined capital allocation which balances investments in the future of the Company with incremental opportunities to return capital to stockholders. For the remainder of fiscal year 2026, it is the intention of the Company's Board of Directors to pay out a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, totaling $0.34 per share for the year. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital compliance, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, the Bank's current tax earnings and accumulated earnings and profits, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.

The Board of Directors continues to evaluate various alternatives for capital allocation to enhance stockholder value, including the repurchase of stock, the payment of additional cash dividends, or retaining earnings to support future growth. Since our second-step conversion in December 2010 through March 31, 2026, we have returned $2.06 billion in capital to stockholders through dividends totaling $1.59 billion and stock repurchases totaling $471.6 million. This is supported by our holistic approach to managing the balance sheet through continuous modeling of the Bank's performance, risk management, our commitment to credit quality and periodic stress testing.

At March 31, 2026, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $10.7 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Bank distributed $53.0 million from the Bank to the Company. It is the intention of the Bank to move at least $25.0 million of cash from the Bank to the holding company during the June 2026 quarter. The Bank is expected to remain in a positive tax accumulated earnings and profit balance during fiscal year 2026. Earnings distributions from the Bank to the Company will be limited to the extent necessary to prevent the Bank from re-entering a negative accumulated earnings and profit position and having to pay the pre-1988 bad debt recapture tax on earnings moved from the Bank to the Company.

The following table presents a reconciliation of total to net shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026. As of April 22, 2026, total shares outstanding were 126,760,727.

(1)Balances are adjusted for unearned loan fees and deferred costs. Loans that are 90 or more days delinquent are included in the loans receivable average balance with a yield of zero percent.

(2)AFS security yields are based upon amortized cost which is adjusted for premiums and discounts.

(3)Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

(4)Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Management believes the net interest margin is important to investors as it is a profitability measure for financial institutions.

(5)Return on average assets represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average assets. Management believes that the return on average assets is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average assets.

(6)Return on average equity represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average equity. Management believes that the return on average equity is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average equity.

(7)The operating expense ratio represents annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets. Management believes the operating expense ratio is important to investors as it provides insight into how efficiently the Company is managing its expenses in relation to its assets. It is a financial measurement ratio that does not take into consideration changes in interest rates.

(8)The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. Management believes the efficiency ratio is important to investors as it is a measure of a financial institution's cost to generate income. A lower value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution less money to generate revenue, related to its net interest margin and non-interest income.

Commercial Loans: The tables below summarize commercial loan origination and participation activity for the time periods presented, along with weighted average LTV and weighted average DSCR. For commercial real estate and commercial construction loans, the LTV is calculated using the gross loan amount (comprised of unpaid principal and undisbursed amounts) and the collateral value at the time of origination. For existing real estate, the "as is" value is used. If the property is to be constructed, the "as completed" value of the collateral is utilized. The DSCR is calculated based on historical borrower performance, or projected borrower performance for newly formed entities with no performance history.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans by unpaid principal balance, aggregated by type of primary collateral and state, along with weighted average LTV and weighted average DSCR as of March 31, 2026. The LTV is calculated using the gross loan amount (composed of unpaid principal and undisbursed amounts) as of March 31, 2026 and the most current collateral value available, which is most often the value at origination/purchase. The DSCR is calculated at the time of origination and is updated at the time of subsequent loan renewals, financial reviews (for applicable loans and lending relationships), and any other time management is aware of changes that may impact the DSCR. The DSCR presented in the table below is based on the DSCR at the time of origination unless an updated DSCR has been calculated or the loan has reached the end of its stabilization period. In general, commercial borrowers with total loans of $2.5 million or more are reviewed at least annually to monitor financial performance.

For amounts over $60.0 million, there was $151.8 million for loans related to hotels in Arizona and California, $143.1 million for loans related to multi-family properties in Kansas, and $69.6 million related to a loan secured by a senior housing facility in Kansas. The largest loan included in the table below was $86.0 million, which was fully disbursed as of March 31, 2026, and is collateralized by a hotel in Arizona. Included in the >$20 to $30 million category are five loans with DSCRs below 1.15x. Of those five loans, four of the loans, for $99.3 million, are with three of our largest borrowing groups. We have over 20 years of experience with these borrowing groups and the guarantors have expertise in the operation of the properties securing the loans. All of these loans were current as of March 31, 2026 and are being actively monitored by management. The weighted average LTV for these four loans was 68% as of March 31, 2026. The fifth loan, for $24.3 million, was on nonaccrual and classified as substandard as of March 31, 2026. A specific valuation allowance was established related to this loan as of March 31, 2026.

The following table presents the amortized cost of loans classified as special mention or substandard at the dates presented. The decrease in commercial real estate special mention loans at March 31, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025 was due mainly to a hotel participation loan being upgraded to pass due to an improvement in the hotel's financial results. The majority of the substandard commercial real estate loan balance for the periods presented in the table below relates to one borrowing relationship. During the current quarter, an updated appraisal was received related to the collateral securing the lending relationship. The updated appraisal was lower than the appraisal received approximately a year ago and as a result, a $4.0 million specific valuation allowance was recorded as of March 31, 2026 related to this lending relationship. The loans associated with this lending relationship were on nonaccrual at the dates presented in the table below.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The Bank utilizes a discounted cash flow model for estimating expected credit losses for pooled loans and loan commitments. Expected credit losses are determined by calculating projected future loss rates, which are dependent upon forecasted economic indices, and applying qualitative factors when deemed appropriate by management. At March 31, 2026, management applied qualitative factors to account for large dollar commercial real estate loan concentrations and potential risk of loss in market value for newer one- to four-family loans. These qualitative factors were applied to account for credit risks not fully reflected in the discounted cash flow model.

The Company's commercial real estate loans generally have low LTVs and strong DSCRs, which serve as indicators that losses in the commercial real estate loan portfolio might be unlikely; however, because there is uncertainty surrounding the nature, timing, and amount of expected losses, management believes that in the event of a realized loss within the large dollar commercial real estate loan pool, the magnitude of such a loss could be significant. The large dollar commercial real estate loan concentration qualitative factor addresses the risks associated with large dollar relationships. As part of its analysis, management considered external data, including historical commercial real estate price index trending information, from a variety of sources to help determine the amount of this qualitative factor.

For one- to four-family loans, management believes there is a risk of loss in market value in an economic downturn related to, in particular, newer originations where property values have not experienced price appreciation, as compared to more seasoned loans in our portfolio, and applied a qualitative factor to account for this risk. To determine the appropriate amount of the one- to four-family loan qualitative factor as of March 31, 2026, management considered external historical home price index trending information, along with historical loan loss experience, and portfolio balance trending, the one-to four-family loan portfolio composition with regard to loan size, and management's knowledge of the Bank's loan portfolio and the one- to four-family lending industry.

The distribution of our ACL and the ratio of ACL to loans receivable, by loan type, at the dates indicated is summarized below. The increase in the ACL to loans receivable ratio as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was due primarily to establishing a $4.0 million specific valuation related to a commercial real estate lending relationship discussed above. Based on management's evaluation of the credit risk within the Bank's commercial loan portfolio, taking into consideration DSCRs and LTVs, management believes the Bank's ACL ratio for commercial loans is appropriate for the credit risk. See additional discussion regarding the Bank's commercial loan DSCRs and LTVs in the "Loan Portfolio - Commercial Loans" section above.

Historically, the Bank has maintained very low delinquency ratios and net charge-off rates. Over the past two years, the Bank's highest ratio of commercial loans 90 days or more delinquent to total commercial loans at a quarter end was 0.22%. The highest such ratio for one- to four-family originated and correspondent loans, combined, was 0.17%. During the 10-year period ended March 31, 2026, the Bank recognized $904 thousand of total net charge-offs. As of March 31, 2026, the ACL balance was $26.6 million and the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $6.3 million, which management believes is adequate for the credit risk characteristics in our loan portfolio.

Deposit Portfolio

The following table presents the amount, weighted average rate, and percent of total for the components of our deposit portfolio at the dates presented. The decrease in the deposit portfolio rate as of March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in retail checking accounts, a reduction in the rate on retail money market accounts, and a decrease in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio rate. The decrease in the deposit portfolio rate as of March 31, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025 was due mainly to a decrease in the rate paid on retail certificates of deposit and retail money market accounts, along with an increase in the balance of retail checking accounts and commercial non-interest bearing checking account.

During the current quarter, the Bank prepaid $375.0 million of fixed-rate advances with a weighted average effective rate of 4.36% and a WAM of 0.9 years and replaced them with $375.0 million of fixed-rate advances with a weighted average effective rate of 3.81% and a WAM of 2.4 years. This transaction resulted in prepayment fees of $2.1 million, which will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the new FHLB advances. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Bank prepaid a $50.0 million fixed-rate advance with a weighted average effective rate of 4.03% and a WAM of 0.5 years and replaced it with a $50.0 million fixed-rate advance with a weighted average effective rate of 3.64% and a WAM of 2.0 years. This transaction resulted in prepayment fees of $11 thousand, which will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the new FHLB advance. These prepayment activities are reflected in the table above. Management will continue to monitor opportunities for wholesale funding and may pay down FHLB advances in future periods. The Bank may also renew certain fixed-rate advances in the future using adjustable-rate advances in order to better match the repricing characteristics of its increasing commercial loan portfolio.

Average Rates and Lives

At March 31, 2026, the gap between the amounts of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to mature or reprice within one year was $(792.4) million, or (8.1%) of total assets, compared to $(1.23) billion, or (12.6%) of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The change in the one-year gap amount was due to both a decrease in the amount of projected interest-bearing liability cash flows coming due in one year as well as to a net increase in the amount of interest-earning assets for the same time period. The decrease in liability cash flows was primarily related to the Bank's wholesale borrowings portfolio as $375.0 million of fixed-rate FHLB advances were prepaid during the current quarter, which extended the weighted average remaining terms, and the Bank also repaid a $100.0 million advance that matured during the current quarter. The net increase in projected asset cash flows was due to increases in the balance of cash and commercial loans projected to mature or reprice within one year.

The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period is not typically significantly impacted by changes in interest rates because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of March 31, 2026, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(1.01) billion, or (10.3)% of total assets. If interest rates were to decrease 200 basis points, as of March 31, 2026, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(354.9) million, or (3.6)% of total assets. The changes in the gap amounts compared to when there is no change in rates was due to changes in the anticipated net cash flows primarily as a result of projected prepayments on mortgage-related assets in each rate environment. In higher rate environments, prepayments on mortgage-related assets are projected to be lower, and in lower rate environments, prepayments are projected to be higher.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2026. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the impact of the interest rate swap and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAL presented for term borrowings includes the effect of the interest rate swap.
