BOFI HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BofI Holding, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, BofI Federal Bank (the “Bank” and collectively with BofI Holding, Inc., the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to make them consistent with the current period presentation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended June 30, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Securities . Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has both the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Trading securities refer to certain types of assets that banks hold for resale at a profit or when the Company elects to account for certain securities at fair value. Increases or decreases in the fair value of trading securities are recognized in earnings as they occur. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Gains and losses on securities sales are based on a comparison of sales proceeds and the amortized cost of the security sold using the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recognized on the trade date. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized or accreted using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. The Company’s portfolios of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are reviewed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairment. In performing this review, management considers (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4) how to record an impairment by assessing whether the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before the Company recovers the security’s amortized cost. If either of these criteria for (4) is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in earnings. Alternatively, if the criteria for (4) is not met, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.
Loans and Leases . Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan origination fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Premiums and discounts on loans purchased as well as loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method.
The Company provides equipment financing to its customers through a variety of lease arrangements. The most common arrangement is a direct financing (capital) lease. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet but the leased property is not, although the Company generally retains legal title to the leased property until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized over the weighted average life of the lease portfolio. Leases acquired in an acquisition are initially measured and recorded at their

6


fair value on the acquisition date. Purchase discounts or premiums on acquired leases are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the leases using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related leases are paid off. Direct financing leases are subject to our allowance for loans and leases.
Recognition of interest income on all portfolio segments is generally discontinued at the time the loan or lease is 90 days delinquent unless the loan or lease is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan or lease. In all cases, loans or leases are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans or leases placed on nonaccrual, is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans or leases is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans and leases are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Loans Held for Sale. U.S government agency (“agency”) loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses are recognized through the income statement. The Bank sells its mortgage loans with either servicing released or servicing retained depending upon market pricing. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded as mortgage banking income, based on the difference between sales proceeds and carrying value. Non-agency loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.
Loans that were originated with the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future (loans held in portfolio) but which have been subsequently designated as being held for sale for risk management or liquidity needs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value calculated on an individual loan by loan basis.
There may be times when loans have been classified as held for sale and for some reason cannot be sold. Loans transferred to a long-term-investment classification from held-for-sale are transferred at the lower of cost or market value on the transfer date. Any difference between the carrying amount of the loan and its outstanding principal balance is recognized as an adjustment to yield by the interest method. A loan cannot be classified as a long-term investment unless the Bank has both the ability and the intent to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level estimated to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on reviews of individual loans and leases and pools of loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan and lease losses, which is charged against current period operating results and recoveries of loans previously charged-off. The allowance is decreased by the amount of charge-offs of loans deemed uncollectible. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. See Note 5 of these financial statement footnotes and the financial statement footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Brand Partnership Products. The Bank has agreements with H&R Block, Inc. (“H&R Block”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries that allow the Bank to provide H&R Block-branded financial products and services. The products and services that represent the primary focus and the majority of transactional volume that the Bank processes are described in detail below.
The first product is Emerald Prepaid Mastercard® services (“EPC”). The Bank entered into agreements to offer this product in August 2015. Under the agreements, the Bank is responsible for the primary oversight and control of the prepaid card programs of a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&R Block. The Bank holds the prepaid card customer deposits for those cards issued under the prepaid programs in non-interest bearing accounts and earns a fixed fee paid by H&R Block’s subsidiary for each automated clearing house (“ACH”) transaction processed through the prepaid card customer accounts. A portion of H&R Block’s customers use the Emerald Card as an option to receive federal and state income tax refunds. The prepaid customer deposits are included in non-interest bearing deposit liabilities on the balance sheet of the Company and the ACH fee income is included in the income statement under the line banking service fees and other income.
The second product is Refund Transfer (“RT”). The Bank entered into agreements to offer this product in August 2015. The Bank is responsible for the primary oversight and control of the refund transfer program of a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&R Block. The Bank opens a temporary bank account for each H&R Block customer who is receiving an income tax refund and elects to defer payment of his or her tax preparation fees. After the Internal Revenue Service and any state income tax authorities transfer the refund into the customer’s account, the net funds are transferred to the customer and the temporary deposit account is closed. The Bank earns a fixed fee paid by H&R Block for each of the H&R Block customers electing a Refund Transfer. The fees are

7


earned primarily in the quarters ending March 31st and are included in the income statement under the line banking service fees and other income.
The third product is Emerald Advance. The Bank entered into agreements to offer this product in August 2015. Under the agreements the Bank is responsible for the underwriting guidelines and credit policies for unsecured consumer lines of credit offered to H&R Block customers. The Bank offers and funds unsecured lines of credit to consumers primarily through the H&R Block tax preparation offices and earns interest income and fee income. The Bank retains 10% of the Emerald Advance and sells the remainder to H&R Block. The lines of credit are included in loans and leases on the balance sheet of the Company and the interest income and fee income are included in the income statement under the line loans and leases interest and dividend income.
The fourth product is an interest-free Refund Advance loan. The Bank will exclusively originate and fund all of H&R Block’s interest-free Refund Advance loans to tax preparation clients for the 2018 tax season. The Bank will perform the credit underwriting, loan origination, funding, and loan servicing associated with the interest-free Refund Advance loan in the upcoming tax season and receive fees from H&R Block for providing those services. This agreement is an expansion of the services BofI provided to H&R Block in the 2017 tax season when the Bank participated through purchases of the loans with other providers in the Refund Advance loan program. The Bank will be originating these interest-free loans to customers and the income generated from H&R Block will show on the income statement through the banking and service fees category of non-interest income.
The H&R Block-branded financial services products introduce seasonality into the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements through the banking and service fees category of non-interest income and the other general and administrative category of non-interest expense, with the peak income and expense in these categories typically occurring during our third fiscal quarter ending March 31.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several areas of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including tax provision, classification in the cash-flow statement, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements. Under ASU 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement during the period in which they occur. Previously, such amounts were recorded in the pool of excess tax benefits included in additional paid-in capital, if such pool was available. Because excess tax benefits are no longer recognized in additional paid-in capital, the assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method when computing earnings per share should exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would have previously been recognized in additional paid-in capital. Additionally, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity rather than a financing activity, as was previously the case. ASU 2016-09 also provides that an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 changes the threshold to qualify for equity classification (rather than as a liability) to permit withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. The adoption at July 1, 2017 of ASU 2016-09 did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FAIR VALUE

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are actively traded in an exchange or over-the-counter market and are highly liquid, such as, among other assets and securities, certain U.S. treasury and other U.S. government debt.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets include securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined

8


using pricing models such as discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
When available, the Company generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is available, the Company will make use of acceptable practical expedients (such as matrix pricing) to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.
The Company considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the nature of the participants are some of the factors the Company uses to help determine whether a market is active and orderly or inactive and not orderly. Price quotes based upon transactions that are not orderly are not considered to be determinative of fair value and should be given little, if any, weight in measuring fair value.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, credit spreads, housing value forecasts, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified:
Securities—trading, available-for-sale, and held-to-maturity . Trading securities are recorded at fair value. Available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities are recorded at fair value and consist of residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) issued by U.S. agencies, non-agencies, collateralized loan obligations, and municipals. Held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities are recorded at amortized cost. Fair value for U.S. agency securities is generally based on quoted market prices of similar securities used to form a dealer quote or a pricing matrix. There continues to be significant illiquidity in the market for RMBS issued by non-agencies, impacting the availability and reliability of transparent pricing. As orderly quoted market prices are not available, the Level 3 fair values for these securities are determined by the Company utilizing industry-standard tools to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows available to the securities from the underlying mortgage assets. The Company computes Level 3 fair values for each non-agency RMBS in the same manner (as described below) whether available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.
To determine the performance of the underlying mortgage loan pools, the Company estimates prepayments, defaults, and loss severities based on a number of macroeconomic factors, including housing price changes, unemployment rates, interest rates and borrower attributes such as credit score and loan documentation at the time of origination. For each security, the Company inputs a projection of monthly default rates, loss severity rates and voluntary prepayment rates for the underlying mortgages for the remaining life of each security to determine the expected cash flows. The projections of default rates are derived by the Company from the historic default rate observed in the pool of loans collateralizing the security, increased by and decreased by the forecasted increase or decrease in the national unemployment rate. The projections of loss severity rates are derived by the Company from the historic loss severity rate observed in the pool of loans, increased by (and decreased by) the forecasted decrease or increase in the national home price appreciation (“HPA”) index. The largest factors influencing the Company’s modeling of the monthly default rate are unemployment and HPA, as a strong correlation exists. The national unemployment rate announced prior to the end of the period covered by this report (reported for August 2017) was 4.4% , down from the high of 10.0% in October 2009. Going forward, the Company is projecting lower monthly default rates. The range of loss severity rates applied to each default used in the Company’s projections at September 30, 2017 are from 40.0% up to 68.5% based upon individual bond historical performance. The default rates and the severities are projected for every non-agency RMBS security held by the Company and will vary monthly based upon the actual performance of the security and the macroeconomic factors discussed above.
To determine the discount rates used to compute the present value of the expected cash flows for these non-agency RMBS securities, the Company separates the securities by the borrower characteristics in the underlying pool. Specifically, “prime” securities generally have borrowers with higher FICO scores and better documentation of income. “Alt-A” securities generally have borrowers with a lower FICO and less documentation of income. “Pay-option ARMs” are Alt-A securities with borrowers that tend to pay the least amount of principal (or increase their loan balance through negative amortization). The Company calculates separate discount rates for prime, Alt-A and Pay-option ARM non-agency RMBS securities using market-participant assumptions for risk, capital and return on equity. The range of annual default rates used in the Company’s projections at September 30, 2017 are from 1.5% up to 14.1% with prime securities tending toward the lower end of the range and Alt-A and Pay-option ARMs tending toward the higher end of the range. The Company applies its discount rates to the projected monthly cash flows which already reflect the full impact of all forecasted losses using the assumptions described above. When calculating present value of the expected cash flows at September 30, 2017 , the Company computed its discount rates as a spread between 260 and 633 basis points over the interpolated swap curve with prime securities tending toward the lower end of the range and Alt-A and Pay-option ARMs tending toward the higher end of the range.

9


The Bank’s estimate of fair value for non-agency securities using Level 3 pricing is highly subjective and is based on the Bank’s estimate of voluntary prepayments, default rates, severities and discount margins, which are forecasted monthly over the remaining life of the security. Changes in one or more of these assumptions can cause a significant change in the estimated fair value. For further details see the table later in this note that summarizes quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale at fair value are primarily single-family and multifamily residential loans. The fair value of residential loans held for sale is determined by pricing for comparable assets or by existing forward sales commitment prices with investors.
Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrowers or the collateral pledged. The accrual of interest income has been discontinued for impaired loans. The impaired loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The Company assesses loans individually and identifies impairment when the loan is classified as impaired, has been restructured, or management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of principal and interest, even though the loans may currently be performing. The fair value of an impaired loan is determined based on an observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of impaired loans with specific write-offs or allocations of the allowance for loan losses are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or internal valuation analyses consistent with the methodology used in real estate appraisals and include other third-party valuations and analysis of cash flows. These appraisals and analyses are updated at least on an annual basis. The Company primarily obtains real estate appraisals and in the rare cases where an appraisal cannot be obtained, the Company performs an internal valuation analysis. These appraisals and analyses may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and income approaches. The sales comparison approach uses at least three recent similar property sales to help determine the fair value of the property being appraised. The income approach is calculated by taking the net operating income generated by the collateral property of the rent collected and dividing it by an assumed capitalization rate. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the appraisers to account for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. When measuring the fair value of the impaired loan based upon the projected sale of the underlying collateral, the Company subtracts the costs expected to be incurred for the transfer of the underlying collateral, which includes items such as sales commissions, delinquent taxes and insurance premiums. These adjustments to the estimated fair value of non-performing loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in current earnings. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification for the inputs for determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Vehicles . Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company initially records all mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) at fair value and accounts for MSRs at fair value during the life of the MSR, with changes in fair value recorded through current period earnings. Fair value adjustments encompass market-driven valuation changes as well as modeled amortization involving the run-off of value that occurs due to the passage of time as individual loans are paid by borrowers. Market expectations about loan duration, and correspondingly the expected term of future servicing cash flows, may vary from time to time due to changes in expected prepayment activity, especially when interest rates rise or fall. Market expectations of increased loan prepayment speeds may negatively impact the fair value of the single family MSRs. Fair value is also dependent on the discount rate used in calculating present value, which is imputed from observable market activity and market participants and results in Level 3 classification. Management reviews and adjusts the discount rate on an ongoing basis. An increase in the discount rate would reduce the estimated fair value of the MSRs asset.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives. Fair value for mortgage banking derivatives are either based upon prices in active secondary markets for identical securities or based on quoted market prices of similar assets used to form a dealer quote or a pricing matrix. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a commitment is determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific attributes of each commitment. These fair values are then adjusted for items such as fallout and estimated costs to originate the loan.

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with or, in some cases, more conservative than other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the relevant reporting date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities are prepayment rates, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows: Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt and for variable rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. A discussion of the methods of valuing trading securities, available for sale securities and loans held for sale can be found earlier in this footnote. The carrying amount of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) approximates the estimated fair value of this investment. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.

Private sponsors of securities collateralized primarily by pools of 1-4 family residential first mortgages. Primarily super senior securities secured by prime, Alt-A or pay-option ARM mortgages.

The Company’s non-agency RMBS available-for-sale portfolio with a total fair value of $66,619 at September 30, 2017 consists of thirty-eight different issues of super senior securities with a fair value of $65,893 , two mezzanine z-tranche securities, negative-amortizing support tranches, with a fair value of $8 collateralized by seasoned prime and Alt-A first-lien mortgages and one senior support security that it acquired at a significant discount that evidenced credit deterioration at acquisition, with a fair value of $718 . The Company acquired its mezzanine z-tranche securities in fiscal 2010 and accounts for them by measuring the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the purchase price (accretable yield) and recognizes interest income over the remaining life of the security.

Debt securities with evidence of credit quality deterioration since issuance and for which it is probable at purchase that the Company will be unable to collect all of the par value of the security are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC Topic 310-30”). Under ASC Topic 310-30, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the purchase price is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the security. The Company has one senior support security that it acquired at a significant discount that evidenced credit deterioration at acquisition and is accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30. For a cost of $17,740 the Company acquired the senior support security with a contractual par value of $30,560 and accretable and non-accretable discounts that were projected to be $9,015 and $3,805 , respectively. Since acquisition, repayments from the security have been received more rapidly than projected at acquisition, but expected total payments have declined, resulting in a determination that the security was other-than-temporarily impaired. The security realized an other-than-temporary loss of $149 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a $1,461 charge was recorded for the fiscal 2017 year. At September 30, 2017 the security had a remaining contractual par value of zero and amortizable and non-amortizable premium are currently projected to be zero and $861 , respectively.

At September 30, 2017 , non-agency RMBS with a total carrying amount of $40,029 were determined to have cumulative credit losses of $15,677 of which $149 was recognized in earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2017 . This quarter’s other-than-temporary impairment of $149 is related to one non-agency RMBS with a total carrying amount of $718 . The Company measures its non-agency RMBS in an unrecognized loss position at the end of the reporting period for other-than-temporary impairment by comparing the present value of the cash flows currently expected to be collected from the security with its amortized cost basis. If the calculated present value is lower than the amortized cost, the difference is the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of its debt securities. The excess of present value over the fair value of the security (if any) is the non-credit component only if the Company does not intend to sell the security and will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recorded as a loss in earnings and the non-credit component as a charge to other comprehensive income, net of the related income tax benefit.
To determine the cash flow expected to be collected and to calculate the present value for purposes of testing for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company utilizes the same industry-standard tool and the same cash flows as those calculated for Level 3 fair values as discussed in Note 3 – Fair Value. The discount rates used to compute the present value of the expected cash flows for purposes of testing for the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment are either the implicit rate calculated in each of the Company’s securities at acquisition or the last accounting yield. The Company calculates the implicit rate at acquisition based on the contractual terms of the security, considering scheduled payments (and minimum payments in the case of pay-option ARMs) without prepayment assumptions. Once the discount rate (or discount margin in the case of floating rate securities) is calculated as described above, the discount is used in the industry-standard model to calculate the present value of the cash flows.
Total proceeds of $8,700 and net realized gains of $282 were realized from the sale of trading securities during the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The gross gains and losses realized through earnings upon the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

The balance of single family warehouse loans was $204,494 at September 30, 2017 and $187,034 at June 30, 2017 . The remainder of the balance was attributable to single family real estate secured commercial specialty and lender finance loans.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. We are committed to maintaining the allowance for loan and lease losses (sometimes referred to as the “allowance”) at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated probable incurred credit losses in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While the Company believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate at September 30, 2017 , future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss Disclosures. The assessment of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses is based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and nonaccrual loans and leases, change in volume and mix of loans and leases, collateral values and charge-off history.
The Company provides general loan loss reserves for its automobile (“auto”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) loans based upon the borrower credit score and the Company’s loss experience to date. The allowance for loan loss for the auto and RV loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 was determined by classifying each outstanding loan according to semi-annually refreshed FICO score and providing loss rates. The Company had $188,779 of auto and RV loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: FICO greater than or equal to 770: $93,829 ; 715 – 769: $63,753 ; 700 – 714: $15,378 ; 660 – 699: $14,179 and less than 660: $1,640 .
The Company provides general loan loss reserves for mortgage loans based upon the size and class of the mortgage loan and the loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) at date of origination. The Company divides the LTV analysis into two classes, separating the purchased loans from the loans underwritten directly by the Company. Based on historical performance, the Company concluded that originated loans require lower estimated loss rates than purchased loans. The allowance for each class is determined by dividing the outstanding unpaid balance for each loan by the loan-to-value and applying a loss rate. The LTV groupings for each significant mortgage class are as follows:
The Company had $3,878,998 of single family mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 60%: $2,155,261 ; 61% – 70%: $1,354,719 ; 71% – 80%: $368,822 ; and greater than 80%: $196 .
The Company had $1,605,881 of multifamily mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 55%: $791,834 ; 56% – 65%: $514,507 ; 66% – 75%: $289,329 ; 76% – 80%: $10,211 and greater than 80%: $0 .
The Company had $166,832 of commercial real estate loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 50%: $73,540 ; 51% – 60%: $36,204 ; 61% – 70%: $46,871 ; and 71% – 80%: $10,217 .
The Company’s commercial secured portfolio consists of business loans well-collateralized by residential real estate. The Company’s other portfolio consists of receivables factoring for businesses and consumers. The Company allocates its allowance for loan loss for these asset types based on qualitative factors which consider the value of the collateral and the financial position of the issuer of the receivables.

From time to time the Company modifies loan terms temporarily for borrowers who are experiencing financial stress. These loans are performing and accruing and will generally return to the original loan terms after the modification term expires.

Approximately 4.74% of our non-performing loans and leases at September 30, 2017 were considered TDRs, compared to 5.56% at June 30, 2017 . Borrowers that make timely payments after TDRs are considered non-performing for at least six months . Generally, after six months of timely payments, those TDRs are reclassified from the non-performing loan and lease category to the performing loan and lease category and any previously deferred interest income is recognized.

The Company classifies these loans as performing loans temporarily modified as TDR and are included in impaired loans and leases as follows:

The Company’s loan modifications primarily included single family, multifamily and commercial loans of which included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate or delinquent property taxes that were paid by the Bank and either repaid by the borrower over a one year period or capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. The Company’s loan modifications also included RV loans in which borrowers were able to make interest-only payments for a period of six months to one year which then reverted back to fully amortizing.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans and leases 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 loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases based on credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings.
Pass. Loans and leases classified as pass are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.
Special Mention . Loans and leases classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or lease or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard . Loans and leases classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases 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 and leases 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 existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
The Company reviews and grades loans and leases following a continuous review process, featuring coverage of all loan and lease types and business lines at least quarterly. Continuous reviewing provides more effective risk monitoring because it immediately tests for potential impacts caused by changes in personnel, policy, products or underwriting standards.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit-Related Financial Instruments . The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At September 30, 2017 , the Company had commitments to originate $94,838 in fixed rate loans and leases and $453,815 in variable rate loans, totaling an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $548,653 . Our fixed rate loan and lease commitments to originate had rates ranging from 1.83% to 7.66% . At September 30, 2017 , the Company also had commitments to sell $82,159 in fixed rate loans and $1,831 in variable rate loans, totaling an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $83,990 .
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Litigation. On October 15, 2015, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a putative class action lawsuit styled  Golden v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Golden Case”). On November 3, 2015, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a second putative class action lawsuit styled  Hazan v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and also brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Hazan Case”). On February 1, 2016, the Golden Case and the Hazan Case were consolidated as  In re BofI Holding, Inc. Securities Litigation , Case #: 3:15-cv-02324-GPC-KSC (the “First Class Action”), and the Houston Municipal Employees Pension System was appointed lead plaintiff. The First Class Action complaint was amended by a certain Consolidated Amended Class Complaint filed on April 11, 2016. On September 27, 2016, the Court dismissed the First Class Action, with leave to amend, as to defendants Andrew Micheletti, Paul Grinberg, Nicholas Mosich and James Argalas. The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss with respect to the Company and Gregory Garrabrants. On November 25, 2016, the putative class action plaintiff filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), which includes the previously dismissed defendants. On December 23, 2016, the Company and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss such Second Amended Complaint. On May 23, 2017, the Court granted in part and

32


denied in part the defendants; motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. On September 28, 2017, the Company and other defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which is currently pending. The First Class Action seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a complaint filed in connection with a wrongful termination of employment lawsuit filed on October 13, 2015 (the “Employment Matter”) and that as a result the Company’s statements regarding its internal controls, as well as portions of its financial statements, were false and misleading. The Company and the other defendants named in the Employment Matter dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiff in that case, including plaintiff’s statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending against the complaint filed in connection therewith. Moreover, the Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations advanced by the plaintiffs in the First Class Action and are vigorously defending against the Second Amended Complaint.
On April 3, 2017, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a putative class action lawsuit styled Mandalevy v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Mandalevy Case”). The Mandalevy Case seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The complaint in the Mandalevy Case (the “Mandalevy Complaint”) alleges a class period that differs from that alleged in the First Class Action, and that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a March 2017 media article . The Mandalevy Case has not been consolidated into the First Class Action. On June 2, 2017, lead plaintiff motions were filed on behalf of three members of the putative class and on July 17, 2017, the Company and other defendants filed an opposition to such motions. The Mandalevy Complaint has yet to be served upon the Company or the other named defendants. The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations advanced by the plaintiffs in the Mandalevy Case, and are vigorously defending against the Mandalevy Complaint.
The complaints filed in the Golden Case, the Hazan Case, and the Mandalevy Case allege that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose the wrongful conduct that is alleged in a complaint that was filed in a wrongful termination of employment lawsuit (the “Employment Matter”), and that as a result the Company’s statements regarding its internal controls, as well as portions of its financial statements, were false and misleading. The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiffs in the Class Action, the Mandalevy Case, and in the Employment Matter, as well as those plaintiffs’ statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending each case.
In addition to the First Class Action and the Mandalevy Case, two separate shareholder derivative actions were filed in December, 2015, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The first derivative action,  Calcaterra v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on December 3, 2015. The second derivative action,  Dow v. Micheletti, et al , was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on December 16, 2015. A third derivative action,  DeYoung v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 22, 2016, a fourth derivative action,  Yong v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 29, 2016, a fifth derivative action,  Laborers Pension Trust Fund of Northern Nevada v. Allrich et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on February 2, 2016, and a sixth derivative action, Garner v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on August 10, 2017. Each of these six derivative actions names the Company as a nominal defendant, and certain of its officers and directors as defendants. Each complaint sets forth allegations of breaches of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and unjust enrichment against the defendant officers and directors. The plaintiffs in these derivative actions seek damages in unspecified amounts on the Company’s behalf from the officer and director defendants, certain corporate governance actions, and an award of their costs and attorney’s fees.
On June 9, 2016, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California ordered the four above-referenced cases pending before it to be consolidated, appointed lead counsel in the consolidated action, and ordered the parties to meet and confer regarding a schedule for the filing of a consolidated complaint and defendants’ response to the complaint. Pursuant to the June 9, 2016 order, counsel have met and conferred regarding proposals for (a) the time for plaintiffs to file a consolidated complaint or provide notice of plaintiffs’ intent to rely upon the original Complaint in Case No. 3:15-cv-02722-GPC-KSC (the “Operative Complaint”); (b) the time for defendants to respond to the Operative Complaint; and (c) a schedule for briefing any motion to dismiss that may be filed by a defendant. A stipulation setting forth the agreed litigation schedule has been submitted to the Court. On April 10, 2017, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Operative Complaint”).
The first to be filed of two derivative actions pending before the San Diego County Superior Court, Dow v. Micheletti, et al, is stayed by agreement of the parties. Due to the recency of its filing, no action has yet been taken, or agreement reached, with respect to Garner v. Garrabrants, et al.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, off balance sheet items, contractual obligations and capital resources of BofI Holding, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of our operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 , and the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.
Some matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the environment in which we operate and projections of future performance. Forward-looking statements are inherently unreliable and actual results may vary. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include changes in the interest rate environment, economic conditions, changes in the competitive marketplace, risks associated with credit quality, the outcome and effects of pending class action litigation filed against the Company and other risk factors discussed under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 , which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 . We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this report, which are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing information.
General
    
Our Company is the holding company for BofI Federal Bank (the “Bank”), a diversified financial services company with approximately $8.6 billion in assets that provides consumer and business banking products through its branchless, low-cost distribution channels and affinity partners. The Bank has deposit and loan and lease customers nationwide including consumer and business checking, savings and time deposit accounts and financing for single family and multifamily residential properties, small-to-medium size businesses in target sectors, and selected specialty finance receivables. The Bank generates fee income from consumer and business products including fees from loans originated for sale and transaction fees earned from processing payment activity. BofI Holding, Inc.’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and is a component of the Russell 2000 ® Index, the S&P SmallCap 600 ® Index and the KBW Nasdaq Financial Technology Index.

Our Bank is a federal savings bank wholly-owned by our Company and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). Our Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
We distribute our deposit products through a wide range of retail distribution channels, and our deposits consist of demand, savings and time deposits accounts. We distribute our loan products through our retail, correspondent and wholesale channels, and the loans we retain are primarily first mortgages secured by single family real property and by multifamily real property as well as commercial & industrial loans to businesses. Our mortgage-backed securities consist of mortgage pass-through securities issued by government-sponsored entities and non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed mortgage-backed securities issued by private sponsors. We believe our flexibility to adjust our asset generation channels has been a competitive advantage allowing us to avoid markets and products where credit fundamentals are poor or risks and rewards are not sufficient to support our required return on equity.
Mergers and Acquisitions

From time to time we undertake acquisitions or similar transactions consistent with the Bank’s operating and growth strategies. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , there were no such transactions; however, in July 2017, the Bank expanded its relationship with H&R Block, Inc. (“H&R Block”) and entered into an agreement with H&R Block to be the exclusive provider of interest-free Refund Advance loans to customers during the 2018 tax season. No acquisitions occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Further discussion of our Brand Partnership Products can be found under the heading “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 and Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 .

35


Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.
Our significant accounting policies and practices are described in greater detail in Note 1 to our June 30, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year end June 30, 2017 .
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings. We define net income without the after-tax impact of realized and unrealized securities gains and losses as adjusted earnings (“adjusted earnings”), a non-GAAP measurement, which we believe provides useful information about the Bank’s operating performance. Excluding the securities gains and losses provides investors with an understanding of our Bank’s core lending and mortgage banking business. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their use of such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we had net income of $32.4 million compared to net income of $28.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . Net income attributable to common stockholders was $32.3 million or $0.50 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $28.8 million or $0.45 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2016 .
Other key comparisons between our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:
Net interest income increased $10.8 million due to a 12.7% increase in average earning assets in the three months ended September 30, 2017 . This increase was primarily the result of growth in volume and increase in the average yield earned in our loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase in rates in our deposit portfolio. Our net interest margin increased 9 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 .
Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The $1.4 million decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of $1.2 million decrease in gain on sale – other due to decreased sales of lottery and structured settlement receivables, a decrease in realized gain on securities of $0.7 million , and a $0.4 million decrease in mortgage banking, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in banking service fees and other income.
Non-interest expense increased $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . For the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 , salaries and related expenses increased $2.7 million due to the overall increase in staff. Data processing and interest costs increased $0.9 million , general and administrative costs increased $0.5 million , advertising and promotional expenses increased $0.4 million and depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million to support increased operations.
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $32.3 million and $28.3 million , respectively.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $80.6 million , an increase of 15.4% compared to net interest income of $69.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The growth of net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 is primarily due to net loan portfolio growth and increased loan yields, which increased average earnings assets. The average yield on interest earning assets increased by 24 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 , primarily due to a increased yields on single family and C&I loan products. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 23 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 . The primary reason for the increase in the average rate paid for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 was an increase in demand and savings rates due to increases in prevailing deposit rates across the industry.
Total interest and dividend income during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased 18.3% to $103.5 million , compared to $87.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase in interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to growth in average earning assets from loan and lease originations, primarily in the single family and C&I portfolios. The average balance of loans and leases increased 15.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 .

39


Total interest expense was $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , an increase of $5.3 million or 29.7% as compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2016 . The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of 8.0% and an increase in the average funding rate of 23 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 . The increase in the average cost of funds rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to a 29 basis point increase in average rates paid on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits and a $407.1 million increase in average balance of advances from FHLB.
Net interest margin, defined as annualized net interest income divided by average earning assets, increased by 9 basis points to 3.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The increase in net interest margin was primarily the result of the above discussed increase in average yield of interest earning assets of 24 basis points, partially offset by an increase in rates paid on interest-bearing demand and savings accounts.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The loan and lease loss provision was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The decrease in the provision is primarily the result of changes in loan mix and net recoveries of $0.3 million, partially offset by loan growth. Provisions for loan and lease losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under “Financial Condition—Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Loss”.

Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million to $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The decrease was the result of a decrease of $1.2 million in gain on sale – other, a decrease of $0.7 million in realized gain on sale of securities, a decrease of $0.4 million in mortgage banking income and a decrease of $0.2 million in prepayment penalty fee income, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in banking service fees and other income, primarily due to increased fees from business loans and deposits. The primary non-interest income generating H&R Block products are EPC and RT. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , EPC increased $0.1 million to $1.4 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , RT was $0.1 million compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 .
Included in gain on sale – other for the three months ended September 30, 2016 are sales of state lottery prize and structured settlement annuity receivables. We engage in the wholesale and retail purchase of state lottery prize and structured settlement annuity payments. These payments are high credit quality deferred payment receivables having a state lottery commission or investment grade (top two tiers) insurance company payor. The Bank originates contracts for the retail purchase of such payments and classifies these under the heading of Factoring in the loan portfolio. Factoring yields are typically higher than mortgage loan rates. Typically, the gain received upon sale of these payment streams is greater than the gain received from an equivalent amount of mortgage loan sales. Since 2013, pools of structured settlement receivables have been originated for sale depending upon management’s assessment of interest rate risk, liquidity, and offers containing favorable terms and are classified on our balance sheet as loans held for sale.

Non-interest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and internet expenses, advertising and promotional, professional services, occupancy and equipment, and other operating expenses, was $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , up from $32.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the expansion of the Bank, specifically in areas related to lending, information technology infrastructure development and regulatory compliance.
Total salaries and related costs increased $2.7 million to $22.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 , compared to $19.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 due to increased staffing levels to support growth in deposit and lending, information technology infrastructure development and compliance activities. Our staff increased to 708 from 626, or 13.1% between September 30, 2017 and 2016 .
Data processing and internet expense increased $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase was primarily due to enhancements to customer interfaces and the Bank’s core processing system.
Advertising and promotional expense increased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase was primarily due to deposit relationships, online and mobile marketing expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase was primarily due to depreciation on lending platform enhancements and infrastructure development.
Professional services, which include accounting and legal fees, increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily attributable to increased consulting and legal fees.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 , in order to support increased production and office space for additional employees.
The cost of our Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and OCC standard regulatory charges decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to the three month period ending September 30, 2016 . The decrease was due to a favorable change in the FDIC deposit insurance premium calculation partially offset by the overall growth of the Bank’s liabilities. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC.
Other general and administrative costs increased by  $0.5 million for the three months ended  September 30, 2017 , compared to the three month period ended  September 30, 2016 primarily related to costs supporting loan and deposit production.

44


Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates (income tax provision divided by net income before income tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 40.98% and 41.90% , respectively. The changes in the tax rates are the result of state tax rate increases and changes in state tax allocations. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the three months ended September 30, 2017. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded $455,000 of income tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation. Prior to 2017, such excess tax benefits were generally recorded directly in stockholders’ equity. This new accounting standard may potentially increase the volatility in the Company’s effective tax rates.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balance Sheet Analysis
Our total assets increased $79.9 million , or 0.9% , to $8,581.6 million , as of September 30, 2017 , up from $8,501.7 million at June 30, 2017 . The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $138.5 million in net loans held for investment, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $53.1 million . Total liabilities increased $47.5 million , primarily from growth in deposits of $279.3 million , partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances of $240.0 million .
Loans and Leases
Net loans and leases held for investment increased 1.9% to $7,513.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $7,374.5 million at June 30, 2017 . The increase in the loan and lease portfolio was primarily due to loan and lease originations and purchases of $960.5 million , partially offset by loan and lease repayments and other adjustments of $822.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 .

The Bank originates some interest only loans with terms that include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans. Also, the Bank previously purchased option adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans and other loan types that permit payments that may be smaller than interest accruals. The Bank’s lending guidelines for interest only loans are adjusted for the increased credit risk associated with these loans by requiring borrowers with such loans to borrow at LTVs that are lower than standard amortizing ARM loans and by calculating debt to income ratios for qualifying borrowers based upon a fully amortizing payment, not the interest only payment. The Bank monitors and performs reviews of interest only loans. Adverse trends reflected in the Company’s delinquency statistics, grading and classification of interest only loans would be reported to management and the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had $887.0 million of interest only mortgage loans and $2.4 million of option adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Through September 30, 2017 , the net amount of deferred interest on these loan types was not material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Total non-performing assets increased from $29.8 million at June 30, 2017 to $33.5 million at September 30, 2017 . As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets increased from 0.35% at June 30, 2017 to 0.39% at September 30, 2017 . The non-performing assets increase of approximately $3.7 million was primarily the result of an increase in non-performing single family real estate secured loans.
A troubled debt restructuring is a concession made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties, typically permanent or temporary modifications of principal and interest payments or an extension of maturity dates. When a loan is delinquent and classified as a troubled debt restructuring no interest is accrued until the borrower demonstrates over time (typically six months ) that it can make payments. When a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring and is on nonaccrual, it is considered non-performing and included in the table above. The Bank had no performing troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 .
Potential Impact to Credit Quality – Recent Hurricanes and Wildfires
We have loans secured by real estate located in areas affected by the hurricanes that moved through Texas and Florida and by the wildfires in California. We require our borrowers to maintain adequate levels of insurance, including flood insurance in areas prone to flooding. We performed analytical procedures and discussed directly with borrowers to determine the properties most likely to be impacted. To date we have identified two loans totaling $1.7 million that incurred significant collateral property damage up to a total property loss. We believe based on our analysis and discussions that each of these properties has appropriate insurance coverages and that the damage incurred will not result in a material loss to the Bank.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
We are committed to maintaining the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, our management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While we believe that the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate at September 30, 2017 , future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio.

47


The assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease losses is based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and nonaccrual loans and leases, change in volume and mix of loans and leases, collateral values and charge-off history.
We provide general loan loss reserves for our auto and RV loans based upon the borrower credit score at the time of origination and the Company’s loss experience to date. The allowance for loan loss for the auto and RV loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 was determined by classifying each outstanding loan according to the semi-annually refreshed FICO score and providing loss rates. The Company had $188.8 million of auto and RV loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: FICO greater than or equal to 770: $93.8 million ; 715 – 769: $63.8 million ; 700 – 714: $15.4 million ; 660 – 699: $14.2 million and less than 660: $1.6 million .
We experienced increased charge-offs of RV loans in fiscal 2007 through 2011, due to the nationwide recession. Our portfolio of RV loans is expected to decrease in the future because the Bank ceased originating RV loans in fiscal 2009.
The Company provides general loan loss reserves for mortgage loans based upon the size and class of the mortgage loan and the loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) at date of origination. The allowance for each class is determined by dividing the outstanding unpaid balance for each loan by the loan-to-value and applying quantitative and qualitative loss rates. The LTV groupings for each significant mortgage class are as follows:
The Company had $3,879.0 million of single family mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 60%: $2,155.3 million ; 61% – 70%: $1,354.7 million ; 71% – 80%: $368.8 million ; greater than 80%: $0.2 million .
The Company had $1,605.9 million of multifamily mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 55%: 791.9 million ; 56% – 65%: $514.5 million ; 66% – 75%: $289.3 million ; 76% – 80%: $10.2 million and greater than 80%: $0.0 million .
The Company had $166.8 million of commercial real estate loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 50%: $73.5 million ; 51% – 60%: $36.2 million ; 61% – 70%: $46.9 million ; and 71% – 80%: $10.2 million .
The weighted average LTV percentage for our entire real estate loan portfolio was 56% at September 30, 2017 . We believe that this percentage is lower and more conservative than most banks, which results in lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks.
While we anticipate that such level of charge-offs will continue into the future, given the uncertainties surrounding the improvement of the U.S. economy, we may experience an increase in the relative amount of charge-offs and we may be required to increase our loan and lease loss provisions in the future to provide a larger loss allowance for one or more of our loan and lease types.

The loan and lease loss provision was $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2017 in the loan and lease loss provision was primarily the result of changes in loan and lease mix, slower loan growth and net recoveries of $0.3 million. We believe that the lower average LTV in the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio will continue to result in future lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks. Our general loan and lease loss reserves are based upon historical losses and expected future trends. The resolution of the Bank’s existing other real estate owned and non-performing loans should not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $219.7 million as of September 30, 2017 , compared with $272.8 million at June 30, 2017 . During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we purchased securities for $31.2 million, sold $8.6 million of securities and received principal repayments of approximately $74.6 million in our available-for-sale portfolio. The remainder of the change for the available-for-sale portfolio is attributable to accretion and other activities.
Deposits
Deposits increased a net $279.3 million , or 4.0% , to $7,178.8 million at September 30, 2017 , from $6,899.5 million at June 30, 2017 . Our deposit growth was primarily the result of a 9.8% increase in interest-bearing checking accounts. Increases in business banking customers resulted in higher demand account business.

At September 30, 2017 , total borrowings amounted to $464.5 million , down $250.0 million , or 35.0% , from June 30, 2017 and down $282.0 million or 37.8% from September 30, 2016 . Total borrowings represented 5.4% of total assets and had a weighted-average cost of borrowing of 1.83% at September 30, 2017 , compared with 8.4% of total assets at a weighted-average cost of borrowing of 1.71% at June 30, 2017 and 9.5% of total assets at a weighted-average cost of borrowing of 1.99% at September 30, 2016 .
We have sold securities under various agreements to repurchase for total proceeds of $10.0 million . The repurchase agreements have interest rates between 3.75% and 3.77% and scheduled maturities between October 2017 and December 2017. Under these agreements, we may be required to repay the $10.0 million and repurchase our securities before the scheduled maturity if the issuer requests repayment on scheduled quarterly call dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period is 0.14 years.
We regularly use advances from the FHLB to manage our interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, manage our liquidity position. Generally, FHLB advances with terms between three and ten years have been used to fund the purchase of single family and multifamily mortgages and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise. At September 30, 2017 , a total of $5.0 million of FHLB advances include agreements that allow the FHLB, at its option, to put the advances back to us after specified dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period of the $5.0 million in putable advances is 0.32 years and the weighted average remaining period before such advances could be put to us is 0.07 years.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $32.4 million to $866.7 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $834.2 million at June 30, 2017 . The increase was the result of our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $32.4 million , vesting and issuance of RSUs of $1.1 million , a $1.0 million unrealized loss in other comprehensive income, net of tax, less a reduction of $0.1 million for dividends declared on preferred stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we had net cash inflows from operating activities of $53.1 million compared to inflows of $66.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . Net operating cash inflows and outflows fluctuate primarily due to the timing of originations of loans held for sale and proceeds from loan sales.
Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $91.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , while outflows totaled $160.7 million for the same period in fiscal year 2017 . The decrease was primarily due to increased originations of loans and leases in the fiscal 2018 period compared to the same period in the prior year.
Our net cash provided by financing activities totaled $26.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , and $206.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . Net cash provided by financing activities decreased primarily from decreased FHLB advances for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 .
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , the Bank could borrow up to 40.0% of its total assets from the FHLB. Borrowings are collateralized by the pledge of certain mortgage loans and investment securities to the FHLB. At September 30, 2017 , the Company had $1.3 billion available immediately and an additional $156.3 million available with additional collateral. At September 30, 2017 , we also had two unsecured federal funds purchase lines with two different banks totaling $35.0 million, under which no borrowings were outstanding.
The Bank has the ability to borrow short-term from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Discount Window. At September 30, 2017 , the Bank did not have any borrowings outstanding and the amount available from this source was $724.3 million . The credit line is collateralized by consumer loans and mortgage-backed securities.
In an effort to expand the Bank’s liquidity options, we have issued brokered deposits of $1.1 billion at September 30, 2017 . We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies. We believe we have the ability to increase our level of deposits and borrowings to address our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2017 , we had commitments to originate loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $548.7 million , and commitments to sell loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $84.0 million . We have no commitments to purchase loans, leases, investment securities or any other unused lines of credit.
Litigation. On October 15, 2015, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a putative class action lawsuit styled  Golden v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Golden Case”). On November 3, 2015, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a second putative class action lawsuit styled  Hazan v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and also brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Hazan Case”). On February 1, 2016, the Golden Case and the Hazan Case were consolidated as  In re BofI Holding, Inc. Securities Litigation , Case #: 3:15-cv-02324-GPC-KSC (the “First Class Action”), and the Houston Municipal Employees Pension System was appointed lead plaintiff. The First Class Action complaint was amended by a certain Consolidated Amended Class Complaint filed on April 11, 2016. On September 27, 2016, the Court dismissed the First Class Action, with leave to amend, as to defendants Andrew Micheletti, Paul Grinberg, Nicholas Mosich and James Argalas. The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss with respect to the Company and Gregory Garrabrants. On November 25, 2016, the putative class action plaintiff filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), which includes the previously dismissed defendants. On December 23, 2016, the Company and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss such Second Amended Complaint. On May 23, 2017, the Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants; motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. On September 28, 2017, the Company and other defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which is currently pending. The First Class Action seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a complaint filed in connection

51


with a wrongful termination of employment lawsuit filed on October 13, 2015 (the “Employment Matter”) and that as a result the Company’s statements regarding its internal controls, as well as portions of its financial statements, were false and misleading. The Company and the other defendants named in the Employment Matter dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiff in that case, including plaintiff’s statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending against the complaint filed in connection therewith. Moreover, the Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations advanced by the plaintiffs in the First Class Action and are vigorously defending against the Second Amended Complaint.
On April 3, 2017, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a putative class action lawsuit styled Mandalevy v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al , and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Mandalevy Case”). The Mandalevy Case seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The complaint in the Mandalevy Case (the “Mandalevy Complaint”) alleges a class period that differs from that alleged in the First Class Action, and that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a March 2017 media article . The Mandalevy Case has not been consolidated into the First Class Action. On June 2, 2017, lead plaintiff motions were filed on behalf of three members of the putative class and on July 17, 2017, the Company and other defendants filed an opposition to such motions. The Mandalevy Complaint has yet to be served upon the Company or the other named defendants. The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations advanced by the plaintiffs in the Mandalevy Case, and are vigorously defending against the Mandalevy Complaint.
The complaints filed in the Golden Case, the Hazan Case, and the Mandalevy Case allege that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose the wrongful conduct that is alleged in a complaint that was filed in a wrongful termination of employment lawsuit (the “Employment Matter”), and that as a result the Company’s statements regarding its internal controls, as well as portions of its financial statements, were false and misleading. The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiffs in the Class Action, the Mandalevy Case, and in the Employment Matter, as well as those plaintiffs’ statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending each case.
In addition to the First Class Action and the Mandalevy Case, two separate shareholder derivative actions were filed in December, 2015, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The first derivative action,  Calcaterra v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on December 3, 2015. The second derivative action,  Dow v. Micheletti, et al , was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on December 16, 2015. A third derivative action,  DeYoung v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 22, 2016, a fourth derivative action,  Yong v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 29, 2016, a fifth derivative action,  Laborers Pension Trust Fund of Northern Nevada v. Allrich et al , was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on February 2, 2016, and a sixth derivative action, Garner v. Garrabrants, et al , was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on August 10, 2017. Each of these six derivative actions names the Company as a nominal defendant, and certain of its officers and directors as defendants. Each complaint sets forth allegations of breaches of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and unjust enrichment against the defendant officers and directors. The plaintiffs in these derivative actions seek damages in unspecified amounts on the Company’s behalf from the officer and director defendants, certain corporate governance actions, and an award of their costs and attorney’s fees.
On June 9, 2016, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California ordered the four above-referenced cases pending before it to be consolidated, appointed lead counsel in the consolidated action, and ordered the parties to meet and confer regarding a schedule for the filing of a consolidated complaint and defendants’ response to the complaint. Pursuant to the June 9, 2016 order, counsel have met and conferred regarding proposals for (a) the time for plaintiffs to file a consolidated complaint or provide notice of plaintiffs’ intent to rely upon the original Complaint in Case No. 3:15-cv-02722-GPC-KSC (the “Operative Complaint”); (b) the time for defendants to respond to the Operative Complaint; and (c) a schedule for briefing any motion to dismiss that may be filed by a defendant. A stipulation setting forth the agreed litigation schedule has been submitted to the Court. On April 10, 2017, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Operative Complaint”).
The first to be filed of two derivative actions pending before the San Diego County Superior Court, Dow v. Micheletti, et al, is stayed by agreement of the parties. Due to the recency of its filing, no action has yet been taken, or agreement reached, with respect to Garner v. Garrabrants, et al.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business primarily as a source of funds for its asset growth and to meet required capital needs. Our time deposits due within one year of September 30, 2017 totaled $179.1 million . We believe the large percentage of time deposits that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds long term. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on deposits and borrowings than we currently pay on time deposits maturing within one year. However, based on past experience we believe a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We believe we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting interest rates offered.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Our Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal bank regulatory agencies. Failure by our Company or Bank to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for our Company and the OCC has similar requirements for our Bank. The following tables present regulatory capital information for our Company and Bank. Information presented for September 30, 2017 , reflects the Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for both our Company and Bank. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our Company and Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation require our Company and Bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. Federal bank regulators require our Company and Bank maintain minimum ratios of core capital to adjusted average assets of 4.0%, common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. To be “well capitalized,” our Company and Bank must maintain minimum leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2017 , our Company and Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject and were “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since September 30, 2017 that would materially adversely change the Company’s and Bank’s capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our Company’s and Bank’s further growth and to maintain their “well capitalized” status.

Beginning January 1, 2016, Basel III implemented a requirement for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively composed of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not the leverage ratio. At September 30, 2017 , our Company and Bank are in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement. The three risk-based capital ratios will increase by 0.625% each year through 2019, at which point, the common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratio minimums will be 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively.
In connection with the approval of the acquisition of the H&R Block Bank deposits on September 1, 2015, the Bank executed a letter agreement with the OCC to maintain its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at a minimum of 8.50% for the quarters ended in June, September and December and a minimum of 8.00% for the quarter ended in March, subject to certain adjustments. At September 30, 2017 the Bank is in compliance with this letter agreement.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We measure interest rate sensitivity as the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or contractually re-price within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, provides an indication of the extent to which an institution’s interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities and negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position than an institution with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets or to have its asset yields adjusted upward, which would cause the yield on its assets to increase at a faster pace than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, however, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets reprice at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that were outstanding at September 30, 2017 and the portions of each financial instrument that are expected to mature or reset interest rates in each future period:

The above table provides an approximation of the projected re-pricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 on the basis of contractual maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments of principal and scheduled rate adjustments. The loan and securities prepayment rates reflected herein are based on historical experience. For the non-maturity deposit liabilities, we use decay rates and rate adjustments based upon our historical experience. Actual repayments of these instruments could vary substantially if future experience differs from our historic experience.
Although “gap” analysis is a useful measurement device available to management in determining the existence of interest rate exposure, its static focus as of a particular date makes it necessary to utilize other techniques in measuring exposure to changes in interest rates. For example, gap analysis is limited in its ability to predict trends in future earnings and makes no assumptions about changes in prepayment tendencies or deposit or loan maturity preferences.

We attempt to measure the effect market interest rate changes will have on the net present value of assets and liabilities, which is defined as market value of equity. The market value of equity for these purposes is not intended to refer to the trading pricing of our common stock. We analyze the market value of equity sensitivity to an immediate parallel and sustained shift in interest rates derived from the current treasury and LIBOR yield curves. For rising interest rate scenarios, the industry market interest rate forecast was increased by 100, 200 and 300 basis points.

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of interest rates, asset prepayments, runoffs in deposits and changes in repricing levels of deposits to general market rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Furthermore, these computations do not take into account any actions that we may undertake in response to future changes in interest rates.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding market risks in our portfolio, see, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and

56


operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

RISK FACTORS
We face a variety of risks that are inherent in our business and our industry. These risks are described in more detail under Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 . We encourage you to read these factors in their entirety. Moreover, other factors may also exist that we cannot anticipate or that we currently do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available.

ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The table below sets forth our market repurchases of BofI common stock and the BofI common shares retained in connection with net settlement of restricted stock awards during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 . On March 17, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s stock. The new share repurchase authorization replaces the previous share repurchase plan approved on July 5, 2005. The Company may repurchase shares of common stock on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices considered appropriate, at the discretion of the Company, and subject to its assessment of alternative uses of capital, stock trading price, general market conditions and regulatory factors. The stock repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and will continue in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company. Shares of common stock repurchased under this plan will be held as treasury shares. No shares were purchased under the plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 .
