EXHIBIT 99.1
Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. Reports Preliminary Third Quarter Earnings
of $1.41 Per Diluted Common Share
Preliminary Financial Results and Business Update for the Quarter and
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSBC),
the holding company for Great Southern Bank, today reported that preliminary earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2024,
were $1.41 per diluted common share ($16.5 million net income) compared to $1.33 per diluted common share ($15.9 million net income)
for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Preliminary earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $3.99 per diluted common share
($46.9 million net income) compared to $4.52 per diluted common share ($54.7 million net income) for the nine months ended September
30, 2023.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, annualized return on average common equity was 11.10%, annualized
return on average assets was 1.11%, and annualized net interest margin was 3.42%, compared to 11.47%, 1.11% and 3.43%, respectively,
for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, annualized return on average common equity was
10.83%, annualized return on average assets was 1.07%, and annualized net interest margin was 3.39%, compared to 13.15%, 1.28% and 3.66%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2024 Key Results:
- Significant or Non-Recurring Items:
During the three months ended September 30, 2024,
the Company reduced its non-performing assets by $12.7 million, primarily through the resolution by sale of three unrelated non-performing
assets. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of these foreclosed assets of $459,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
- Capital: The Company’s capital position remained strong as of September 30, 2024,
significantly exceeding the thresholds established by regulators. On a preliminary basis, as of September 30, 2024, the Company’s
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 11.0%, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.3%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.8%, and Total Capital Ratio
was 15.5%. Total stockholders’ equity increased $40.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the Company’s
tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 10.0% at September 30, 2024. Retained earnings increased $23.6 million during this
same nine-month period. See “Capital” section for additional information regarding the changes to total stockholders’
equity.
- Liquidity: The Company had secured borrowing line availability at the FHLBank and Federal
Reserve Bank of $1.12 billion and $305.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2024. In addition, at September 30, 2024, the Company
had unpledged securities with a market value totaling $370.0 million, which could be pledged as collateral for additional borrowing capacity
at either the FHLBank or Federal Reserve Bank. Based partially on the foregoing, the Company believes it has ample sources of liquidity
as of September 30, 2024.
- Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.2
million (or approximately 2.6%) to $48.0 million compared to $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net interest margin was 3.42%
for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 3.43% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Net interest income and net interest
margin in the second quarter of 2024 were $46.8 million and 3.43%, respectively.
- Total Loans: Total outstanding loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, increased
$121.7 million, or 2.7%, from $4.59 billion at December 31, 2023, to $4.71 billion at September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily
in other residential (multi-family) loans with decreases in commercial construction loans, commercial business loans and one- to four-family
residential loans. As construction projects are completed, the loans either pay off or move to their respective loan categories, primarily
multi-family or commercial real estate.
- Asset Quality: Non-performing assets and potential problem loans totaled $13.7 million
at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $5.4 million from $19.1 million at December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2024, non-performing assets
were $7.7 million (0.13% of total assets), a decrease of $4.1 million from $11.8 million (0.20% of total assets) at December 31, 2023.
Non-performing assets decreased $12.7 million compared to June 30, 2024. The decrease in non-performing assets in the three months ended
September 30, 2024, was mainly due to the sale of two foreclosed assets and the payoff of a $2.4 million non-performing commercial real
estate loan. The Company experienced net charge-offs of $1.5 million in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. See
“Asset Quality” section for additional information regarding the changes to non-performing assets.
Great Southern President and CEO Joseph W. Turner commented, “Our third-quarter results reflect
solid earnings and a strong balance sheet, despite ongoing challenges in the broader economic and banking environment. We reported earnings
of $1.41 per diluted common share, or $16.5 million in net income, for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to $1.33 per diluted
common share, or $15.9 million in net income, for the third quarter of 2023 and $1.45 per diluted common share, or $17.0 million in net
income, for the second quarter of 2024. These results highlight our ability to maintain stability and deliver consistent performance
over the long term, even as we face ongoing macro pressures. I'm proud of our team for their focus on operational excellence and disciplined
approach to managing our business."
He continued, “Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or approximately 2.6%, to $48.0 million,
compared to $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Our net interest margin was 3.42%, down slightly from 3.43% for both the second
quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023. While market conditions have increased deposit costs, we've countered these headwinds
with higher yields on loans and securities. Recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve may help moderate some of the upward pressure
on deposit costs, though we expect the full effects of these rate changes to become more apparent in the coming months.”
Turner remarked, “One of our important achievements this quarter was the significant reduction
in non-performing assets, which decreased by $12.7 million, bringing the total to $7.7 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at September
30, 2024. This reduction underscores our proactive management of credit risk and reflects the successful resolution of two key non-performing
assets. We did, however, record a $1.2 million provision for credit losses in the quarter, as a result of charge-offs and growth in the
loan portfolio. We do not believe this charge is indicative of broader portfolio concerns, however, and we continue to view the commercial
real estate loan market as a suitable option for potential growth."
He then noted, "Our total loan portfolio, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, has increased by $121.7
million, or 2.7%, since the end of 2023. This increase was driven primarily by growth in other residential (multi-family) loans, partially
offset by declines in construction loans, commercial business loans, and one- to-four-family residential loans, as some construction
projects were completed and transferred to other loan categories. At the end of the third quarter of 2024, our pipeline of loan commitments
and unfunded lines remained solid at more than $1.04 billion, despite a slight decrease from the previous quarter."
Regarding expenses, Turner noted, "Non-interest expenses decreased by $1.8 million, to $33.7 million,
compared to the third quarter of 2023. This reduction was primarily due to lower professional fees and gains from foreclosed asset sales."
In closing, Turner noted, "We view our capital position as very important and a strength of our Company.
Stockholders' equity increased by $40.3 million year to date, to $612.1 million, representing a tangible common equity ratio of 10.0%.
We continue to prioritize returning capital to our stockholders through dividends and strategic share repurchases. These actions reflect
our ongoing commitment to delivering long-term value to stockholders. Our performance in the third quarter underscores our ability to
navigate the challenges of the current interest rate environment while maintaining strong liquidity and capital positions. We remain
focused on prudent loan portfolio management, controlling deposit costs, and leveraging our strengths to deliver sustainable growth."

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.2 million to $48.0 million, compared
to $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net interest margin was 3.42% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 3.43% in the
same period of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of one basis point. In comparing the 2024 and 2023 third quarter periods,
the average yield on loans increased 52 basis points, the average yield on investment securities increased 26 basis points and the average
yield on other interest earning assets increased five basis points. The average rate on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits,
time deposits and brokered deposits increased 34 basis points, 65 basis points and seven basis points, respectively, in the three months
ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average interest rate spread was 2.74% for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2.77% for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities was 126.8% in the three months ended
September 30, 2024, compared to 131.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 126.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $8.5 million to $139.6 million,
compared to $148.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net interest margin was 3.39% in the nine months ended September
30, 2024, compared to 3.66% in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 27 basis points. The margin contraction primarily resulted from
increasing interest rates on all deposit types due to higher market interest rates and increased competition for deposits. In comparing
the 2024 and 2023 nine-month periods, the average yield on loans increased 47 basis points, the average yield on investment securities
increased 21 basis points and the average yield on other interest earning assets increased 35 basis points. The average rate on interest-bearing
demand and savings deposits, time deposits and brokered deposits increased 58 basis points, 125 basis points and 31 basis points, respectively,
in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The average interest rate spread was
2.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 3.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
In October 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing interest
rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $400 million with a contractual
termination date in October 2025. As previously disclosed by the Company, on March 2, 2020, the Company and its swap counterparty mutually
agreed to terminate this swap, effective immediately. The Company was paid $45.9 million, including accrued but unpaid interest, from
its swap counterparty as a result of this termination. This $45.9 million, less the accrued to date interest portion and net of deferred
income taxes, is reflected in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as part of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)
and is being accreted to interest income on loans monthly through the original contractual termination date of October 6, 2025. The Company
recorded $2.0 million of interest income related to the swap in both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended
September 30, 2023. The Company recorded $6.1 million of interest income related to the swap in both the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company currently expects to have a sufficient amount of eligible variable
rate loans to continue to accrete this interest income ratably in future periods. If this expectation changes and the amount of eligible
variable rate loans decreases significantly, the Company may be required to recognize this interest income more rapidly.
In March 2022, the Company entered into another interest rate swap transaction as part of its ongoing
interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of the swap was $300 million, with
a contractual termination date of March 1, 2024. Under the terms of the swap, the Company received a fixed rate of interest of 1.6725%
and paid a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-LIBOR (or the equivalent replacement USD-SOFR rate once the USD-LIBOR rate
ceased to be available). To the extent that the fixed rate exceeded one-month USD-LIBOR/SOFR, the Company received net interest settlements,
which were recorded as loan interest income. If one-month USD-LIBOR/SOFR exceeded the fixed rate of interest, the Company paid net settlements
to the counterparty and recorded those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. As this interest rate swap has reached
its contractual termination date of March 1, 2024, there have been no further interest income impacts related to this swap after that
date. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to this swap transaction of $1.9 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2024. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to this swap transaction of $2.8 million and $7.5
million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
In July 2022, the Company entered into two additional interest rate swap transactions as part of its
ongoing interest rate management strategies to hedge the risk of its floating rate loans. The notional amount of each swap is $200 million
with an effective date of May 1, 2023 and a termination date of May 1, 2028. Under the terms of one swap, the Company receives a fixed
rate of interest of 2.628% and pays a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-SOFR OIS. Under the terms of the other swap, the
Company receives a fixed rate of interest of 5.725% and pays a floating rate of interest equal to one-month USD-Prime. In each case,
the floating rate resets monthly and net settlements of interest due to/from the counterparty also occur monthly. To the extent the fixed
rate of interest exceeds the floating rate of interest, the Company receives net interest settlements, which are recorded as loan interest
income. If the floating rate of interest exceeds the fixed rate of interest, the Company pays net settlements to the counterparty and
records those net payments as a reduction of interest income on loans. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related
to these swap transactions of $2.7 million in both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30,
2023. The Company recorded a reduction of loan interest income related to these swap transactions of $8.3 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.4 million reduction of interest income in the 2023 nine-month period. At September 30, 2024,
the USD-Prime rate was 8.00% and the one-month USD-SOFR OIS rate was 5.16334%.
The Company’s net interest income in the third quarter of 2024 increased 2-3% compared to net
interest income in both the second quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023. Net interest margin was consistent in each of the three
periods. The cost of deposits has been negatively impacted over several quarters by the high level of competition for deposits across
the industry and the lingering effects of liquidity events at several banks in March and April 2023. The Company also had a substantial
amount of time deposits maturing at relatively low rates after the second quarter of 2023, and these time deposits either renewed at
higher rates or left the Company, in the latter case requiring their replacement with other funding sources at then-current higher market
rates. Market rates for time deposits have recently declined as the FOMC has cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points and signaled
further rate cuts may occur. As of September 30, 2024, time deposit maturities over the next 12 months were as follows: within three
months -- $537 million, with a weighted-average rate of 4.53%; within three to six months -- $507 million, with a weighted-average rate
of 4.07%; and within six to twelve months -- $145 million, with a weighted-average rate of 3.20%. Based on time deposit market rates
in September 2024, replacement rates for these maturing time deposits are likely to be approximately 3.50-4.20%.
For additional information on net interest income components, see the “Average Balances, Interest
Rates and Yields” tables in this release.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, non-interest income decreased $860,000 to $7.0 million when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the following items:
- Overdraft and insufficient funds fees: Overdraft and insufficient funds fees decreased $710,000
compared to the prior-year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the continuation of a multi-year trend whereby our customers are
choosing to forego authorizing payments of certain items which exceed their account balances, resulting in fewer overdrafts in checking
accounts and related fees.
- Point-of-sale and ATM fees: Point-of-sale and ATM fees decreased $257,000 compared to the prior-year
quarter primarily due to a portion of these transactions now being routed through channels with lower fees to us, which we expect will
continue in future periods.
- Net gains on loan sales: Net gains on loan sales increased $292,000 compared to the prior-year
quarter. The increase was partially due to an increase in balance of fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans sold during the third quarter
of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans originated are generally subsequently sold in
the secondary market. The Company realized higher premiums on the sale of loans in the 2024 third quarter compared to the 2023 third
quarter, as market interest rates were more stable in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30,
2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest income increased $121,000 to $23.6 million
when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the following items:
- Overdraft and insufficient funds fees: Overdraft
and insufficient funds fees decreased $2.1 million compared to the prior-year period, for the same reason noted in the quarterly comparison
above.
- Point-of-sale and ATM fees: Point-of-sale and ATM
fees decreased $966,000 compared to the prior-year period, for the same reason noted in the quarterly comparison above.
- Net gains on loan sales: Net gains on loan sales
increased $998,000 compared to the prior-year period, for the same reason noted in the quarterly comparison above.
- Other income: Other income increased $1.9 million
compared to the prior-year period. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $2.7 million of other income, net of expenses
and write-offs, related to the termination of the Master Agreement between the Company and a third-party software vendor for the conversion
of the Company’s core banking platform. This termination was previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This amount represented the elimination of certain deferred credits and other liabilities,
along with the write-off of certain capitalized hardware, software and other assets, that previously had been recorded as part of the
preparation to convert to the new core-banking platform.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, non-interest expense decreased $1.8 million to $33.7 million
when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the following items:
- Legal, Audit and Other Professional Fees: Legal, audit and other professional fees decreased
$1.0 million from the prior-year quarter, to $809,000. In the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company expensed a total of $39,000,
compared to $903,000 expensed in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, related to training and implementation costs for the intended
core systems conversion and professional fees to consultants engaged to support the Company’s proposed transition of core and ancillary
software and information technology systems.
- Expense on Other Real Estate Owned: Expense on other real estate owned decreased $598,000 from
the prior-year quarter, to a gain of $536,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded
a gain on foreclosed asset sales of $459,000 compared to $22,000 in the third quarter of 2023.
- Net occupancy expenses: Net occupancy expenses increased $409,000 from the prior-year quarter.
Various components of computer license and support expenses collectively increased by $369,000 in the third quarter of 2024 compared
to the third quarter of 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest expense decreased $190,000 to $104.5 million
when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the following items:
- Legal, Audit and Other Professional Fees: Legal, audit and other professional fees decreased
$1.1 million from the prior-year period, to $4.4 million. In the 2024 period, the Company expensed a total of $1.9 million, compared
to $2.7 million expensed in the 2023 period, related to training and implementation costs for the intended core systems conversion and
professional fees to consultants engaged to support the Company’s proposed transition of core and ancillary software and information
technology systems.
- Expense on Other Real Estate Owned: Expense on other real estate owned decreased $453,000 from
the prior-year period, to a gain of $190,000. In the 2024 period, the Company recorded a gain on foreclosed loan sales of $491,000 compared
to $41,000 in the 2023 period.
- Net occupancy expenses: Net occupancy expenses increased $960,000 from the prior-year period,
for the same reason noted in the quarterly comparison above.
- Salaries and employee benefits: Salaries and employee benefits increased $536,000, or 0.9%,
from the prior-year period. Much of this increase related to normal annual merit increases in various lending and operations areas.
The Company’s efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was 61.34% compared to
65.13% for the same quarter in 2023. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was 64.05% compared
to 61.04% for the same period in 2023. The Company’s ratio of non-interest expense to average assets was 2.27% and 2.38% for the
three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 2.49% and 2.45% for the three- and nine-months ended September
30, 2023, respectively. Average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $249.6 million, or 4.4%, compared to
the three months ended September 30, 2023, and average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $139.6 million,
or 2.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Both increases were primarily due to growth in net loans receivable and
available-for-sale securities.
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's effective tax rate was 18.0% and
21.5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's effective tax rate was 18.5% and 20.8%, respectively.
These effective rates were at or below the statutory federal tax rate of 21%, due primarily to the utilization of certain investment
tax credits and the Company’s tax-exempt investments and tax-exempt loans, which reduced the Company’s effective tax rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate in future periods as it is impacted by the level and timing of the Company’s
utilization of tax credits, the level of tax-exempt investments and loans, the amount of taxable income in various state jurisdictions
and the overall level of pre-tax income. State tax expense estimates continually evolve as taxable income and apportionment between states
are analyzed. The Company's effective income tax rate is currently generally expected to remain below the statutory federal tax rate
due primarily to the factors noted above. The Company currently expects its effective tax rate (combined federal and state) will be approximately
18.0% to 20.0% in future periods, primarily due to additional investment tax credits being utilized beginning in 2024.
CAPITAL
As of September 30, 2024, total stockholders’ equity was $612.1 million (10.1% of total assets),
equivalent to a book value of $52.40 per common share. Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2023, was $571.8 million (9.8%
of total assets), equivalent to a book value of $48.44 per common share. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s tangible common equity
to tangible assets ratio was 10.0%, compared to 9.7% at December 31, 2023. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Included in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were unrealized
losses (net of taxes) on the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities totaling $29.1 million and $40.5 million, respectively.
This change in net unrealized losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily resulted from decreasing intermediate-term
market interest rates which generally increased the fair value of investment securities.
In addition, included in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024, were realized gains (net
of taxes) on the Company’s terminated cash flow hedge (interest rate swap), totaling $6.4 million. This amount, plus associated
deferred taxes, is expected to be accreted to interest income over the remaining term of the original interest rate swap contract, which
was to end in October 2025. At September 30, 2024, the remaining pre-tax amount to be recorded in interest income was $8.3 million. The
net effect on total stockholders’ equity over time will be no impact, as the reduction of this realized gain will be offset by
an increase in retained earnings (as the interest income flows through pre-tax income).
Also included in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024, was an unrealized loss (net of taxes)
on the Company’s two outstanding cash flow hedges (interest rate swaps) totaling $6.4 million. Increases in market interest rates
since the inception of these hedges have caused their fair values to decrease. The unrealized loss position on these swaps improved substantially
in the third quarter of 2024 due to a decline in market interest rates in the quarter.
As noted above, total stockholders' equity increased $40.3 million, from $571.8 million at December
31, 2023 to $612.1 million at September 30, 2024. Stockholders’ equity increased due to net income of $46.9 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2024 and a $6.9 million increase in stockholders’ equity during that period due to stock option exercises.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $13.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increases
in the fair value of cash flow hedges and available-for-sale investment securities resulting from decreases in market interest rates.
Partially offsetting these increases were repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30,
2024 totaling $12.5 million and dividends declared on common stock during that period of $14.0 million.
The Company had unrealized losses on its portfolio of held-to-maturity investment securities, which
totaled $19.2 million at September 30, 2024, that were not included in its total capital balance. If these held-to-maturity unrealized
losses were included in capital (net of taxes), they would have decreased total stockholder’s equity by $14.6 million at September
30, 2024. This amount was equal to 2.4% of total stockholders’ equity of $612.1 million at September 30, 2024.
On a preliminary basis, as of September 30, 2024, the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 11.0%,
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.3%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.8%, and Total Capital Ratio was 15.5%.
On September 30,
2024, and on a preliminary basis, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 11.2%, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.9%, Tier
1 Capital Ratio was 12.9%, and Total Capital Ratio was 14.2%.
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional one
million shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2024, a total of approximately 488,000 shares were available
in our stock repurchase authorization.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,971 shares of its common
stock at an average price of $53.04, and the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per
common share, which, combined, reduced stockholders’ equity by $4.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the
Company repurchased 239,933 shares of its common stock at an average price of $51.69, and the Company’s Board of Directors declared
regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $1.20 per common share, which, combined, reduced stockholders’ equity by $26.5 million.
LIQUIDITY AND DEPOSITS
Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to meet present and
future financial obligations in a timely manner. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions and
certain investment securities and loans. As a result of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity primarily through liability
funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and
meet its borrowers’ credit needs.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, FHLBank advances, other borrowings,
loan repayments, unpledged securities, proceeds from sales of loans and available-for-sale securities and funds provided from operations.
The Company utilizes some or all of these sources of funds depending on the comparative costs and availability at the time. The Company
has from time to time chosen not to pay rates on deposits as high as the rates paid by certain of its competitors and, when believed
to be appropriate, supplements deposits with less expensive alternative sources of funds.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had the following available secured lines and on-balance sheet liquidity:

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s total deposits increased $82.2
million. Interest-bearing checking balances increased $45.1 million (about 2.1%), primarily in certain money market accounts, partially
offset by decreases in NOW accounts, while non-interest-bearing checking balances decreased $13.5 million (about 1.6%). Time deposits
generated through the Company’s banking center and corporate services networks decreased $87.7 million (about 10.1%). Brokered
deposits increased $140.4 million (about 21.0%) through a variety of sources. The brokered deposits received during the three months
ended September 30, 2024 generally have a term of less than three months, so these funds may be able to be replaced at a lower interest
rate upon maturity, depending on market interest rates at the time.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s total deposits decreased $24.2
million. Interest-bearing checking balances increased $19.7 million (about 0.9%) and non-interest-bearing checking balances decreased
$38.8 million (about 4.3%). Time deposits generated through the Company’s banking center and corporate services networks decreased
$141.6 million (about 15.3%). Brokered deposits increased $148.9 million (about 22.5%) through a variety of sources.

At September 30, 2024, the Company estimated that its uninsured deposits, excluding deposit accounts
of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, were approximately $668 million (14% of total deposits).
LOANS
Total net loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, increased $121.7 million, or 2.7%, from $4.59
billion at December 31, 2023 to $4.71 billion at September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily in other residential (multi-family)
loans ($628 million increase), partially offset by decreases in construction loans ($383 million decrease), commercial business loans
($91 million decrease) and one- to four-family residential loans ($52 million decrease). The pipeline of loan commitments increased in
the third quarter of 2024. The unfunded portion of construction loans remained significant, but continued to decline, in the third quarter
of 2024. As construction projects were completed, the related loans were either moved from the construction category to the appropriate
permanent loan categories or paid off.
For further information about the Company’s loan portfolio, please see the quarterly loan portfolio
presentation available on the Company’s Investor Relations website under “Presentations.”

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external
sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides
the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current
loan-specific risk characteristics such as changes in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level or term, as well as for
changes in economic conditions, including but not limited to changes in the national unemployment rate, commercial real estate price
index, consumer sentiment, gross domestic product (GDP) and construction spending.
Challenging or worsening economic conditions from higher inflation or interest rates, COVID-19 and subsequent
variant outbreaks or similar events, global unrest or other factors may lead to increased losses in the portfolio and/or requirements
for an increase in provision expense. Management maintains various controls in an attempt to identify and limit future losses, such as
a watch list of problem loans and potential problem loans, documented loan administration policies and loan review staff to review the
quality and anticipated collectability of the portfolio. Additional procedures provide for frequent management review of the loan portfolio
based on loan size, loan type, delinquencies, financial analysis, ongoing correspondence with borrowers and problem loan workouts. Management
determines which loans are collateral-dependent, evaluates risk of loss and makes additional provisions to expense, if necessary, to
maintain the allowance at a satisfactory level.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded provision expense of $1.2 million
on its portfolio of outstanding loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not record a provision expense on
its portfolio of outstanding loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded provision expense of $1.7 million
on its portfolio of outstanding loans, compared to $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Total net charge-offs were
$1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $99,000 in the three months ended September
30, 2023. Total net charge-offs were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $227,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a negative provision
for losses on unfunded commitments of $63,000, compared to a negative provision of $1.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a negative provision for losses on unfunded commitments
of $540,000, compared to a negative provision of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. General market conditions
and unique circumstances related to specific industries and individual projects contribute to the determination of the level of provisions
and charge-offs in each period.
The Bank’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.36%, 1.39% and 1.39%
at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Management considers the allowance for credit losses adequate
to cover losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2024, based on recent reviews of the Bank’s loan portfolio
and current economic conditions. If challenging economic conditions were to last longer than anticipated or deteriorate further or management’s
assessment of the loan portfolio were to change, additional credit loss provisions could be required, thereby adversely affecting the
Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.
ASSET QUALITY
At September 30, 2024, non-performing assets were $7.7 million, a decrease of $4.1 million from $11.8
million at December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $12.7 million from $20.4 million at June 30, 2024. Non-performing assets as a percentage
of total assets were 0.13% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.20% at December 31, 2023. One loan relationship, totaling $9.3 million,
was transferred from non-performing loans to foreclosed assets held for sale in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and was sold during
the three months ended September 30, 2024. Another non-performing loan totaling $2.4 million was also resolved in the three months ended
September 30, 2024. As a result of changes in loan portfolio composition, changes in economic and market conditions and other factors
specific to a borrower’s circumstances, the level of non-performing assets will fluctuate.
Compared to December 31, 2023, non-performing loans decreased $4.3 million to $7.5 million at September
30, 2024. The majority of this decrease was in the non-performing commercial real estate loans category, which decreased $4.4 million
from December 31, 2023. Compared to June 30, 2024, non-performing loans decreased $3.5 million.
Compared to December 31, 2023, foreclosed assets increased $240,000 to $263,000 at September 30, 2024.
The majority of this increase was in the commercial real estate loans category, which increased $230,000 from December 31, 2023. Compared
to June 30, 2024, foreclosed assets decreased $9.2 million, primarily due to the sale of one asset noted previously.

At September 30, 2024, the non-performing commercial real estate category included three loans, none
of which was added during the current quarter. The largest relationship in the category, which totaled $6.0 million, or 98.6% of the
total category, was added to non-performing loans during the second quarter of 2023 and is collateralized by an office building in Missouri.
The balance of this relationship was reduced by a charge-off of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Another
loan, totaling $2.4 million, which was a purchased participation loan originally obtained through an FDIC-assisted acquisition, was collateralized
by a low-income assisted living facility in Wisconsin. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company initiated foreclosure on this collateral
through a sheriff’s sale. The Company was outbid at the sale by another party. Under the sale process in the State of Wisconsin,
the buyer has a short period of time to provide the balance of the sales proceeds to the court (10% of the sales price was placed with
the court as non-refundable funds and would be remitted to the Company should the buyer fail to complete the purchase). The judge has
signed the order confirming the sheriff’s sale, and we expect this transaction will be completed in October 2024. The non-performing
one- to four-family residential category included four loans. The largest relationship in the category totaled $525,000, or 88.6% of
the category, and was added in the second quarter of 2024. The land development category consisted of one loan added during the current
quarter. This loan is collateralized by improved commercial land in the Omaha, Neb. area. The non-performing consumer category included
six loans, three of which were added during the current quarter.
Potential problem loans decreased $1.4 million, to $6.0 million at September 30, 2024 from $7.4 million
at December 31, 2023. Compared to June 30, 2024, potential problem loans increased $385,000. The increase during the quarter was primarily
due to multiple loans totaling $502,000 being added to potential problem loans, partially offset by $51,000 in loan payments, $32,000
in loans moved to non-performing, $28,000 in charge-offs and $6,000 in loans removed from the potential problem category.

At September 30, 2024, the commercial real estate category of potential problem loans included three
loans, all of which are part of one relationship and were added during the second quarter of 2024. This relationship is collateralized
by three nursing care facilities located in southwest Missouri. The borrower’s business cash flow was negatively impacted by a
labor shortage and a decrease in Medicaid reimbursement during 2022-2023. Monthly payments were timely made prior to the transfer to
this category and have continued to be paid. The one- to four-family residential category of potential problem loans included seven loans,
three of which were added during the current quarter. The largest relationship in this category totaled $154,000, or 23.0% of the total
category. The commercial business category of potential problem loans included two loans. The largest relationship in this category totaled
$191,000, or 99.0% of the total category, and was added during the second quarter of 2024. The consumer category of potential problem
loans included 13 loans, five of which were added during the current quarter, including one home equity loan totaling $598,000 that is
related to the nursing care facility relationship noted above.
Activity in foreclosed assets and repossessions during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

At September 30, 2024, the commercial real estate category of foreclosed assets consisted of one property
which was transferred from non-performing loans during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as indicated above, and was subsequently
sold in October 2024. The additions and sales in the consumer category were due to the volume of repossessions of automobiles, which
generally are subject to a shorter repossession process. The other residential (multi-family) category of foreclosed assets previously
included one property consisting of student housing in Texas, which was added during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as indicated
above. This property was sold in the three months ended September 30, 2024, with the Company realizing a gain of $300,000.
BUSINESS INITIATIVES
Since early 2022, Great Southern had been preparing to convert to a new core banking platform (New System)
to be delivered by a third-party vendor. As previously disclosed, the migration to the New System, originally scheduled for the
third quarter of 2023, was delayed to mid-2024. In addition, as also previously disclosed, certain contractual disputes arose between
Great Southern and the third-party vendor. While discussions were ongoing between the parties for an extended period of time, no
meaningful progress was made in resolving the contractual disputes.
The system migration efforts were beset by a variety of significant issues, including having missed
a second conversion date because of continued operational and system problems. Therefore, Great Southern took the following actions to
protect its interests. On April 24, 2024, Great Southern informed the third-party vendor that it was terminating the Master Agreement
between Great Southern and the third-party vendor in accordance with Great Southern’s rights under the Master Agreement. In addition,
on April 24, 2024, Great Southern initiated legal action against the third-party vendor by filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Missouri, Southern Division. The complaint seeks to recover damages caused by the third-party vendor’s
material breach of the Master Agreement, inability and/or inaction on the part of the third-party vendor to effectively and timely manage
the system migration, as well as the third-party vendor’s misrepresentations and omissions. The third-party vendor filed a counterclaim
alleging that Great Southern terminated the Master Agreement without cause and that Great Southern must pay an early termination fee
in an amount to be proven at trial. Great Southern denies the allegations in the third-party vendor's counterclaim and will vigorously
defend itself. The parties continue informal settlement discussions, but there is no guarantee that the parties will reach a mutually
agreed upon settlement to terminate the litigation.
Great Southern now expects to continue operations with its current core banking provider, which will
allow Great Southern to offer its full array of products and services.
In 2025, the banking center at Benton and Chestnut in Springfield, Mo. will be replaced with a newly-constructed
building on the same property at 723 N. Benton. Construction on the new building is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2025,
with completion in the fourth quarter of 2025. During construction, customers will be served in a temporary facility on the property.
The Company also has 11 other banking centers and an Express Center in Springfield.
Kris Conley, Chief Retail Banking Officer, will retire in December 2024 after a notable career at Great
Southern Bank. He joined the company in 1998 and has led the retail banking division since 2010. During his tenure, Great Southern expanded
from 30 banking centers, mainly in southwest Missouri, to 89 banking centers across six states. In early 2023, Conley announced his retirement
plans to facilitate a smooth transition, with Laura Smith named as his successor. Smith, who has been with Great Southern since 2003,
previously managed the Company’s investment services division.
Kelly Polonus, Chief Communications & Marketing Officer, will also retire in December 2024, concluding
a distinguished 41-year career in banking, including the last 22 years at Great Southern Bank. She announced her retirement in mid-2023
to ensure a seamless management transition. Succeeding Polonus will be Stacy Fender, who joined Great Southern in June 2024 after serving
18 years in communications and marketing roles at a regional healthcare system.
The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, October 17, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to
discuss third quarter 2024 preliminary earnings. The call will be available live or in a recorded version at the Company’s Investor
Relations website, http://investors.greatsouthernbank.com. Participants may register for the call at https://register.vevent.com/register/BIcf52d5fdfdb24c6383d492e9d4e7b00b.
Headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, Great Southern offers a broad range of banking services to customers.

Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this press release and in other documents filed or furnished by Great Southern Bancorp,
Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in the Company's other press releases
or other public or stockholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the
words or phrases “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” "will likely result," "are expected
to," "will continue," "is anticipated," “believe,” "estimate," "project," "intends" or similar expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of announced transactions,
known trends and statements about future performance, operations, products and services of the Company. The Company’s ability to
predict results or the actual effects of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and the Company’s actual results could
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) expected
revenues, cost savings, earnings accretion, synergies and other benefits from the Company's merger and acquisition activities might
not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but
not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (ii) changes in economic conditions, either nationally
or in the Company's market areas; (iii) the remaining effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on general economic and financial market conditions
and on public health; (iv) fluctuations in interest rates, the effects of inflation or a potential recession, whether caused by Federal
Reserve actions or otherwise; (v) the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about
the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; (vi) slower economic growth caused by changes in energy prices,
supply chain disruptions or other factors; (vii) the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction
of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; (viii) the possibility
of realized or unrealized losses on securities held in the Company's investment portfolio; (ix) the Company's ability to access cost-effective
funding and maintain sufficient liquidity; (x) fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market
conditions; (xi) the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers' needs and developments in the marketplace;
(xii) the possibility that security measures implemented might not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack or cyber theft,
and that such security measures might not protect against systems failures or interruptions; (xiii) legislative or regulatory changes
that adversely affect the Company's business; (xiv) changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards; (xv) results
of examinations of the Company and Great Southern Bank by their regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among
other things, require the Company to limit its business activities, change its business mix, increase its allowance for credit losses,
write-down assets or increase its capital levels, or affect its ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could
adversely affect its liquidity and earnings; (xvi) costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; (xvii) competition;
and (xviii) natural disasters, war, terrorist activities or civil unrest and their effects on economic and business environments in which
the Company operates. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above and other risks described in the Company’s
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed or furnished from time to time by the Company with the SEC (which are available
on our website at www.greatsouthernbank.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov), could affect the Company's financial performance
and cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect
to future periods in any current statements.
The Company does not undertake-and specifically declines any obligation- to publicly release the result
of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
The following tables set forth selected consolidated financial information of the Company at the dates
and for the periods indicated. Financial data at all dates and for all periods is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
which consist only of normal recurring accrual adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results at and for such unaudited
dates and periods have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, and the three months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected
for any future period.

Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amounts of interest income
from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Average balances of loans receivable include the average balances of
non-accrual loans for each period. Interest income on loans includes interest received on non-accrual loans on a cash basis. Interest
income on loans includes the amortization of net loan fees, which were deferred in accordance with accounting standards. Net fees included
in interest income were $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net fees
included in interest income were $3.4 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Tax-exempt
income was not calculated on a tax equivalent basis. The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP financial information includes
the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio.
In calculating the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, we subtract period-end intangible
assets from common equity and from total assets. Management believes that the presentation of this measure excluding the impact of intangible
assets provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial condition and results of operations, as
it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management
also believes that providing a measure that excludes balances of intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates
the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that this is a standard financial
measure used in the banking industry to evaluate performance.
This non-GAAP financial measurement is supplemental and is not a substitute for any analysis based on
GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculation of non-GAAP measures, this presentation may not be comparable
to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
