Appendix: Comparable Criteria (1 of 2)

Back to Appendix

Each of the 4 peers identified as best-fit cases for CFFN were chosen based on all having met the following criteria:

Saving & Loans, not Commercial Banks• Thrifts like CFFN hold loan portfolios that are typically dominated by residential RE. To qualify as a thrift charter in the eyes of regulators and the

Federal Home Loan Bank, these depository institutions must have 65% of its assets in “qualified thrift investments”. These assets can include mixes of SFR RE mortgages, multifamily RE mortgages, and MBS which gives some leeway to the type of loans extended by each S&L.

Total Assets near $10 Billion• Our sample peer group includes two S&L institutions just under $10 billion in assets, as is this case with CFFN, and two additional S&Ls who have

crossed over the $10 Billion in assets mark.

Federal Home Loan Bank membership• Each of the 4 peers analyzed are qualifying members of the FHLB. In exchange for receiving FHLB advances at or near comparable treasury rates,

these members must own a portion of FHLB stock and remain recognized as a qualified thrift charter.

Active Dividend• Each of the 4 peers are dividend paying stocks with an average dividend yield of 2.37% compared to CFFN’s fallacious 2.22% dividend advertised on

Bloomberg. It is noteworthy that no identifiable S&L firms with similar capital structure to CFFN pay biannual special dividends on a regular basis that result in a regular payout ratio of 100%+.

Similar levels of Excess Capital• It is critically important to look at relative capital levels when comparing Price/Book Value multiples to ensure that an apples-to-apples comparison is

being made because most investors are unwilling to pay a premium for a bank’s ‘excess equity’. The peer group identified holds excess capital twice the required minimum set forth by regulatory authorities with an average Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 12.0%.
