Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ORGANIZATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Axos Financial, Inc. (“Axos”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Axos Bank (the “Bank”) and Axos Nevada Holding, LLC (“Axos Nevada Holding,” collectively, the “Company”). Axos, the Bank and Axos Nevada Holding comprise substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses. Axos Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries constitute the Banking Business segment and Axos Nevada Holding and its wholly owned subsidiaries constitute the Securities Business segment. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of the Company’s financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or net cash flows from/used in operating activities, investing activities or financing activities. Axos Financial, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 6, 1999 for the purpose of organizing and launching an internet-based savings bank. The Bank, which opened for business over the internet on July 4, 2000, is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), its primary regulator. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures the Bank’s deposit accounts up to the maximum allowable amount. Axos Clearing LLC, a clearing broker dealer, is regulated by the SEC and FINRA. Axos Invest, a platform through which digital investment advisory services are offered to retail investors, is regulated by the SEC and FINRA. Business. The Company provides banking and securities products and services to its customers through its online and low-cost distribution channels and affinity partners. The Bank’s deposit products are demand accounts, savings and money market accounts, and time deposits marketed to consumers and businesses located in all fifty states. The Bank’s lending products include residential single family mortgage, multifamily mortgage, commercial mortgage loans, loans secured by commercial real estate properties (“CRE”), loans secured by commercial assets and non-bank lenders (Commercial & Industrial - Non-Real Estate), auto and unsecured loans and other loans. The Bank’s lending business is primarily concentrated in California and New York and is subject to the general economic conditions of those states. Securities products and services generate interest and fee income by providing comprehensive securities clearing and custody services to introducing broker-dealers and registered investment advisor correspondents and digital investment advisory services to retail investors, respectively. Use of Estimates. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, fair value of trading and available-for-sale debt securities and the valuation of goodwill and intangibles. Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for certain revenue streams under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides that an entity shall recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Certain non-interest income, such as deposit service fees, advisory fee income and broker-dealer clearing fees, are within the scope of ASC 606. Advisory Fee Income—Asset-Based Custody Fees and Asset-Based Fund Fees. Asset-based custody fees consist of custody fees, and other ancillary fees. Custody fees vary based on a percentage of average customer assets under custody. Other ancillary fees may be charged based on average customer assets or based on specific activity. Revenue is recognized over the period where assets are held as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits. Asset-based fund fees consist of 12b-1 and mutual fund stockholder services fees and are paid by mutual fund companies periodically based on the underlying agreements. Asset-based fund fees are charged based on a percentage of client assets invested in certain funds. Revenue is calculated each month based on the average daily assets invested in particular funds. Revenue is recognized over the period where assets are invested in certain funds. The performance obligations relate to providing recordkeeping, stockholder and administration services to mutual fund companies and revenue recognition is constrained until the amount of average assets invested in each fund is known. Broker-Dealer Clearing Fees. The Company earns revenues for executing, settling and clearing securities transactions for other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Revenues associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying security or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. The Company also earns revenues for services which are separately identifiable and represent a distinct performance obligation which is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits. Certain clearing or other related fees represent a modification of the original contract as they are distinct services. All trade and execution services are priced at their standalone selling price. Clearing and other fees are generally deducted from the introducing brokers’ commissions on a monthly basis. Banking and Service Fees—Deposit Service Fees. Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, when incurred. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Banking and Service Fees—Card Fees. Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Banking and Service Fees—Bankruptcy Trustee and Fiduciary Service Fees. Bankruptcy Trustee and Fiduciary Service income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the Monthly Basis Point Fee and Bank Account Service Charge. The products and services provided to the Trustee also indirectly provide additional deposits to the other banks. One of the uses of the increased deposits by the other banks is to fund the fees paid. The performance obligation is satisfied when the deposits are increased (or decreased) at the end of each month. The expected value method will be used to calculate and record the estimated revenue at the beginning of each month with a subsequent reconciliation to actual at the end of each month. The following presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of ASC 606 for the periods indicated:

Contract Balances. A contract asset or receivable is recognized if the Company performs a service or transfers a good in advance of receiving consideration. A contract liability is recognized if the Company receives consideration (or has the unconditional right to receive consideration) in advance of performance. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company’s contract assets and liabilities were not considered material. Other. Income from bank owned life insurance is accounted for in accordance with ASC 325, Investments - Other. Increases in the net cash surrender value of the policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in non-interest income and are not subject to income taxes. Lending related income includes fees earned from gains or losses on the sale of loans, SBA income, and letter of credit fees. Gains and losses on the sale of loans and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) income are recognized pursuant to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Gain or loss on the sale of financial assets is measured as the net assets received from the sale less the carrying amount of the loan sold. The net assets received from the sale represent the fair value of any assets obtained or liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, including but not limited to cash, servicing assets, retained securitization investments and recourse obligations. Fees related to standby letters of credit are accounted for in accordance with ASC 440, Commitments. Net gain or loss on sales / valuations of repossessed and other assets is presented as a component of non-interest expense but may also be presented as a component of non-interest income in the event that a net gain is recognized. Net gain or loss on sales of repossessed and other assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 610, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Bank’s cash, due from banks, money market mutual funds and federal funds sold, all of which have original maturities within 90 days, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The table below presents Cash and Cash Equivalents based on non-interest-earning and interest-earning status.
| At June 30,
(Dollars in thousands) | 2023 |  | 2022
Non-interest-earning cash and cash equivalents | $ | 92,645 |  |  | $ | 35,467 |
Interest-earning cash and cash equivalents | 2,289,441 |  |  | 1,539,232 |
Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,382,086 |  |  | $ | 1,574,699 |
Cash segregated for regulatory purposes. This line item includes qualified deposits in special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of Axos Clearing customers in accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other regulations. Securities. The Company classifies securities at the time of purchase depending on intent. 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. Securities available-for-sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effects, excluded from operations and reported as a separate component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. 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. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates at the individual security level whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The remaining change in fair value is recognized in “Other comprehensive income” on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses, if any, are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the available-for-sale investment security is confirmed as uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Loans (including Direct Financing & Sales Type Leases). Loans that are held for investment are loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity 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 credit loss - loans. 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. Single Family - Mortgage & Warehouse. The Single Family - Mortgage & Warehouse portfolio segment primarily consists of two loan types: single family mortgage loans and single family warehouse lines of credit. The single family mortgage loans consist of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans secured by one-to-four family residences located in the U.S. Terms typically range from 15 to 30 years. The single family warehouse lines of credit enable the mortgage originators to close loans in their own names and temporarily finance inventories of closed mortgage loans until they can be sold to an approved investor. The Company also originates home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans. Multifamily and Commercial Mortgage. The Multifamily and Commercial Mortgage portfolio segment consists of loans secured by multifamily real estate (more than four units) and commercial real estate (typically from $0.5 million to $50 million). These loans are dependent on the cash flow capacity of the project and repayment of loans secured by properties frequently depends on their successful operation and management. Commercial Real Estate. The Commercial Real Estate portfolio segment consists of loans across the U.S. secured by commercial real estate properties (“CRE”) under a variety of structures that it classifies as commercial real estate. A few examples are as follows: Commercial Bridge to Sale, Commercial Bridge to Construction, Commercial Bridge to Refinance and Acquisition, Development, Construction and Lender Finance. CRE Loans are originated to businesses secured by first liens on single family, multifamily, condominium, office, retail, mixed-use, hospitality, undeveloped or to-be-redeveloped land. Repayment of CRE loans depends on the successful completion of the real estate transition project and permanent take-out. Commercial & Industrial - Non-Real Estate (Non-RE). The Commercial & Industrial - Non-Real Estate portfolio segment consists of commercial and industrial non-real estate, asset-backed loans, lines of credit, term loans, leveraged cash flow loans and equipment financing leases. These receivables are generally secured by commercial assets, including, but not limited to, receivables, inventory and equipment. For commercial and industrial non-real estate, asset backed loans and line of credit term loans, the Company typically enters into a structured facility, under which it takes a senior lien position collateralized by the underlying assets at advance rates well below the collateral value. Leveraged cash flow loans provide financial sponsors the ability to finance acquisitions, management buy-outs, recapitalizations, debt refinancing and dividends/distributions. Such lending relies on free cash flow as the primary repayment source, and enterprise value as the secondary repayment source. The Company’s equipment financing lease arrangements do not qualify as a sale as the Company does not obtain control of the assets in the ongoing sale leaseback arrangements. Therefore, the leased equipment is not capitalized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Direct financing leases and sales-type leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased property less unearned income, which is accreted to interest income over the lease terms using methods that approximate the interest method. Operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis and is included within the Loans, including fees, line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Leases generally do not contain non-lease components. Commercial and industrial leases are primarily made based on the operating cash flows of the borrower or conversion of working capital assets to cash and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Auto and Consumer. The Auto and Consumer portfolio segment consists of the following distinct classes: Auto. The Auto class consists of prime loans to customers secured by new and used vehicles. The Company holds all of the auto loans originated and performs loan servicing functions for these loans. Auto loans carry a fixed interest rate and have terms that range from two to eight years. Certain auto loans are insured for credit losses through which the Company recognizes fee income in “Banking and service fees” in the Consolidated Statements of Income upon the receipt of insurance proceeds following the charge off of the loans. Any receivables related to these policies are included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Consumer Unsecured Lending. The Consumer Unsecured Lending class consists of fixed rate unsecured loans to well-qualified, individual borrowers in all fifty states. Loans are normally in the range between $7,000 and $50,000 with terms that range between 36 months and 72 months. Other. Other loans include structured settlements, SBA loans issued pursuant to the Federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) Act and account overdraft loans. Recognition of interest income on all portfolio segments is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans 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 placed on nonaccrual, is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans 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. Loans held for sale includes agency loans and non-agency loans held for sale. Agency loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses are recognized through mortgage banking income in 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. The Company has elected the fair value option for Agency loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and the Company believes that the fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the loan and in accordance with the Company’s policy on loans held for investment. Loans that were originated with the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future (loans held for investment), 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 using pools of loans with similar characteristics. Upon transfer, the Company assesses the collectability of the outstanding principal balance and may charge-off a portion of the loan as discussed further below in “Allowance for Credit Losses.” Following this assessment, any previously established ACL on the held for investment loan is reversed and the loan is transferred at amortized cost. If, following transfer to held for sale, the fair value of the loan is below its amortized cost a valuation allowance is established for the difference. There may be times when loans have been classified as held for sale and cannot be sold or the Company has the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or to maturity and the loans are transferred to held for investment. For loans transferred from the lower of cost or fair value held for sale classification, any valuation allowance is reversed upon transfer and the loan is transferred at amortized cost and is then assessed for any potential allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). Allowance for Credit Losses. The ACL is a valuation account that offsets the amortized cost basis of loans and net investment in leases. Under ASC 326, amortized cost is the basis on which the ACL is determined. Amortized cost is principal outstanding, net of any purchase premiums and discounts and net of any deferred loan fees and costs. Credit losses are charged off when the Company believes that collectability of at least some portion of outstanding principal is unlikely. These charge-offs are recorded as a reversal, thereby reducing, the allowance for credit losses. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are recorded as an increase to the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level needed to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life, considering the effects of prepayments, of the loan portfolio as of the reporting date. Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is complex and requires judgment by Management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As such, a future assessment of current conditions may require material adjustments to the allowance. The Company’s process for determining expected life-time credit losses entails a portfolio, model-based approach utilizing loan level detail and requires consideration of a broad range of relevant information relating to historical loss experience, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. A credit loss is estimated for all loans. Consequently, the Company stratifies the full loan population into segments sharing similar characteristics to perform the evaluation of the credit loss collectively. The Company defines a loan portfolio segment as the level at which the Company develops a systematic methodology to determine the allowance, which is generally based on similar risk attributes, including underlying collateral, as well as the Company’s methods for monitoring credit risk and other factors. The Company categorizes the loan portfolio into six segments: Single Family - Mortgage & Warehouse, Multifamily and Commercial Mortgage, Commercial Real Estate, including construction lending, Commercial & Industrial - Non Real Estate, Auto & Consumer and Other. For further information on these loan portfolio segments, see “Loans” herein. The method for estimating expected life-time credit losses includes, among other things, the following main components: 1) The use of a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model; 2) defining a number of economic scenarios across the benign to adverse spectrum; 3) a reasonable forecast period of 24 months for all loan segments; and 4) a reversion period of 12 months using a linear transition to historical loss rates for each loan pool. After the reversion period, the historical loss rate is applied over the remaining contractual life of loan. Reasonable forecast periods and reversion periods are subject to periodic review and may be adjusted based on the Company’s view of current economic conditions. The results of the estimate are calculated for several scenarios across the benign to adverse spectrum for each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments. The weighting of scenarios is subject to periodic review and may be adjusted based on the Company’s view of current economic conditions. Given the inherent limitations of a solely quantitative model, qualitative adjustments are included to arrive at the ending calculated loss amount in order to account for data points not captured from quantitative inputs alone. Qualitative criteria we consider includes, among other things, the following: •Regulatory and Legal - matters that may impact the timeliness and/or amounts of repayments; •Concentration - portfolio composition and loan concentration; •Collateral Dependency - changes in collateral values; •Lending/Underwriting Standards - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies; •Nature and Volume - loan production volume and mix; •Macroeconomic Environment - considerations not reflected in the data utilized in the model; and •Loan Trends - credit performance trends, including a borrower’s financial condition and credit rating. Specifically, Management reviews whether the model reflects the appropriate level of PD and LGD, given the macroeconomic forecasts used as compared to the Company’s loan portfolio. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses based on reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, expectations about future economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, including loan-to-value ratios, and other pertinent factors. If, based on Management’s evaluation, macroeconomic factors do not capture Management’s assumption regarding collateral values (LGD) and defaults (PD), Management will apply additional qualitative overlays to the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accrued Interest. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from amortized cost and is presented separately in “Other Assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company does not estimate an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company has a policy to charge off accrued interest deemed uncollectible in a timely manner. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, which occurs when a borrower becomes delinquent by 90 days, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Individually Assessed Loans. Credit loss is estimated for any individual loan on a collective basis, unless an individual loan’s credit characteristics has deteriorated below a range of the overall group, in which case the loan would then be individually assessed. Individually assessed loans are measured for credit loss based on present value of future expected cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, if the loan is collateral-dependent. Loan Commitments. Loans commitments not unconditionally cancellable are subject to an estimate of credit loss under a current expected credit loss model. The Company’s process for determining the estimate of credit loss on loan commitments is the same as it is on loans. Refer to detail of Allowance on Credit Losses above. Allowance on Credit Losses of off-balance sheet commitments is presented separately in “Accounts payable and other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases - Lessee Arrangements. The Company leases office space under operating lease agreements scheduled to expire at various dates. The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, Leases. At lease commencement, lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is a blended rate comprised of the FHLB term rate and the Company’s subordinated debt rate. Right-of-use assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made prior to lease commencement and for any lease incentives. Right-of-use assets are reported in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related lease liabilities are reported in “Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities.” All leases are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in “Occupancy and equipment” expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing assets are recognized when rights are retained upon sale of loans. The Company measures its servicing asset using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, the servicing rights are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which the changes occur and the adjustments are included in “Mortgage banking income,” a component of non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives. Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to economically hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also makes markets in interest rate swap and cap derivatives to facilitate customer demand. The Company enters into offsetting derivative transactions to offset its interest rate risk associated with this customer transaction activity. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives, and related fees, are included in “Banking and service fees” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Furniture, Equipment and Software. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to seven years and recorded within “Depreciation and amortization”, which is a component of non-interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets’ useful lives or the lease term. Furniture, equipment and software are included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income Taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance when management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. An income tax position will be recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service, based upon its technical merits. Once that status is met, the amount recorded will be the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned. Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are reported as collateralized financings and recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount in excess of the fair value of securities loaned. The Company monitors the fair value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary. Customer, Broker-Dealer and Clearing Receivables and Payables. Customer, broker-dealer and clearing receivables include receivables of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries, which represent amounts due on cash and margin transactions and are generally collateralized by securities owned by clients. These receivables primarily consist of floating-rate loans collateralized by customer-owned securities. The receivables are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of allowance for doubtful accounts. When a receivable is considered to be impaired, and impairment charge is recorded based on the current estimate of credit loss for the receivable, which is measured based on current prices from independent sources, such as listed market prices or broker-dealer price quotations. Securities owned by customers, including those that collateralize margin or other similar transactions, are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Also included in these accounts are receivables and payables from brokers and dealers and clearing organizations as well as securities failed to deliver and receive. Business Combinations. Mergers and acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets and liabilities acquired and assumed are recorded at their fair values as of the date of the transaction. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Significant estimates and judgments are involved in the fair valuation and purchase price allocation process. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to periodic impairment testing. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are amortized to “Depreciation and amortization,” a component of non-interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income, using accelerated or straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful lives. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level, which is conducted at least annually. The Company performs impairment testing during the third quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing updated qualitative factors, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of other intangible assets. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, market comparisons and recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions including projected future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the market rate of return, projected growth rates and determination and evaluation of appropriate market comparable. Earnings per Common Share. Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are presented under two formats: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stock (net income after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year and the unvested average of participating restricted stock units (“RSU”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common stock and dividends on diluted preferred stock by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year and the impact of dilutive potential common shares, such as nonparticipating RSUs and convertible preferred stock. The Company accounts for unvested stock-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, “dividends”) as participating securities and includes the awards in the EPS calculation using the two-class method. Under the two class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Under the Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), RSUs have no stockholder rights, meaning they are not entitled to dividends and are considered nonparticipating. These nonparticipating RSUs are not included in the basic earnings per common share calculation and are included in the diluted earnings per common share calculation using the treasury stock method. Stock-Based Compensation. Compensation cost is recognized for RSU awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for RSU awards. The Company has certain share awards that include market conditions that affect vesting. The fair value of these awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with only a service condition that have a graded vesting schedule, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards that contain a market condition and have a graded vesting schedule compensation cost is recognized using an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period for the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures by recognizing forfeitures when they occur. Stock of Regulatory Agencies. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system. Members are required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Axos Securities, LLC is a member of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”), a financial services company providing clearing and settlement services to the financial markets. Members are required to own a certain amount of DTCC stock based on the clearing levels and other factors. DTCC stock is carried at fair value, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”). The Company invests as a limited partner in LIHTC partnerships that operate qualified affordable housing projects which generate tax benefits for investors through the realization of tax credits and deductions, which may be subject to recapture by taxing authorities if compliance requirements are not met. We amortize the investment in proportion to the allocated tax benefits using the proportional amortization method of accounting and record such benefits net of investment amortization in income taxes on the consolidated statements of income. The investment is included within “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance. The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Cash surrender value of life insurance is included in the other assets line on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes to the cash surrender value are recorded within “Banking and service fees”, which is a component of non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity. The method for determining the cost basis of securities sold or reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings is based on the value of the specific security and any previously recognized gain or loss associated with that specific security. Loss Contingencies. The Company records an accrual for a loss contingency when the estimated loss is both probable and reasonably estimated. New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted as of June 30, 2023 The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued three Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) (2020-04, 2021-04 and 2022-06) all of which provide guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions apply only to those transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Company adopted these ASUs on July 1, 2023 and there was no impact on its financial condition or results of operations upon adoption. In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02 which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2023 and there was no impact on its financial condition or results of operations upon adoption. The Company will be required to update certain disclosures around financing receivables and net investment in leases beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.
