CAPITOL FEDERAL FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FISCAL YEAR 2010 RESULTS
Topeka, KS – Capitol Federal Financial (Nasdaq: CFFN) (the “Company”) today announced that completion of its fiscal year end reports has been delayed due to the necessary allocation of resources to prepare and file an updated registration statement in connection with its pending second-step conversion. The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 will be timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about November 29, 2010 and posted on its website, http://ir.capfed.com.
Net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 is expected to be slightly higher than fiscal 2009. For the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company expects net income to be approximately 8% lower than the third fiscal quarter of 2010, primarily due to an increase in other expenses. The ratios of non-performing loans to total loans and non-performing assets to total assets are expected to remain generally consistent with June 30, 2010 levels. The Company intends to issue a detailed press release on its results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as soon as practical.

Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected. These forward-looking statements represent Capitol Federal Financial’s judgment as of the date of this release. Capitol Federal Financial disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
