UNIONDALE, N.Y., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ-GS: FFIC)

John R. Buran, President and CEO Commentary

“Our successful deposit strategy, the integration of Empire National Bank and the reopening of the New York metro area, resulted in a strong quarter for our Company. Quarterly GAAP EPS of $0.61 resulted in an increase of 2% over the prior quarter. We achieved record core EPS of $0.73, up 103% YoY and 35% QoQ. Importantly, we recognized GAAP ROAA and ROAE of 0.93% and 11.95%, respectively, and record core ROAA and ROAE of 1.11% and 14.27%, respectively.”

“We delivered on our strategic objective of optimizing the cost of funds. The cost of funds decreased four basis points from the prior quarter while the average deposit mix continued to improve with both non-interest bearing and core deposits increasing 8% and 5% (not annualized), respectively. The fifth consecutive quarter of record net interest income equaled $61.0 million, despite total assets remaining flat. We also performed well against our strategic objective to obtain appropriate risk adjusted returns as credit quality improved due to non-performing assets decreasing 17% QoQ.”

- John R. Buran, President and CEO

Empire Exceeding Expectations. “The results of the acquisition of Empire National Bank have exceeded our expectations. When the acquisition was announced, tangible book value earn back was modeled at 3.4 years. Our tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2021 totaling $20.51 exceeds the tangible book value per share of $20.22 as of September 30, 2020, the reported value when the deal closed and the tangible book value per share of $19.62 as of September 30, 2019, the reported value when the deal was announced. This accomplishment provided investors with an earn back of 9 months as management actions to achieve targeted cost saves and improved NIM were successful despite the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent delays.”

Strong Capital; Increased Share Repurchase Authorization. “The capital ratios increased during the quarter with TCE/TA increasing to 7.80%. The Board of Directors authorized an increase of 1 million shares to our current share repurchase program, which now totals nearly 1.3 million shares and had no expiration. With our history of a low inherent risk business model, low loan to values for our real estate loans along with improved credit metrics, we are confident in our ability to support an increased stock repurchase program.”

⁽¹⁾ Ratios are presented on an annualized basis, where appropriate.
⁽²⁾ Yields are calculated on the tax equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.
⁽³⁾ Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated by dividing non-interest expense (excluding merger expense, OREO expense, prepayment penalty on borrowings, the net gain/loss from the sale of OREO and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) by the total of net interest income (excluding net gains and losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) and non-interest income (excluding life insurance proceeds, net gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities, assets and fair value adjustments).
⁽⁴⁾ Calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity by shares outstanding.
⁽⁵⁾ Calculated by dividing tangible stockholders’ common equity, a non-GAAP measure, by shares outstanding. Tangible stockholders’ common equity is stockholders’ equity less intangible assets (goodwill, net of deferred taxes). See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP EARNINGS and CORE EARNINGS

Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings

The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to swaps designated to protect against rising rates and borrowing carried at fair value under the fair value option. As the swaps get closer to maturity, the volatility in fair value adjustments will dissipate. In a declining interest rate environment, the movement in the curve exaggerates our mark-to-market loss position. In a rising interest rate environment or a steepening of the yield curve, the loss position would experience an improvement.

Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Base Net Interest Income FTE, Base Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Base Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Non-interest Income, Core Non-interest Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this release. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and non-interest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as these are measures commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity.

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
