Flushing Financial Corporation Reports 2Q22 GAAP EPS of $0.81 and Core EPS of $0.70

Record Loan Closings; Loan Growth with Stable NIM QoQ

John R. Buran, President and CEO Commentary

UNIONDALE, N.Y., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Company reported second quarter 2022 GAAP EPS of $0.81, up 32.8% YoY, with a ROAA of 1.22%, and ROAE of 15.0%. Core 2Q22 EPS was $0.70, a decrease of 4.1% YoY, with a ROAA of 1.05% and the ROAE of 12.90%.

“Record loan closings of $504 million drove a 3.4% YoY increase in net loans, excluding PPP. Core loan yields increased 11 bps QoQ compared to only 7 bps for core deposit costs. 2Q22 was the first quarter since 2020 where yields on loan closings exceeded yields on satisfactions excluding PPP. Despite our liability sensitive balance sheet, the NIM was stable QoQ, however, the pace and magnitude of rate increases this cycle are stronger than anticipated and will likely pressure the NIM going forward. A partial offset to this pressure is $986 million of loans that reprice within the quarter and an additional $1.3 billion of loans that are scheduled to reprice or mature through the end of 2023. The Bank continues to grow noninterest bearing deposits, which are now over 16% of average deposits, up from 14.2% a year ago. We opened our 25th branch this quarter in Elmhurst further expanding our footprint in the Asian community. Given the low risk nature of our loan portfolio (>87% real estate based, average LTVs of <38%, and strong debt coverage ratios), the Company is well positioned to handle any potential economic downturn affecting credit markets.”

- John R. Buran, President and CEO

NIM Stable QoQ; Loan Pipeline Remains Strong. Record net interest income of $64.7 million increased 6.0% YoY and 2.0% QoQ. NIM FTE was 3.35% in 2Q22 compared to 3.36% in 1Q22 and 3.14% a year ago. Core NIM FTE increased by 19 bps to 3.33% YoY and 2 bps QoQ. Period end net loans, excluding PPP, increased 2.6% QoQ, with commercial business and other loans growing 3.2%. Record loan closings, excluding PPP, were up 63% YoY and repayment speeds remained elevated. The Company continued to benefit from the merger disruption in our markets as we have hired 42 people, including 18 revenue producers since March 31, 2021 from institutions involved with mergers.

Returned 61% of Earnings in 2Q22; Tangible Book Value Per Share Increased 6% YoY. The Company repurchased 387,689 shares of common stock at an average price of $22.01 during the quarter. Book value and tangible book value per share were $22.38 and $21.71, respectively, while TCE/TA1 was 7.82% at June 30, 2022 compared to 8.05% at March 31, 2022.

(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 noninterest 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 noninterest 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”.
(6) See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.
(7) Excludes performing nonaccrual TDR loans.

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 Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest 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 noninterest 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.
