NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kearny Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company conducts its business principally through the Bank. Management prepared the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including the elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions during consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period.

The data in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 was derived from the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. That data, along with the interim unaudited financial information presented in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Income, Comprehensive Income, Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and to general practice within the financial services industry. A discussion of these policies can be found in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since June 30, 2025.

2.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition date of September 30, 2025, for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The evaluation was conducted through the date this document was filed.

On October 22, 2025, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on November 19, 2025 to stockholders of record as of November 5, 2025.

3.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, and as amended in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires improved disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, including more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted.

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This ASU amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Available for sale securities are evaluated to determine if a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or from other factors. An impairment related to credit factors would be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value. An impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses shall be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Investment securities will be written down to fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Income if management intends to sell, or may be required to sell, the securities before they recover in value. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments and none of these securities were past due or were placed in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2025. The Company also monitors the credit quality of the issuers through credit ratings from various rating agencies. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are utilized by the Company to make informed decisions. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these securities are a function of changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, not changes in credit quality. No allowance for credit losses was recorded at September 30, 2025 on available for sale securities.

At September 30, 2025, the held to maturity securities portfolio consisted of agency mortgage-backed securities and obligations of state and political subdivisions. The mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government agencies and are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The obligations of state and political subdivisions in the portfolio are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The Company regularly monitors the obligations of state and political subdivisions sector of the market and reviews collectability including such factors as the financial condition of the issuers as well as credit ratings in effect as of the reporting period. No allowance for credit losses was recorded at September 30, 2025 on held to maturity securities.

As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, there were no holdings of debt securities of any one issuer, other than U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Nonperforming Loans

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractual payments become 90 or more days past due or when the Company does not expect to receive all principal and interest payments owed substantially in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, regardless of past due status. Loans that become 90 days or more past due, but are well secured and in the process of collection, may remain on accrual status. Nonaccrual loans are generally returned to accrual status when all payments due are brought current and the Company expects to receive all remaining principal and interest payments owed substantially in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Payments received in cash on nonaccrual loans, including both the principal and interest portions of those payments, are generally applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan. The Company did not recognize interest income on non-accrual loans during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following tables present information relating to the Company’s nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Of the loans restructured during the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no subsequent defaults as of September 30, 2025. For restructured loans, a subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due or classified into non-accrual status during the reporting period.

The following table presents the performance status of the loans that were modified in the last twelve months to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties:

Individually Analyzed Loans

Individually analyzed loans include loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans. Loans previously modified as TDRs and loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally evaluated for individual impairment. However, after a period of sustained repayment performance which permits the credit to be returned to accrual status, the loans are generally removed from individual impairment analysis and returned to its corresponding pool. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of individually analyzed loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality that were individually analyzed, totaled $44.1 million, of which $35.3 million were considered collateral dependent.

For collateral dependent loans where management has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit losses is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. See Note 12 for additional disclosure regarding fair value of individually analyzed collateral dependent loans.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – Loans that are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.

Special Mention – Loans which do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification but have some credit deficiencies or other potential weaknesses.

Substandard – Loans which are inadequately protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans which have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss – Loans which are considered uncollectible or of so little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Receivable

The following tables present the balance of the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The balance of the allowance for credit losses is based on an expected loss methodology, referred to as the “CECL” methodology. The tables identify the valuation allowances attributable to specifically identified impairments on individually analyzed loans, including those acquired with deteriorated credit quality, as well as valuation allowances for impairments on loans collectively evaluated. The tables include the underlying balance of loans receivable applicable to each category as of those dates.

The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased from $46.2 million at June 30, 2025 to $45.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in individually analyzed reserves on commercial and multi-family mortgage loans, resulting from net charge-offs. This decrease in allowance for credit losses also reflected largely offsetting impacts from qualitative risk factor adjustments across the different loan segments.

9.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company uses various financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to specific wholesale funding positions and assets.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Statement of Financial Condition

The tables below present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Total $ 16,745 $ 5,149

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses derivatives to add stability to interest expense and interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and an interest rate floor as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate products are designated as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a total of 15 interest rate swaps, caps and collars with a total notional amount of $1.80 billion hedging specific wholesale funding, and five interest rate floors with a notional amount of $550.0 million hedging floating-rate available for sale securities.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

For cash flow hedges on the Company’s wholesale funding positions, amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s hedged variable rate wholesale funding positions. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reclassified a gain of $5.4 million as a reduction in interest expense. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $7.6 million will be reclassified as a reduction in interest expense.

For cash flow hedges on the Company’s assets, amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s hedged variable rate assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reclassified a gain of $70,000 to interest income. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $110,000 will be reclassified as an increase in interest income.

The table below presents the pre-tax effects of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Three Months Ended<br>September 30,
2025 2024
(In Thousands)
Amount of gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income $ 103 $ (17,538)
Amount of gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense $ 5,377 $ 8,972
Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest income $ 70 $ (279)

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives are used to hedge the changes in fair value of certain of its pools of fixed-rate assets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had five interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $775.0 million hedging fixed-rate residential mortgage loans.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivatives as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

The table below presents the effects of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024:

Three Months Ended<br>September 30,

Gain on hedged items recorded in interest income on loans $ 573 $ 13,655
Gain (loss) on hedges recorded in interest income on loans $ 648 $ (10,798)

As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the following amounts were recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges:

September 30,<br>2025 June 30,<br>2025

Loans receivable:
Carrying amount of the hedged assets(1) $ 778,310 $ 777,737
Fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the hedged assets $ 3,310 $ 2,737

___________________________________

(1)This amount includes the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of loans receivable used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $1.21 billion and $1.24 billion, respectively.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations and could be required to terminate its derivative positions with the counterparty. The Company also has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to terminate its derivative positions with the counterparty. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, one of the Company’s derivatives was in a net liability position.

As required under the enforceable master netting arrangement with its derivatives counterparties, at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company was required to post financial collateral of $4.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

In addition to the derivative instruments noted above, the Company’s pipeline of loans held for sale at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, included $21.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of in process loans whose terms included interest rate locks to borrowers, which are considered free-standing derivative instruments whose fair values are not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The service-based RSUs will vest in three tranches over a period of three years and the performance-based RSUs will cliff vest upon the achievement of performance measures over the three-year period ending June 30, 2028. The number of performance-based RSUs that will vest, if any, will depend on whether, and to what extent, the performance measures are achieved. Common stock will be issued from authorized shares upon the vesting of the RSUs.

11.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis:

The following methods and significant assumptions were used to estimate the fair values as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Investment Securities Available for Sale

The Company’s available for sale investment securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things. From time to time, the Company validates prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from third-party sources or derived using internal models.

Derivatives

The Company has contracted with a third party vendor to provide periodic valuations for its interest rate derivatives to determine the fair value of its interest rate contracts. The vendor utilizes standard valuation methodologies applicable to interest rate derivatives such as discounted cash flow analysis and extensions of the Black-Scholes model. Such valuations are based upon readily observable market data and are therefore considered Level 2 valuations by the Company.

Those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025:

Individually Analyzed Collateral Dependent Loans

The fair value of collateral dependent loans that are individually analyzed is determined based upon the appraised fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. Such collateral primarily consists of real estate and, to a lesser extent, other business assets. Management may also adjust appraised values to reflect estimated changes in market values or apply other adjustments to appraised values resulting from its knowledge of the collateral. Internal valuations may be utilized to determine the fair value of other business assets. For non-collateral-dependent loans, management estimates fair value using discounted cash flows based on inputs that are largely unobservable and instead reflect management’s own estimates of the assumptions as a market participant would in pricing such loans. Individually analyzed collateral dependent loans are considered a Level 3 valuation by the Company.

Those assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below:

___________________________________

(1)The fair value of collateral dependent loans is generally determined based on an independent appraisal of the fair value of a loan’s underlying collateral.

(2)The fair value basis of collateral dependent loans is adjusted to reflect management’s estimates of selling costs including, but not limited to, real estate brokerage commissions and title transfer fees.

At September 30, 2025, collateral dependent loans valued using Level 3 inputs comprised loans with principal balances totaling $22.0 million and a valuation allowance of $1.0 million reflecting an aggregate fair value of $21.0 million. By comparison, at June 30, 2025, collateral dependent loans valued using Level 3 inputs comprised loans with principal balances totaling $22.5 million and a valuation allowance of $1.4 million reflecting an aggregate fair value of $21.1 million.

Once a loan is foreclosed, the fair value of the other real estate owned continues to be evaluated based upon the fair value of the repossessed real estate originally securing the loan. At September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company had no other real estate owned assets, respectively.

Commitments. The fair value of commitments to fund credit lines and originate or participate in loans held in portfolio or loans held for sale is estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, including those relating to loans held for sale that are considered derivative instruments for financial statement reporting purposes, the fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest and the committed rates. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure.

Limitations. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no fair value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment, and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. In addition, the ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include certain forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “will”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of those terms. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those management expectations. This includes statements regarding general economic and geopolitical conditions, including potential recessionary conditions and the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, the effects of the federal government shutdown, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities and failure to integrate or profitably operate acquired businesses. Additional potential factors include changes in interest rates, the rate of inflation, deposit flows, cost of funds, demand for loan products and financial services, competition and changes in the quality or composition of loan and investment portfolios of the Company. Other factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and prices. Further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or to make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. At September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reference is made to Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025

Executive Summary. Total assets decreased $92.4 million to $7.65 billion at September 30, 2025 from $7.74 billion at June 30, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected decreases in net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents, and declines in the market values of interest rate derivatives.

Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale increased $3.2 million to $1.02 billion at September 30, 2025, from $1.01 billion at June 30, 2025. This increase was largely the result of purchases of $71.2 million and an $11.4 million increase in the fair value of the portfolio to a net unrealized loss of $100.8 million, partially offset by principal repayments of $79.4 million.

Investment securities held to maturity decreased $3.5 million to $116.7 million at September 30, 2025 from $120.2 million at June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by principal repayments of $3.5 million.

Additional information regarding our investment securities at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Loans Held-for-Sale. Loans held-for-sale totaled $6.7 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to $5.9 million at June 30, 2025 and are reported separately from the balance of net loans receivable. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold $27.9 million of residential mortgage loans, resulting in a gain on sale of $199,000.

Additional information about our loan portfolio at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets increased $19.0 million to $64.6 million, or 0.84% of total assets, at September 30, 2025, from $45.6 million, or 0.59% of total assets, at June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase was due to a single construction loan that became 90 days past due but remains on accrual status. The loan is secured by collateral under contract for sale, with all covenants satisfied and a loan-to-sale price ratio of 72%. No provision for credit losses related to this loan was recorded as of September 30, 2025, as full repayment is expected upon completion of the sale.

Additional information about our nonperforming loans and loan modifications at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”). At September 30, 2025 the ACL totaled $45.1 million, or 0.78% of total loans, compared to $46.2 million, or 0.79% of total loans, at June 30, 2025. The ACL for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflected net charge-offs of $1.0 million.

Other Assets. The aggregate balance of other assets, including premises and equipment, FHLB stock, interest receivable, goodwill, core deposit intangibles, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”), deferred income taxes, and other assets, decreased $11.3 million to $656.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $667.3 million at June 30, 2025. The decrease in the balance of these other assets during the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily reflected a decrease in the market value of interest rate derivatives, a decrease in FHLB stock and a decrease in properties held for sale, partially offset by an increase in BOLI. The remaining change generally reflected normal operating fluctuations within these line items.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $43.3 million, or 0.8%, to $5.63 billion at September 30, 2025 from $5.68 billion at June 30, 2025. Included in total deposits are retail and brokered time deposits of $1.21 billion and $759.2 million, respectively, at September 30, 2025, and $1.22 billion and $757.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by declines in interest-bearing demand deposits and certificates of deposits. The following table sets forth the distribution of, and changes in, deposits, by type, for the periods indicated:

September 30,<br>2025 June 30,<br>2025 Increase/<br>(Decrease)

Uninsured deposits totaled $2.04 billion as of September 30, 2025 compared to $1.99 billion as of June 30, 2025. Excluding collateralized deposits of state and local governments, and deposits of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary and holding company, uninsured deposits totaled $804.2 million, or 14.3% of total deposits, at September 30, 2025 compared to $813.8 million, or 14.3% of total deposits, at June 30, 2025.

Additional information about our deposits at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings. The balance of borrowings decreased by $50.0 million to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2025 from $1.26 billion at June 30, 2025, reflecting reductions in FHLB advances.

At September 30, 2025, we maintained available secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window of $2.54 billion, representing 33.2% of total assets.

Additional information about our borrowings at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Other Liabilities. The balance of other liabilities, including advance payments by borrowers for taxes and other miscellaneous liabilities, decreased $6.4 million to $56.4 million at September 30, 2025 from $62.8 million at June 30, 2025. The change in the balance of these other liabilities generally reflected normal operating fluctuations during the period.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $7.2 million to $753.2 million at September 30, 2025 from $746.0 million at June 30, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity during the three months ended September 30, 2025 largely reflected net income of $9.5 million and an other comprehensive gain of $4.3 million, partially offset by cash dividends of $7.0 million. The other comprehensive gain for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by an increase in the fair value of our available for sale securities, partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of our derivatives portfolio.

Book value per share increased by $0.08 to $11.63 at September 30, 2025 while tangible book value per share increased by $0.09 to $9.86 at September 30, 2025. These increases were driven by the increases in stockholders’ equity, as described above.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

Net Income. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $9.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $6.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net income reflected increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and income taxes.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $5.3 million to $37.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to $32.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase between the comparative periods resulted from a decrease of $6.0 million in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $744,000 in interest income. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $601,000 and $649,000, and loan prepayment penalty income of $490,000 and $52,000.

Net interest margin increased 30 basis point to 2.10% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from 1.80% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 reflecting a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing borrowings, a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and higher average balances and yields on loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease in the average balances and yields on other interest-earning assets.

Table of Contents

Details regarding the composition of, and changes to, net interest income are presented in the table below which reflects the components of the average balance sheet and of net interest income for the periods indicated. We derived the average yields and costs by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented with daily balances used to derive average balances. No tax equivalent adjustments have been made to yield or costs. Non-accrual loans were included in the calculation of average balances, however interest receivable on these loans has been fully reserved for and therefore not included in interest income. The yields and costs set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Credit Losses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a reversal of credit losses of $82,000, compared to a provision for credit losses of $108,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The reversal for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was largely driven by decreases in the balance of loans receivable, partially offset by qualitative risk factor adjustments. By comparison, the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by loan growth.

Additional information regarding the ACL and the associated provisions recognized during the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements as well as the Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $1.2 million to $5.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Fees and service charges increased $257,000 to $892,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $635,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher deposit and branch related fee income.

Other income increased $818,000 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $833,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $749,000 on the sale of property held for sale in the current period.

The remaining changes in the other components of non-interest income between comparative periods generally reflected normal operating fluctuations within those line items.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $1.9 million to $31.7 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, compared to $29.8 million the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million to $18.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $17.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher salary expense and payroll taxes due to annual merit increases and increases in incentive and stock-based compensation due to the absence of a non-recurring decrease in stock-based compensation recorded in the prior period.

Net occupancy expense of premises increased $509,000 to $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a non-recurring pre-tax expense of $250,000 associated with the consolidation of three branches and non-recurring branch maintenance expenses of $102,000 in the current period.

Advertising and marketing expense increased $220,000 to $562,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $342,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase primarily reflects normal fluctuations in the timing of campaigns across various advertising formats supporting our loan and deposit growth initiatives.

Equipment and systems expense increased $114,000 to $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, largely driven by increases in technology expense associated with the Company’s ongoing digital banking initiatives.

FDIC insurance premiums decreased $262,000 to $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher capital ratios.

The remaining changes in the other components of non-interest expense between comparative periods generally reflected normal operating fluctuations within those line items.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $1.4 million to $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 from $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, reflecting a higher level of pre-tax income compared to the prior year period.

Effective tax rates for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 20.6% and 15.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher full year projected taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, cash flows from investment securities and loans receivable and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization and maturity of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and prepayments on loans and securities.

At September 30, 2025, liquidity included $130.1 million of short-term cash and cash equivalents and $1.02 billion of investment securities available for sale. As of September 30, 2025, we had the capacity to borrow additional cash funds totaling $1.98 billion, comprised of $1.23 billion and $745.8 million from the Federal Reserve discount window and the FHLBNY, respectively, without pledging additional collateral. We had the ability to pledge additional securities to borrow an additional $566.8 million at September 30, 2025. As of that same date, we also had access to unsecured overnight borrowings with other financial institutions totaling $845.0 million, of which none was outstanding.

At September 30, 2025, we had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase loans totaling $72.1 million while such commitments totaled $26.4 million at June 30, 2025. As of those same dates, our pipeline of loans held for sale included $21.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of loans in process whose terms included interest rate locks to borrowers that were paired with a best-efforts commitment to sell the loan to a buyer at a fixed price and within a predetermined timeframe after the sale commitment is established.

Construction loans in process and unused lines of credit were $137.4 million and $177.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2025, compared to $115.7 million and $177.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025. We are also subject to the contingent liabilities resulting from letters of credit totaling $595,000 at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, the Bank actively seeks to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution in accordance with regulatory standards.

The following table sets forth the Bank’s capital position at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, as compared to the minimum regulatory capital requirements that were in effect as of those dates:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of our business of investing in loans and securities we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments include significant purchase commitments, such as commitments related to capital expenditure plans and commitments to extend credit to meet the financing needs of our customers. We had no significant off-balance sheet commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2025.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates and as such, interest rate risk is a significant form of market risk that we must manage. Interest rate risk is generally defined in regulatory nomenclature as the risk to earnings or capital arising from the movement of interest rates and arises from several risk factors including re-pricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk and option risk. We maintain an Asset/Liability Management (“ALM”) program in order manage our interest rate risk. The program is overseen by the Board of Directors through its Interest Rate Risk Management Committee which has assigned the responsibility for the operational aspects of the ALM program to our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of various members of the senior and executive management team.

The quantitative analysis that we conduct measures interest rate risk from both a capital and earnings perspective. With regard to earnings, movements in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve significantly influence the amount of net interest income (“NII”) that we recognize. Movements in market interest rates, and the effect of such movements on the risk factors noted above, significantly influence the spread between the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our internal interest rate risk analysis calculates the sensitivity of our projected NII over a one year period utilizing a static balance sheet assumption through which incoming and outgoing asset and liability cash flows are reinvested into similar instruments. Product pricing and earning asset prepayment speeds are appropriately adjusted for each rate scenario.

With regard to capital, our internal interest rate risk analysis calculates the sensitivity of our Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) to movements in interest rates. EVE represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet instruments. EVE attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology. The degree to which our EVE changes for any hypothetical interest rate scenario from its base case measurement is a reflection of our sensitivity to interest rate risk.

For both earnings and capital at risk, our interest rate risk analysis calculates a base case scenario that assumes no change in interest rates. The model then measures changes throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve up and down 100, 200 and 300 basis points with additional scenarios modeled where appropriate. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates.

The following tables present the results of our internal EVE and NII analyses as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively:

Table of Contents

There are numerous internal and external factors that may contribute to changes in our EVE and its sensitivity. Changes in the composition and allocation of our balance sheet, or utilization of off-balance sheet instruments such as derivatives, can significantly alter the exposure to interest rate risk as quantified by the changes in the EVE sensitivity measures. Changes to certain external factors, most notably changes in the level of market interest rates and overall shape of the yield curve, can also alter the projected cash flows of our interest-earning assets and interest-costing liabilities and the associated present values thereof.

Notwithstanding the rate change scenarios presented in the EVE and NII-based analyses above, future interest rates and their effect on net interest income are not predictable. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, prepayments and deposit run-offs and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Certain shortcomings are inherent in this type of computation. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of re-pricing, they may react at different times and in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate on certain types of assets and liabilities, such as demand deposits and savings accounts, may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, generally have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the analyses set forth above. Additionally, an increase in credit risk may result as the ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

ITEM 4.
