    John R. Buran, President and CEO Commentary

    UNIONDALE, N.Y., Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Company reported third quarter 2021 GAAP EPS of $0.81, up 62.0% YoY, ROAA of 1.26% and ROAE of 15.42%. For the period, Core EPS of $0.88 increased 57.1% YoY with ROAA of 1.38% and ROAE of 16.88%. The strong results were from the successful implementation of our business strategy resulting in the sixth consecutive quarter of record net interest income, a record loan pipeline, and the second consecutive quarter of record core earnings.

    “Loans, excluding SBA Payment Protection Program (“PPP”), were flat QoQ but increased 12% YoY. The Company’s loan pipeline increased 35% YoY and 23% QoQ to record levels as the metro New York City economy continues to normalize. Additionally, there have been eight announced or recently closed bank mergers in the Long Island market. The market has $328 billion of deposits and 18% or $60 billion involve a merger participant. As a leading community bank in this market, Flushing Bank is poised to benefit from merger disruption. The combination of an improving economy, broad based and record loan pipelines, and merger disruption should lead to positive loan growth into 2022.”

    - John R. Buran, President and CEO

    Sixth Consecutive Quarter of Record Net Interest Income; Favorable Outlook. Net interest income of $63.4 million increased 27% YoY and 4% QoQ. NIM expanded 20 bps to 3.34% from 3.14% in 2Q21, while Core NIM increased by 13 bps to 3.27% during the same period. NIM expansion was the result of cost of funds declining 4 bps, while asset yields increased 15 bps, with 8 bps due to the change in hedge fair values, increased purchase accounting accretion, and net prepayment penalty income. The funding mix improved with core deposits totaling 84% of average deposits and average borrowings declined 37% YoY. Weighted average rate on loan closings (ex PPP) rose 13 bps QoQ and the steeper yield curve should have a positive impact on net interest income over time.

    Capital Target Achieved; Share Repurchase Activity Resumes. Following the closing of the Empire acquisition approximately one year ago, the Company announced the goal of a TCE ratio of 8% or better by the end of 2021. This target was achieved during 3Q21 even as the Company repurchased 285,643 shares of common stock at an average price of $22.42 per share. Our capital priorities remain to 1) profitabily grow the balance sheet, 2) return dividends to shareholders, and 3) opportunistically repurchase shares.

    (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”.
    (6) See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.
    (7) Excludes performing non-accrual 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 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.
