FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Service Corporation and FSB Properties Inc., which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

​

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company would not absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

When necessary, certain reclassifications were made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the prior period net income or shareholders’ equity and were insignificant amounts.

​

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. Management performed a qualitative review of goodwill at September 30, 2023, concluding no impairment was indicated.

The Company reviewed each available for sale security that had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. If the Company identifies any decline in the fair value due to credit loss factors and evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, then the present value of cash flows that is expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. All of these securities are rated investment grade or above and have a long history of no credit losses. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

In determining the risk of loss for available for sale securities, the Company considered that mortgage-backed securities are either fully guaranteed or issued by a government sponsored enterprise, which has a credit rating and perceived credit risk comparable to the U.S. government, and that issuers of the collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and the issuer of corporate securities are global systematically important banks. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. Based on this review, management believes that the unrealized losses have resulted from other factors not deemed credit-related and no allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company reviewed each held-to-maturity security at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 as part of its quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) process, resulting in an allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million at each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

It is the Company’s policy to exclude accrued interest receivable from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity and the valuation of available for sale securities. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.1 million each at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $6.7 million and $3.7 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

5. Loans

The following represents the composition of loans as of the dates indicated:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | September 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ | ​ | 2023 |  | 2022
​ | ​ | (In thousands)
Multi-family residential | ​ | $ | 2,614,219 | ​ | $ | 2,601,384
Commercial real estate | ​ |  | 1,953,243 | ​ |  | 1,913,040
One-to-four family ― mixed-use property | ​ |  | 537,744 | ​ |  | 554,314
One-to-four family ― residential | ​ |  | 222,874 | ​ |  | 241,246
Construction | ​ |  | 59,903 | ​ |  | 70,951
Small Business Administration | ​ |  | 21,896 | ​ |  | 23,275
Commercial business and other | ​ |  | 1,487,775 | ​ |  | 1,521,548
Net unamortized premiums and unearned loan fees | ​ |  | 9,059 | ​ |  | 9,011
Total loans, net of fees and costs excluding portfolio layer basis adjustments | ​ | ​ | 6,906,713 | ​ | ​ | 6,934,769
Unallocated portfolio layer basis adjustments (1) | ​ | ​ | (10,639) | ​ | ​ | —
Total loans, net of fees and costs | ​ | $ | 6,896,074 | ​ | $ | 6,934,769

​

(1) This amount represents portfolio layer method basis adjustments related to loans hedged in a closed portfolio. Under GAAP portfolio layer method basis adjustments are not allocated to individual loans, however, the amounts impact the net loan balance. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost of specific loans within the pool if the hedge was de-designated. See Note 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

​

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled $42.1 million and $36.8 million at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was reported in “Interest and dividends receivable” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is an estimate that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. Loans are charged off against that ACL when management believes that a loan balance is uncollectable based on quarterly analysis of credit risk.

The amount of the ACL is based upon a loss rate model that considers multiple factors which reflects management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses,

economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $0.6 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023, was driven by increasing reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios, partially offset by a fully reserved loan paid off during the quarter. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $9.5 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was driven by fully reserving for two non-accrual business loans that were subsequently charged-off, and increasing reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the reasonable and supportable forecast period and reversion period were two and four quarters, respectively unchanged, from December 31, 2022. The ACL - loans totaled $39.2 million on September 30, 2023 compared to $40.4 million on December 31, 2022. On September 30, 2023, the ACL - loans represented 0.57% of gross loans and 225.4% of non-performing loans. On December 31, 2022, the ACL - loans represented 0.58% of gross loans and 124.9% of non-performing loans.

​

The Company may modify loans to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. When modifying a loan, an assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of modification. This modification may include reducing the loan interest rate, extending the loan term, any other-than-insignificant payment delay, principal forgiveness or any combination of these types of modifications. When such modifications are performed, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not required as the methodologies used to estimate the allowance already capture the effect of borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. On September 30, 2023, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers who have received a loan modification as a result of financial difficulty.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” without material impact on the business operations or consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables show loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the periods indicated:

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans.” If a loan does not fall within one of the previously mentioned categories and management believes weakness is evident then we designate the loan as “Watch;” all other loans would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan as Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Credit Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

The amortized cost of substandard loans was $47.1 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $21.4 million from $25.7 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a business relationship that was downgraded to substandard due to declining macroeconomic factors. The loans were individually evaluated for impairment, and it was determined no reserve was deemed necessary at September 30, 2023.

Included within net loans were $4.7 million and $5.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and repayment is expected to be substantially provided by the operation or sale of the collateral. The following table presents types of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans as of the periods indicated:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses

​

Also included within scope of the CECL standard are off-balance sheet loan commitments, which includes the unfunded portion of committed lines of credit and commitments “in-process”. Commitments “in‐process” reflect loans not in the Company’s books but rather negotiated loan / line of credit terms and rates that the Company has offered to customers and is committed to honoring. In reference to “in‐process” credits, the Company defines an unfunded commitment as a credit that has been offered to and accepted by a borrower, which has not closed and by which the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable.

Commitments to extend credit (principally real estate mortgage loans) and lines of credit (principally home equity lines of credit and business lines of credit) totaled $443.2 million and $438.5 million on September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

​

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

7. Leases

The Company has 31 operating leases for branches (including headquarters) and office spaces, 9 operating leases for vehicles, and one operating lease for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one month to approximately 13 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company’s calculation of the lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Company will not recognize Right of Use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Company has four agreements in 2023 and two agreements in 2022 that qualified as short-term leases.

​

Certain leases have escalation clauses for operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company’s non-cancelable operating lease agreements expire through 2036.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) in addition to time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”). Under the terms of the PRSU Agreement, the number of PRSUs that may be earned depends on the extent to which performance goals for the award are achieved over a three-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. As of September 30, 2023, PRSUs granted in 2023 and 2022 are being accrued at target and PRSUs granted in 2021 are being accrued above target. The different levels of accrual are commensurate with the projected performance of the respective grant. As of September 30, 2023, 746,765 shares were available for future issuance under the 2014 Omnibus Plan.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s net income, as reported, included $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs, including the benefit or expense of phantom stock awards, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million of income tax benefit respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s net income, as reported, included $4.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs, including the benefit or expense of phantom stock awards, and $1.2 million and $1.5 million of income tax benefit, respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not grant any RSU or PRSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted 235,850 and 212,811 of RSU awards and 79,050 and 63,250 of PRSU awards, respectively.

The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards and performance restricted stock units. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are recorded in the period they occur.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company carries certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At September 30, 2023, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $12.8 million and $48.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $13.0 million and $50.5 million, respectively. The Company did not elect to carry any additional financial assets or financial liabilities under the fair value option during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net (loss) gain from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

​

​

​

Included in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities selected for the fair value option is the accrued interest receivable or payable for the related instrument. The Company reports as interest income or interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the interest receivable or payable on the financial instruments selected for the fair value option at their respective contractual rates.

The borrowed funds had a contractual principal amount of $61.9 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of $0.4 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company generally holds its earning assets to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change, and these amounts may not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does not require fair value information for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does not attempt to value future income or business. These items may be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level 1 – when quoted market prices are available in an active market. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Level 1 included one mutual fund.

Level 2 – when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Level 2 included mortgage-backed securities, CLOs, corporate debt, municipals, and interest rate swaps.

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned, and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

The methods described above may produce fair values that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions, and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including those reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the level that was used to determine their fair value, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

​

​

The Company did not have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

Securities:

The fair values of securities are contained in Note 4 (“Securities”) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using discounted cash flows.

Certain Delinquent Loans:

For certain delinquent loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or, for collateral dependent loans, 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. See Note 5 (“Loans”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was developed using a credit spread based on stated spreads for recently issued subordinated debt instruments for issuers of similar asset size and credit quality of the Company and with similar durations adjusting for differences in the junior subordinated debt’s credit rating, liquidity, and time to maturity. The unrealized net gain/loss attributable to changes in our own credit risk was determined by adjusting the fair value as determined in the proceeding sentence by the average rate of default on debt instruments with a similar debt rating as our junior subordinated debentures, with the difference from the original calculation and this calculation resulting in the instrument-specific unrealized gain/loss.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans and securities with $946.8 million and $273.6 million of swaps outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $480.0 million of swaps outstanding, which include $240.0 million each with customers and bank counterparties at September 30, 2023 and $221.2 million of swaps outstanding, which include $110.6 million each with customers and bank counterparties at December 31, 2022; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances, brokered deposits and municipal deposits with $826.8 million of swaps outstanding at September 30, 2023, and $871.5 million of swaps outstanding at December 31, 2022.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method” in the first quarter of 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into portfolio layer hedges on a closed portfolio of AFS securities with a notional amount of $200.0 million and a closed portfolio of loans with a notional amount of $500.0 million. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

​

For non-portfolio layer method fair value hedges, the hedge basis (the amount of the change in fair value) is added to (or subtracted from) the carrying amount of the hedged item. For portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis does not adjust the carrying value of the hedged item and is instead maintained on a closed portfolio basis. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost of specific loans or AFS securities within the pools if either of the hedges were de-designated. The Company did not have any portfolio layer hedges prior to the first quarter of 2023.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $480.9 million and $221.2 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $946.8 million and $273.6 million, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $825.8 million and $871.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effected earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, $7.1 million in reduced expense and $1.0 million in additional expense, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, $18.2 million in reduced expense and $6.1 million in additional expense was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive loss is $25.0 million in reduced expense.

​

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net (loss) gain from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

14. New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023:

​

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (Topic 326), which replaces the recognition and measurement guidance related to TDRs for creditors that have adopted ASC Topic 326 (commonly referred to as “CECL”) with the recognition and measurement guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20, to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. This ASU also enhances disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance also requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis; however, institutions have the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method as it relates to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The ASU was adopted on January 1, 2023 prospectively, without material impact on our business operations or to our consolidated financial statements.

​

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”, which expanded the current last-of-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and allow hedge accounting to be achieved using different types of derivatives and layering techniques, including the use of amortizing swaps with clarification that such a trade would be viewed as being a single layer. Under this expanded scope, both prepayable and nonrepayable financial assets may be included in a single closed portfolio hedge. This update also provides clarifications to breach requirements and disclosures. As a result of these changes, the last-of-

layer method has been renamed the portfolio layer method. No cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required upon adoption of these amendments. The Company did not have any portfolio layer or last of layer hedges prior to the first quarter of 2023. The amendments related to disclosures were applied on a prospective basis. The ASU was adopted in the first quarter of 2023 – see Notes 4 (“Securities”), 5 (“Loans”) and 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

We are a Delaware corporation organized in May 1994. The Bank was organized in 1929 as a New York State-chartered mutual savings bank. Today the Bank operates as a full-service New York State-chartered commercial bank. The Bank’s primary regulator is the New York State Department of Financial Services, and its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the FDIC. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation has been the operation of the Bank. At September 30, 2023, the Bank owns two subsidiaries: Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc. The Bank also operates an internet branch, which operates under the brands of iGObanking.com® and BankPurely® (the “Internet Branch”). The activities of Flushing Financial Corporation are primarily funded by dividends, if any, received from the Bank, issuances of subordinated debt, junior subordinated debt, and issuances of equity securities. Flushing Financial Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FFIC.”

Our principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits together with funds generated from ongoing operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) originations and purchases of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, one-to-four family loans (focusing on mixed-use properties, which are properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units); (2) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and other small business loans; (3) construction loans; (4) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (5) U.S. government securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities. We also originate certain other consumer loans including overdraft lines of credit. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the result of our net interest rate margin, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. We also generate non-interest income primarily from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”), dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Our operating expenses consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Our results of operations can also be significantly affected by changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for which changes in value are recorded through earnings and our periodic provision for credit losses.

Our investment policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to manage the interest rate sensitivity of our overall assets and liabilities, to generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk, to complement our lending activities and to provide and maintain liquidity. In establishing our investment strategies, we consider our business and growth strategies, the economic environment, our interest rate risk exposure, our interest rate sensitivity “gap” position, the types of securities to be held and other factors. We classify our investment securities as available for sale or held-to-maturity.

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We carry a portion of our financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option and record changes in their fair value through earnings in non-interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. A description of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through earnings can be found in Note 10 (“Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 we reported net income of $9.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, an increase of $0.8 million, or 8.9% from net income of $8.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share earned in the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income of $1.0 million and decreases in non-interest expense and provision for credit losses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively These improvements were partially offset by lower non-interest income of $1.6 million.

​

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net interest margin increased four basis points to 2.22% from 2.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding net gains (losses) from qualifying hedges and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin decreased three basis points to 2.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from 2.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Our loan portfolio is greater than 88% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 36%. We have a long history and foundation built upon disciplined underwriting, strong credit quality, and a resilient seasoned loan portfolio with solid asset protection. At September 30, 2023, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) - loans stood at 57 basis points of gross loans and 225.4% of non-performing loans. Non-performing assets at the end of the quarter were 45 basis points of total assets.

Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is tested for impairment, rather than amortized, on at least an annual basis. Quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and are to be used as the basis for measurement, when available. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment of goodwill. At September 30, 2023, the market capitalization of our reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, however the fair value of our reporting unit is not driven solely by the market price of our stock. For goodwill impairment testing, management has concluded that the Company has one reporting unit. We performed our impairment tests of goodwill at June 30, 2023 using a quantitative assessment and concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. At September 30, 2023 we reviewed goodwill again through a qualitative assessment concluding no impairment was indicated. We monitor goodwill for potential impairment triggers on a quarterly basis. Given the inherent uncertainties resulting from global macroeconomic conditions, actual results may differ from management’s current estimates and could have an adverse impact on one or more of the assumptions used in our quantitative model prepared for the reporting unit, which could result in impairment charges in subsequent periods.

The Bank and Company remain well-capitalized under current capital regulations of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board, respectively, and are subject to the similar regulatory capital requirements. See Note 13 (“Regulatory Capital”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

General. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $9.4 million, a decrease of $14.0 million, or 59.9%, from $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.32 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.44 or 57.9%, from $0.76 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin which decreased 85 basis points to 2.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.07% for the comparable prior year period. The decline in the net interest margin was driven by the impact Federal Reserve rate increases had on our liability sensitive balance sheet as our interest-bearing liabilities repriced quicker than our interest-earning assets. To mitigate the sensitivity and ease net interest margin compression, the Company opportunistically sought out derivative swaps to align with our strategic business plan, and to move to a more interest rate neutral position.

Return on average equity was 5.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 13.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Return on average assets was 0.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 1.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $22.3 million, or 27.3%, to $104.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $81.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the 110 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 4.10% for the three month ended September 30, 2022. In addition, the average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $38.4 million from the comparable prior year period. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total interest-earning assets increased 108 basis points to 5.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $39.1 million, or 190.2%, to $59.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The growth in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 227 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.52% for the three

months ended September 30, 2023 from 1.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the increase of $218.8 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,771.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $6,553.1 million for the comparable prior year period. Rising rates have driven the increase in our cost of funds as the Federal Reserve increased rates 225 basis points between September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $44.4 million, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 27.4%, from $61.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the net interest margin decreasing 85 basis points to 2.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, net interest income was negatively impacted by a decline in net interest-earning assets totaling $180.4 million to $1,245.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest-earning assets was primarily due to limited demand for lending coupled with the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits declining $198.6 million to $851.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,050.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was prepayment penalty income totaling $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, net reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, net gains from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $1.3 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 2.09%, a decrease of 87 basis points, from 2.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $0.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The provision recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023, was driven by increasing reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios, partially offset by a fully reserved loan paid off during the quarter. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing assets collateralized by real estate was 50.0% at September 30, 2023. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 61.4% from $9.0 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to net losses from fair value adjustments totaling $1.2 million in the current period compared to a net gain of $5.6 million recorded during the prior year period.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $34.4 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 3.4%, from $35.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary related expense accruals, and a $3.1 million net benefit for Employee Retention Tax Credit refunds partially offset by higher other operating expenses.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $12.9 million, a decrease of $19.5 million, or 60.2%, from $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 61.1%, from $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 27.1% compared to 27.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

​

General. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $23.2 million, a decrease of $43.5 million, or 65.2%, from $66.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.77 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.38 or 64.2%, from $2.15 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin which decreased 104 basis points to 2.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.26% for the comparable prior year period. The decline in the net interest margin was driven by the impact Federal Reserve rate increases had on our liability sensitive balance sheet as our interest-bearing liabilities repriced quicker than our interest-earning assets. To mitigate the sensitivity and ease net interest margin compression, the Company opportunistically sought out derivative swaps to align with our strategic plans.

Return on average equity was 4.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 13.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Return on average assets was 0.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 1.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $65.4 million, or 28.7%, to $292.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $227.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the 97 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 4.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 3.91% for the comparable prior year period. In addition, the average balance of interest-earnings assets increased $235.3 million from the comparable prior year period. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total interest-earning assets, increased 103 basis points to 4.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $121.7 million, or 320.8%, to $159.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $37.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The growth in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 237 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 0.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and an increase of $372.8

million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,744.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $6,371.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Rising rates have driven the increase in our cost of funds as the Federal Reserve increased rates by 225 basis points between September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $133.1 million, a decrease of $56.3 million, or 29.7%, from $189.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the net interest margin decreasing 104 basis points to 2.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, net interest income was negatively impacted by a year over year decline in net interest-earning assets totaling $137.5 million to $1,255.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest-earning assets was primarily due to limited demand for lending coupled with the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits declining $166.5 million to $865.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,032.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was prepayment penalty income totaling $1.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, net reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $1.2 million and ($0.2) million, respectively, and purchase accounting income of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 2.15%, a decrease of 98 basis points, from 3.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $9.5 million compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The provision recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was driven by fully reserving for two non-accrual business loans that were subsequently charged-off, and increasing reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing assets collateralized by real estate was 50.0% at September 30, 2023. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $15.5 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 12.2% from $17.7 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to net gains from fair value adjustments totaling $1.7 million in the current period compared to $6.4 million recorded during the prior year period.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $107.4 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 2.3%, from $110.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary related expense accruals, a $6.6 million net benefit for Employee Retention Tax Credit refunds and the effects of the decreased stock price on the attendant benefits plans.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $31.7 million, a decrease of $60.4 million, or 65.6%, from $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for the previously discussed reasons.

​

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $16.9 million, or 66.6%, from $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 26.8% compared to 27.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Bank maintains its conservative underwriting standards that include, among other things, a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and a debt coverage ratio of at least 125%. Multi-family residential (excluding underlying co-operative mortgages), commercial real estate and one-to-four family mixed-use property mortgage loans originated and purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 43.6% and an average debt coverage ratio of 175.0%.

The Bank’s non-performing assets totaled $38.4 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $15.0 million, or 28.1% from December 31, 2022. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.45% at September 30, 2023 and 0.63% at December 31, 2022. The ratio of ACL – loans to total non-performing loans was 225.4% at September 30, 2023 and 124.9% at December 31, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 mortgage-backed securities decreased $46.4 million, or 11.8%, to $345.7 million from $392.2 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the principal repayment of securities totaling $31.8 million and a decrease in the fair value totaling $13.9 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other securities increased $154.1 million, or 37.0%, to $571.1 million from $416.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in other securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to purchases of $171.7 million at an average rate of 6.55% partially offset by maturities totaling $10.0 million and a decrease in the fair value totaling $2.6 million. At September 30, 2023, other securities primarily consisted of securities issued by mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and CLOs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to depositors increased $172.3 million, or 2.7%, to $6,609.5 million due to an increase of certificates of deposit totaling $795.0 million partially offset by a net decrease in all other deposit accounts totaling $622.7 million. The Company has based deposit growth on certificates of deposit as they extend liabilities thus reducing interest rate risk. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $1,102.6 million, an increase of $246.3 million from $856.3 million at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the Company had uninsured deposits totaling $1.9 billion, or 29% of deposits with $0.9 million of that fully collateralized by some other method leaving uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaling $1.0 billion or 16% of deposits.

Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $8.0 million, or 1.2%, to $669.1 million at September 30, 2023, from $677.2 million at December 31, 2022. Stockholders’ equity decreased due to the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of $0.66 per common share totaling $19.8 million, the repurchase of 747,683 shares at an average cost of $14.49 per share totaling $10.8 million and a decrease of $4.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $23.2 million. Book value per common share increased to $23.15 at September 30, 2023 compared to $22.97 at December 31, 2022.

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to economically meet current and future financial obligations. The Company’s primary objectives in terms of managing liquidity are to maintain the ability to originate and purchase loans, repay borrowings as they mature, satisfy financial obligations that arise in the normal course of business and meet our customer’s deposit withdrawal needs. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and other securities, and proceeds from sales of securities and loans. Deposit flows and mortgage prepayments, however, are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity, including unsecured overnight lines of credit, and other types of borrowings. At September 30, 2023, the Company had available liquidity totaling $3.7 billion.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term function of business management. During 2023, funds were provided by the Company’s operating and financing activities, which were used to fund our investing activities. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and due from banks, overnight interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold with original maturities of 90 days or less. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents

INTEREST RATE RISK

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available for sale, decreases in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

The Company quantifies the net portfolio value should interest rates immediately go up or down 100 or 200 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. The changes in value are measured as percentage changes from the net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2023. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. At September 30, 2023, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

​

The following table presents the change in the Company’s net portfolio value and the net portfolio value ratio as of September 30, 2023:

​

​

Income Simulation Analysis. The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management provides a report for review by the Asset-Liability Investment Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income through various interest rate scenarios.

The starting point for the net interest income simulation is an estimate of the next twelve months’ net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels.

The report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income should interest rates go up or down 100 or 200 basis points (shocked), assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. All changes in income are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2023 and 2022. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The following table presents the Company’s interest rate shock as of September 30, 2023 and 2022:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Projected Percentage Change In Net Interest Income
​ | ​ | September 30,
​ | ​ | 2023 | ​ | 2022
-200 Basis points | ​ | (1.0) | % | ​ | 9.8 | %
-100 Basis points | ​ | - | ​ | ​ | 5.6 | ​
Base interest rate | ​ | - | ​ | ​ | - | ​
+100 Basis points | ​ | (3.0) | ​ | ​ | (8.9) | ​
+200 Basis points | ​ | (6.0) | ​ | ​ | (17.8) | ​

​

Another net interest income simulation assumes that changes in interest rates change gradually in equal increments over the twelve-month period. Prepayment penalty income is also excluded from this analysis. Based on these assumptions, net interest income would be reduced by 1.7% from a 100 basis point increase in rates over the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling $2.3 billion. This portfolio is designed to move the Company more towards interest rate neutral from changes in interest rates. See Note 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The significant improvement in the rate sensitivity over the past year is primarily due to an increase in the use of interest rate hedges.

A portion of this portfolio is comprised of interest rate swaps on certain short-term advances and deposits totaling $826.8 million. At September 30, 2023, $776.8 million of the interest rate swaps are effective swaps at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.39% that mature through 2027 and $50.0 million of the interest rate swaps are forward swaps effective in 2024, at an average rate of 0.80%. The Company also has $200.0 million of portfolio layer pay fixed fair value swaps as a hedge for securities with a weighted average receive rate of 5.33% and $500.0 million of pay fixed fair value swaps as a hedge for the loan portfolio with a weighted average receive rate of 5.33%..

AVERAGE BALANCES

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. The following tables sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.
