Investor Presentation Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022 Exhibit 99.2

This presentation may include certain “forward-looking statements,” which are made in good faith by Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”) pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). In addition to the factors described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in which the Company conducts operations, the effects of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition or results of operations, the effects of and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations, the impact of changes in laws, regulations and government policies regarding financial institutions (including laws concerning taxation, banking, securities and insurance), changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, technological changes, competition among financial services providers, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing and managing its business. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Readers should not place any undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability of period to period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the Appendix to this presentation.

Earnings Performance Net Income & Return on Assets1 Earnings per Share1 1 Although management believes core net income, EPS and ROAA, which are non-GAAP measures, are useful to investors by providing a greater level of understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. Core net income, EPS and ROAA exclude non-recurring income and expenses, including branch consolidation expenses and impairment charges.
