KEARNY FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2023 RESULTS
AND DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND
Fairfield, N.J., January 26, 2023 – Kearny Financial Corp. (NASDAQ GS: KRNY) (the “Company”), the holding company of Kearny Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $16.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income and earnings per share for the quarter was largely attributable to a previously announced after-tax loss of $10.8 million on the sale of securities.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on February 22, 2023 to stockholders of record as of February 8, 2023.
Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, in light of the challenges presented by the prevailing economic and interest rate environment, we completed the restructuring of a portion of our investment securities portfolio and adopted a company-wide operating efficiency initiative targeting a five to ten percent reduction in our annual operating expense. While these initiatives resulted in the recognition of various non-recurring charges, which adversely impacted this quarter’s net income, they are a part of our strategy to position ourselves for future earnings improvement, irrespective of the macro-economic environment.”

Performance Highlights

•Return on average equity was 0.90% and 7.38% for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Return on average tangible equity was 1.20% and 9.70% for those same comparative periods.
1

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
•Net interest margin contracted 31 basis points to 2.38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from 2.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was due largely to increases in the cost and average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by increases in the yield and average balance of interest-earning assets.
•Net interest income decreased $3.7 million to $44.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from $48.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, and loan prepayment penalty income of $166,000 and $441,000.
Non-Interest Income
•Non-interest income decreased $14.4 million to a loss of $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from income of $5.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a loss of $15.2 million on the sale of securities for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
•Income from bank owned life insurance decreased $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as a result of $2.1 million in payouts on life insurance policies in the prior comparative period.
•Included in other income, during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was a non-recurring gain of $2.9 million attributable to the sale of a former branch location.
Non-Interest Expense
•Non-interest expense increased $662,000 to $32.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from $32.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to $757,000 of non-recurring severance expense resulting from a workforce realignment.
•Other expense increased $684,000, largely due to a $353,000 increase in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, a $230,000 increase in professional fees and a $147,000 increase in OREO expenses.
•Federal deposit insurance premium expense increased $320,000 to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, largely driven by asset growth.
•Salaries and benefits expense decreased $427,000 to $19.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was driven by lower salary, payroll tax and incentive compensation expense. Partially offsetting these decreases were non-recurring severance expense resulting from a workforce realignment and an increase in incentive payments tied to loan origination volume.
•The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 89.93% and 1.62%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 58.75% and 1.65%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Income Taxes
•Income tax expense totaled $33,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 compared to $5.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.7% and 24.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a year-to-date tax rate true-up which resulted from the loss on the sale of securities during the current quarter. The loss lowered the Company’s full year projected taxable income and income tax provision.
2

Asset Quality
•The balance of non-performing assets decreased $14.8 million to $62.6 million, or 0.76% of total assets, at December 31, 2022, from $77.4 million, or 0.98% of total assets, at September 30, 2022. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily attributable to loans previously on non-accrual returning to accrual status. During the current period, the Company acquired a $13.0 million nonresidential real estate property through foreclosure, which is included in the balance of non-performing assets.
•Net charge-offs totaled $407,000, or 0.03% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $115,000, or 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
•For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million, compared to $670,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was largely driven by loan growth, partially offset by a reduction in the qualitative component of the Company’s allowance for credit losses.
•The allowance for credit losses was $48.9 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $47.6 million, or 0.84% of total loans, at September 30, 2022.
Capital
•For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, book value per share increased $0.07, or 0.5%, to $12.95 and tangible book value per share increased $0.05, or 0.5%, to $9.78.
•During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 549,800 shares of common stock at a cost of $5.7 million, or $10.45 per share.
•At December 31, 2022, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 8.16% and the regulatory capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank were in excess of the levels required by federal banking regulators to be classified as “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

These non-GAAP measures provide additional information which allow readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company.
