Flushing Financial Corporation Reports 1Q23 GAAP EPS of $0.17 and Core EPS of $0.10; Deposits Increase Sequentially and Year-Over-Year; Liquidity Remains Strong Outlines Action Plan to Enhance Business Model Resilience and Drive Profitability in Current

John R. Buran, President and CEO Commentary

“The inverted yield curve and the rising rate environment led to first quarter results below our expectations. To better adapt to the changing environment, we are accelerating the following actions to enhance the resilience of our business model and strengthen performance: 1) move more towards being interest rate neutral in the shorter term; 2) increase our focus on risk adjusted returns and profitability; 3) emphasize our brand of customer service and deep relationships to continue to expand the client base and enhance loyalty; 4) further tighten expense controls; 5) review new and existing lending relationships to prepare for the next credit cycle; and 6) preserve our strong liquidity and capital. We continue to experience solid deposit growth, which reflects our deep client relationships and ties to our communities. Further, our strong liquidity is expected to allow us to continue our long track record of dividend payments. While the environment has clearly become more challenging, we are confident that our decisive actions we are taking now will result in improved profitability in the future and set the stage for consistent and significantly higher returns.”

- John R. Buran, President and CEO

UNIONDALE, N.Y., April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Strong Credit Quality Despite Loss on One Singular Relationship. Results for the quarter were impacted by our decision to fully charge off a $9.2 million business credit placed on non-accrual in 2Q22. This credit was a participation where the domestic borrower had a significant customer who shipped its product internationally and was impacted by world events. Existing credit protection became more questionable during the quarter which led to the decision to charge-off. Consistent with our long-standing history of conservative underwriting, the remainder of the credit portfolio continued to perform well as delinquencies improved 16 basis points and criticized and classified assets declined QoQ.

NIM Outlook; Solid Capital and Liquidity. While rising rates temporarily compress our net interest margin, the NIM should begin to rebound, on a lagged basis, after the Fed stops raising rates. To limit additional margin squeeze, we moved closer to interest rate neutral, achieving approximately 40% of our target for 2023 in the first quarter. Capital continues to be strong with a TCE1 of 7.73%. Liquidity is solid with $3.7 billion of availability while uninsured and uncollateralized deposits are a low $1.1 billion or 16.2% of total deposits.

1Q23 Highlights
  • Average total deposits increased 2.0% QoQ and 6.2% YoY to $6.8 billion, with core deposits comprising 75.3% of total average deposits; opened new Hauppauge branch during the quarter
  • Period end net loans declined slightly QoQ and increased 4.5% YoY; loan closings were $173.5 million down 22.9% QoQ and 47.3% YoY; the yield on closings increased 91 bps QoQ and 357 bps YoY to 7.01%
  • Loan pipeline decreased 59.9% YoY, but increased 5.5% QoQ to $266.1 million reflecting higher rates and greater client selectivity
  • Net interest margin FTE decreased 43 bps QoQ and 109 bps YoY to 2.27%; Core net interest margin FTE decreased 38 bps QoQ and 106 bps YoY to 2.25%; The decline in GAAP and Core NIM was primarily driven by our liability sensitive balance sheet resulting in liabilities repricing faster than assets; after a lag, the NIM is expected to expand when the Fed stops raising rates
  • Achieved 40% of our goal of moving towards interest rate neutral in 1Q23. These actions include adding $200 million hedge on investments, $50 million (net) of funding swaps, increasing floating rate securities, and extending funding
  • NPAs declined to $42.2 million from $53.4 million at 4Q22, but increased from $14.1 million at 1Q22
  • Provision for credit losses was $7.5 million in 1Q23 compared to $1.4 million in 1Q22; net charge-offs were $9.2 million in 1Q23 compared to $0.9 million in 1Q22
  • Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets was 7.73%, down from 7.82% at 4Q22; the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes negatively impacted this ratio by 2 bps in 1Q23; our swaps portfolio serves as a partial offset to the value of the AFS securities portfolio when rates change
  • Repurchased 159,516 shares at an average price of $19.14
Areas of Focus
Credit
Quality
  • Midtown Manhattan office exposure is 0.1% of net loans
  • The Company is a conservatively managed institution with a history of low and below industry levels of credit losses
  • Over 88% of the loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value less than 37% and debt service coverage ratios for multifamily and commercial real estate, which together total 65% of the loan portfolio, of 1.9x; This strong level of coverage is expected to enable our borrowers to absorb the impact of higher operating costs and higher interest rates while still generating ample cash flows to cover required principal and interest payments
Interest
Rate
Risk
  • Historically the Company operated with a liability sensitive balance sheet resulting in liabilities repricing faster than assets when interest rates change
  • During 1Q23, the Company took significant actions to position the balance sheet towards a more interest rate risk neutral position
  • These actions, which include adding hedges, floating rate assets, and extending funding, resulted in achievement of 40% of our goal for 2023
Liquidity
  • Deposits increased nearly $250 million in the first quarter, and we see new opportunities for growth
  • The Company continues to have ample liquidity with $3.7 billion of undrawn lines and resources
  • Uninsured and uncollateralized deposits were only 16.2% of total deposits at March 31, 2023
  • Checking account openings were up 30% YoY in 1Q23
Customer Experience
  • Additional opportunities emerging as a result of a major competitor leaving the market
  • Approximately 33% of our branches are in Asian markets
  • Bensonhurst, our 27th branch, is expected to open in 2023 and will enhance our Asian branch presence
  • Digital banking usage continues to increase with double digit growth in monthly mobile deposit active uses and digital banking enrollment in March 2023 versus a year ago

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 borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option.

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, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest 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 noninterest 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 this measure is 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.
