PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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~~wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Service Corporation and FSB Properties Inc., ~~and Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, which was dissolved as of June 30, 2021,~~ 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, ~~2021.~~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.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed of business acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently when certain conditions are met. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, no further evaluation is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, further evaluation would be required to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value and determine if impairment is required.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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. Other acceptable valuation methods include an asset approach, which determines a fair value based upon the value of assets net of liabilities, an income approach, which determines fair value using one or more methods that convert anticipated economic benefits into a present single amount, and a market approach, which determines a fair value based on the similar businesses that have been sold.

At June 30, 2023, the book value of our reporting unit exceeded market capitalization, however the fair value of our reporting unit is not driven solely by the market price of our stock. As described above, the fair value can also be derived using an asset approach, an income approach and a market approach, or a combination of these techniques. At June 30, 2023, the Company used an income approach and a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. These valuation techniques consider several other factors beyond our market capitalization, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting unit, the discount rate used to present value such cash flows and the market multiples of comparable companies. Changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment. We qualitatively assess whether the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds fair value. If this qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds fair value, further quantitative evaluation for impairment would be required to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value and determine if impairment is required.

In performing the goodwill impairment testing, the Company has identified a single reporting unit. The Company performed a quantitative assessment in reviewing the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2022, which was repeated in the second quarter of 2023, concluding that there was no goodwill impairment at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of goodwill totaled $17.6 million at each period. The identification of additional reporting units, the use of other valuation techniques and/or changes to input assumptions used in the analysis could result in materially different evaluations of goodwill impairment.

The Company reviewed each available for sale security that had an unrealized loss at June 30, ~~2022~~2023, and December 31, ~~2021.~~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 ~~evaluates~~identifies any decline in the fair value due to credit loss factors and ~~this~~ 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, ~~the tranche~~and that issuers of the ~~purchased~~ collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and the issuer of ~~Corporate~~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 0no allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company reviewed each held-to-maturity security ~~that had an unrealized loss~~ at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 as part of its quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) process, ~~with~~resulting in an allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million ~~and $0.9 million~~ at each of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021, respectively.~~

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.1 million each at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is excluded from estimates of credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $2.5 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $5.9 million and $3.7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(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 beallocated 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.

~~5. Loans~~

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 ~~the~~an accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled ~~$33.5~~$39.5 million and ~~$35.8~~$36.8 million at June 30, ~~2022~~2023, and December 31, ~~2021,~~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.

At June 30, 2022, we had 5 active forbearances which were granted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of approximately $26.7 million resulting in total deferment of $1.6 million in principal, interest and escrow, down from 20 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $71.9 million at December 31, 2021. These loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at their original contractual terms until the completion of the applicable deferral periods, following which the borrowers will resume making payments and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply. The Company actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the CARES Act, closing $310.3 million of these loans since the beginning of the program, with $288.1 million forgiven by the SBA as of June 30, 2022, of which $21.0 million were forgiven during the recent quarter.

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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $1.5 million, compared to a benefit for credit losses on loans totaling $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling ~~$2.7~~$1.4 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $8.9 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. The provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023, was driven by ~~loan growth coupled with~~fully reserving for two non-accrual business loans that were subsequently charged-off in the ~~ongoing environmental uncertainty resulting from high and rising inflation~~first quarter of 2023, and increasing ~~interest rates. The Company made no changes~~reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios, partially offset by a decline in loan balances during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the reasonable and supportable forecast period and ~~decreased the~~ reversion period ~~from six quarters to~~were two and four quarters, ~~at June 30, 2022, in order to revert back to our historical losses sooner as the economic forecast in the model is more favorable than the current conditions.~~respectively unchanged, from December 31, 2022. The ACL - loans totaled ~~$39.4~~$38.6 million aton June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~$37.1~~$40.4 million aton December 31, ~~2021. At~~2022. On June 30, 2023, the ACL - loans represented 0.57% of gross loans and 207.1% of non-performing loans. On December 31, 2022, the ACL - loans represented 0.58% of gross loans and ~~141.1% of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2021, the ACL - loans represented 0.56% of gross loans and 248.7%~~124.9% of non-performing loans.

The Company may ~~restructure~~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 ~~restructure~~modification may include reducing the loan interest rate, extending the loan term, any other-than-insignificant payment delay, principal forgiveness or ~~amount~~any combination of ~~the monthly payment for~~these types of modifications. When such modifications are performed, a ~~specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert~~change to the ~~original terms~~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. During the ~~loan. We classify these loans as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”).~~

The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. All loans classified as TDR are individually evaluated, however TDR loans which have been current for six consecutivethree months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are not included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-accrual performing TDR loans until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months. These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance.

The allocation of a portion of the ACL for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR loan which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. Atended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, there was one loan modified to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. On June 30, 2023, there were 0no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers ~~whose loans were modified to~~who have received a ~~TDR. The~~loan modification as a result of ~~loans to a TDR did not have a significant effect~~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 ~~our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation~~the business operations or consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the ~~ACL.~~Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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”.~~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”;~~“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.

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 ~~$542.6~~$402.4 million and ~~$472.9~~$438.5 million aton June 30, ~~2022~~2023, and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

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 June 30, 2023, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $13.1 million and $47.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of ~~$13.6~~$13.0 million and ~~$55.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $14.6 million and $56.5~~$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 six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~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 gain (loss) from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

The net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments presented in the above table does not include net gains (losses) of ($1.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps.

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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of ~~$0.2 million and $0.1~~$0.4 million at both June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021, respectively.~~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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~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 June 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~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.

~~Non-accrual~~Certain Delinquent Loans:

For ~~non-accruing~~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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~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 ~~totaling $289.2~~and securities with $864.2 million and ~~$299.6~~$273.6 million of swaps outstanding at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with ~~$224.6 million of swaps outstanding,~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

~~which include $112.3 million with customers and $112.3 million with bank counterparties at June 30, 2022 and $228.0~~$240.7 million of swaps outstanding, which include ~~$114.0~~$120.4 million each with customers and ~~$114.0~~bank counterparties at June 30, 2023 and $221.2 million of swaps outstanding, which include $110.6 million each with customers and bank counterparties at December 31, ~~2021;~~2022; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances, ~~and~~ brokered deposits ~~totaling $871.5~~and municipal deposits with $922.5 million of swaps outstanding at June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, and ~~$996.5~~$871.5 million of swaps outstanding at December 31, ~~2021.~~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 six months ended June 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 $400.0 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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of ~~$224.6~~$241.7 million and ~~$228.0~~$221.2 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of ~~$289.2~~$864.2 million and ~~$299.6~~$273.6 million, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of ~~$871.5~~$921.5 million and ~~$996.5~~$871.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the ~~derivative~~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 ~~effects~~effected earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $6.8 million in reduced expense and ~~2021,~~ $2.4 million in additional expense, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and ~~$2.6~~2022, $11.0 million ~~respectively,~~in reduced expense and $5.1 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 ~~$5.7 million.~~$25.5 million in reduced expense.

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

14. New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards ~~Pending Adoption:~~Adopted in 2023:

In March 2022, ~~the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)~~FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~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 ~~ASC~~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. ~~We are evaluating the~~The ASU was adopted on January 1, 2023 without material impact ~~of this ASU and have not yet determined whether this will have material effect~~ on our business operations ~~and~~or to our consolidated financial statements.

In ~~January 2021,~~March 2022, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform”~~2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic ~~848)~~815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”, which ~~clarifies that certain optional expedients~~expanded the current last-of-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and ~~exceptions in ASC 848 for contract modifications and~~allow hedge accounting ~~apply~~ to be achieved using different types of derivatives and layering techniques, including the use of amortizing swaps with clarification that ~~are affected by~~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 discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks.

~~that are modified because~~layer method has been renamed the portfolio layer method. No cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of ~~reference rate reform~~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 that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or re-measurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity could elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, upNotes to the ~~date that~~Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the ~~financial statements are available~~impact to be issued.

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 June 30, ~~2022,~~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, ~~mortgage servicing fees,~~ 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 ~~can~~ 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.

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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 we reported net income of ~~$25.0~~$8.6 million, or ~~$0.81~~$0.29 per diluted common share, ~~and reported record~~an increase of $3.5 million, or 67.3% from net ~~interest~~ income ~~totaling $64.7 million. The record net interest income was driven by a $170.3~~of $5.2 million, ~~increase~~or $0.17 per diluted common share earned in ~~average earning assets during the quarter as the net interest margin declined one basis point compared to~~ the three months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a decrease in provision for loan losses of $6.1 million and a decrease in non-interest expense of $2.4 million, offset by lower net interest income and non-interest income of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the yield on interest-earning assets increased ~~eight~~23 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 1035 basis points from the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, which resulted in a decrease of ~~one~~nine basis ~~point~~points in net interest margin to ~~3.35%~~2.18% from ~~3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.~~2.27%. Excluding net gains (losses) from qualifying hedges and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin ~~increased two~~decreased eight basis points to ~~3.33%~~2.17% for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023, from ~~3.31%~~2.25% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Our loan portfolio is greater than ~~87%~~88% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than ~~38%~~36%. We have a long history and foundation built upon disciplined underwriting, ~~good~~strong credit quality, and a resilient seasoned loan portfolio with ~~strong~~solid asset protection. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) - loans stood at 5857 basis points of gross loans and ~~141.1%~~207.1% of non-performing loans. Non-performing assets at the end of the quarter were 5947 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 June 30, 2023, the book value of our reporting unit exceeded market capitalization, however the fair value of our reporting unit is not driven solely by the market price of our stock. For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, management has concluded that the Company has one reporting unit. We performed our annual impairment tests of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2022 using a quantitative assessment and concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. We performed the quantitative assessment again in the second quarter of 2023 and came to the same conclusion. 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 ~~same~~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 JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021~~

~~General.~~ Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $25.0 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 30.0%, from $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.81 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $0.20, or 32.8%, from $0.61 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Return on average equity was 15.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 11.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Return on average assets was 1.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 0.93% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

~~Interest Income.~~ Interest and dividend income increased $2.5 million, or 3.6%, to $74.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $71.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the 16 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 3.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.69% for 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 loans, net, increased seven basis points to 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 3.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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

General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $8.6 million, a decrease of $16.4 million, or 65.5%, from $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.29 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.52 or 64.2%, from $0.81 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin which decreased 117 basis points to 2.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.35% 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.

Return on average equity was 5.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 15.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Return on average assets was 0.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 1.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $22.3 million, or 30.0%, to $96.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $74.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the 99 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 4.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 3.85% for the three month ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $245.3 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 111 basis points to 4.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense ~~decreased $1.1~~increased $43.6 million, or ~~10.7%~~456.2%, to $53.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022 from $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~2022. The ~~decrease~~growth in interest expense was primarily due to ~~a decline~~an increase of ~~six~~255 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 0.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 ~~from 0.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2021~~ and the ~~decrease~~increase of ~~$195.5~~$419.5 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to ~~$6,337.4~~$6,756.9 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$6,532.9~~$6,337.4 million for the comparable prior year period.

~~Net Interest Income.~~ ~~Net interest income for~~ Rising rates have driven the ~~three months ended June 30, 2022 was $64.7 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 6.0%, from $61.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The~~ increase in ~~net interest income was primarily due to net interest-earning assets growing $146.0 million year over year to $1,403.3 million for~~our cost of funds as the ~~quarter ended~~Federal Reserve increased rates 350 basis points between June 30, 2022 and an increase of 21 basis points in the net interest margin to 3.35% during the same period. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income, net of reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $60,000 and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.22%, an increase of 18 basis points, from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

~~Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses.~~ During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses was $1.6 million compared to a benefit for credit losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-performing assets increased $34.8 million to $48.9 million, at June 30, 2022. The increase in non-performing assets primarily resulted from the addition of one non-accrual investment security which was collateralized by real estate and three non-accrual commercial business loans. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing assets collateralized by real estate was 50.7% at June 30, 2022. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

~~Non-Interest Income (Loss).~~ Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.4 million, an increase of $10.6 million from a loss of $3.2 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to the prior year period including net losses from fair value adjustments totaling $6.5 million compared to net gains totaling $2.5 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included life insurance proceeds totaling $1.5 million compared to none recorded in the prior year comparable period.

~~Non-Interest Expense.~~ Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $35.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 4.4%, from $34.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the growth of the Company.

~~Income before Income Taxes.~~ Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $35.0 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 37.6%, from $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 for the previously discussed reasons.

~~Provision for Income Taxes.~~ The provision for income taxes was $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.8 million, or 61.4%, from $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to growth in income before income taxes and an increase in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2022 was 28.4% compared to 24.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the loss of certain New York State and City tax deductions in 2022.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

General. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $13.8 million, a decrease of $29.5 million, or 68.1%, from $43.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.46 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.93 or 66.9%, from $1.39 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin which decreased 114 basis points to 2.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.36% 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 4.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 12.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Return on average assets was 0.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 1.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $43.1 million, or 29.6%, to $188.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $145.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the 92 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 4.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 3.81% for the comparable prior year period. In addition, the average balance of interest-earnings assets increased $335.3 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 102 basis points to 4.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $82.6 million, or 474.9%, to $100.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The growth in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 242 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 0.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and an increase of $451.1 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,730.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $6,279.3 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 350 basis points between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $88.6 million, a decrease of $39.6 million, or 30.9%, from $128.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the net interest margin decreasing 114 basis points to 2.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, net interest income was negatively impacted by a decline in net interest-earning assets totaling $115.8 million to $1,261.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest-earning assets was primarily due to the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits declining $150.2 million to $872.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1,023.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was prepayment penalty income, net reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $1.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and purchase accounting income of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.18%, a decrease of 104 basis points, from 3.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $8.9 million compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to fully reserving for two non-accrual business loans that were subsequently charged-off in the first quarter of 2023, and increasing reserves for the elevated risk presented by the current rate environment to adjustable-rate loan’s debt coverage ratios, partially offset by a decline in loan balances during the period. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing assets collateralized by real estate was 50.0% at June 30, 2023. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.0 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 38.8% from $8.7 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to net gains from fair value adjustments totaling $2.9 million in the current period compared to $0.7 million recorded during the prior year period.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 was ~~$74.3~~$73.0 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$2.1~~$1.3 million, or ~~3.0%~~1.8%, from ~~$72.2~~$74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The ~~increase in non-interest expense~~decrease was primarily due to lower salary related expense accruals, a $3.7 million net benefit for Employee Retention Tax Credit refunds and the ~~growth~~effects of the ~~Company.~~decreased stock price on the attendant benefits plans.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 was ~~$59.6~~$18.8 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$8.0~~$40.8 million, or ~~15.4%~~68.5%, from ~~$51.6~~$59.6 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 for the previously discussed reasons.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023,

a decrease of $11.4 million, or 69.6%, from $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022, an increase of $3.0 million, or 22.6%, from $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.~~2022. The ~~increase~~decrease was

primarily due to the ~~growth~~decline in income before income taxes, and ~~an increase~~a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 was ~~27.4%~~26.5% compared to ~~25.8%~~27.4% for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the loss of certain New York State and City tax deductions in~~ 2022.

Assets. Total assets at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 were ~~$8,339.6~~$8,473.9 million, an increase of ~~$293.7~~$50.9 million, or ~~3.7%~~0.6%, from ~~$8,045.9~~$8,422.9 million at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position 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 or down 100~~ 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 June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. At June 30, ~~2022,~~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 ~~interest rate shock~~net portfolio value and the net portfolio value ratio as of June 30, ~~2022:~~2023:

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

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 ~~ALCO~~Asset-Liability Investment Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income ~~and net portfolio value~~ through various interest rate scenarios.

The starting point for the net interest income simulation is an estimate of the next twelve ~~month’s~~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 June 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Projected Percentage Change In Net Interest Income
	June 30,
	2023		2022
-200 Basis points	(0.1)	%	NA	%
-100 Basis points	0.5		5.1
Base interest rate	-		-
+100 Basis points	(3.2)		(8.8)
+200 Basis points	(6.7)		(17.5)

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 ~~3.9%~~2.2% from a 100 basis point increase in rates over the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling ~~$1.4~~$2.0 billion. This portfolio is designed to ~~provide protection against rising~~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 ~~brokered~~ deposits totaling ~~$871.5~~$922.5 million. At June 30, ~~2022, $591.5~~2023, $872.5 million of the interest rate swaps are effective swaps at a weighted average rate of approximately ~~1.74%~~2.38% that ~~largely~~ mature ~~by early 2024~~through 2027 and ~~$280.0~~$50.0 million of the interest rate swaps are forward swaps effective ~~at different points through~~in 2024, at an average rate of ~~0.72%~~0.80%.

The ~~net interest income simulation incorporates~~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 5.09% and $400.0 million of pay fixed fair value swaps as a hedge for the ~~next twelve months (through June 30, 2023) and only~~loan portfolio with a ~~portion~~weighted average receive rate of the effective swap maturities and the forward starting swaps are included in this period. Assuming another equal increment ramp of 100 basis points increase in rates in the second year (through June 30, 2024), for a total of 200 basis points over two years, the total derivative portfolio has a 1.6% benefit to net interest income (versus the base case) in the first year and a cumulative benefit of 4.2% by the second year.5.17%..

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 ~~rate~~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 six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~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.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits. Management of the Company, after consultation with outside legal counsel, believes that the resolution of these various matters will not result in any material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~Except as set forth below there~~There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~

~~Changes in Interest Rates, Including Recent and Perhaps Future Increases Fueled by Inflation, May Significantly Impact Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income generated by our interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans) and the interest expense generated by our interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of deposits). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of our interest-earning assets, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by such external factors as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Open Market Committee of the FRB (the “FOMC”), and market interest rates.

~~It is currently expected that during the remainder of~~ 2022, and perhaps beyond, the FOMC will increase interest rates to reduce the rate of inflation to the extent necessary to reduce inflation to the rate that the FOMC believes is appropriate. In March 2022, the FOMC commenced increasing the target range for the federal funds rate by implementing a 25-basis point increase to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%. In May 2022, the FOMC implemented a 50-basis point increase to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%. In June 2022, the FOMC implemented a 75-basis point increase to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. At its most recent meeting, in late July 2022, the FOMC further added a 75-basis point increase to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%. All of these increases were expressly made in response to inflationary pressures, which are currently expected to continue. In its July 2022 “Beige Book”, the FRB noted that economic activity had expanded at a modest pace from mid-May, with higher food and gas prices and diminished household discretionary income. The report also noted that housing demand had weakened, commercial real estate conditions had slowed, and loan demand had been mixed, with some financial institutions reporting increased customer usage of revolving credit lines and others reporting weakened residential loan demand amid higher mortgage interest rates. The report concluded that the outlook for future economic growth is mostly negative, with expectations for further weakening of demand over the next six to twelve months.

~~There can be no assurances as to any future FOMC conduct.~~ If the FOMC further increases the targeted federal funds rates, overall interest rates likely will rise, which will positively impact our interest income but may further negatively impact the entire national economy, including the housing industry in the markets we serve, by reducing refinancing activity and new home purchases. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operational costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance. A significant portion of our loans have fixed interest rates (or, if adjustable, are initially fixed for periods of five to 10 years) and longer terms than our deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income could be adversely affected if the rates we pay on deposits and borrowings increase more rapidly than the rates we earn on loans. Our interest rate risk is exacerbated in the short term by the fact that approximately 80% of our certificates of deposit accounts and borrowings will reprice or mature during the next year. While the higher payments we would receive on adjustable-rate loans in a rising interest rate environment may increase our interest income, nonetheless (notwithstanding our stress testing) some borrowers ultimately may be unable to afford the higher payment amounts, which could result in a higher rate of default. Rising interest rates also may reduce the demand for loans and the value of fixed-rate investment securities. These effects from interest rate changes or from other sustained economic stress or a recession, among other matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

~~FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES~~

As a result of our historical focus on the origination of multi-family residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans, most of our loans are adjustable rate, however, many adjust at periods of five to 10 years. In addition, a large percentage of our investment securities and mortgage-backed securities have fixed interest rates and are classified as available for sale. As is the case with many financial institutions, our emphasis on increasing the development of core deposits, those with no stated maturity date, has resulted in our interest-bearing liabilities having a shorter duration than our interest-earning assets. This imbalance can create significant earnings volatility because interest rates change over time and are currently at historical low levels. As interest rates increase, including as noted above, our cost of funds will increase more rapidly than the yields on a substantial portion of our interest-earning assets. In addition, the market value of our fixed-rate assets for example, our investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, would decline if interest rates increase. In line with the foregoing, we have experienced and may continue to experience an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily due to raising the rates we pay on some of our deposit products to stay competitive within our market and an increase in borrowing costs from increases in the federal funds rate.

Prevailing interest rates also affect the extent to which borrowers repay and refinance loans. In a declining interest rate environment, the number of loan prepayments and loan refinancing may increase, as well as prepayments of mortgage-backed securities. Call provisions associated with our investment in U.S. government agency and corporate securities may also adversely affect yield in a declining interest rate environment. Such prepayments and calls may adversely affect the yield of our loan portfolio and mortgage-backed and other securities as we reinvest the prepaid funds in a lower interest rate environment. However, we typically receive additional loan fees when existing loans are refinanced, which partially offset the reduced yield on our loan portfolio resulting from prepayments. In periods of low interest rates, our level of core deposits also may decline if depositors seek higher-yielding instruments or other investments not offered by us, which in turn may increase our cost of funds and decrease our net interest margin to the extent alternative funding sources are utilized. An increasing interest rate environment would tend to extend the average lives of lower yielding fixed rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, which could adversely affect net interest income. Also, in an increasing interest rate environment, mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities may prepay at slower rates than experienced in the past, which could result in a reduction of prepayment penalty income. In addition, depositors tend to open longer term, higher costing certificate of deposit accounts which could adversely affect our net interest income if rates were to subsequently decline. Additionally, adjustable-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities generally contain interim and lifetime caps that limit the amount the interest rate can increase or decrease at repricing dates. Significant increases in prevailing interest rates may significantly affect demand for loans and the value of bank collateral. See “— Local Economic Conditions” disclosed in the Company’s annualquarterly report on Form ~~10-K~~10-Q for the ~~year~~quarter ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2023.
