Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Exhibits
Financial statements, pro forma financial information, and exhibit attachments filed with this report.
Net income to common $32.8M Quarter ended March 31, 2026

Net interest income $112.3M Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025 $112.3M
Net interest margin 3.21% Q1 2026; 3.11% Q4 2025; 2.95% Q1 2025

Tangible common book value per share $27.73 March 31, 2026; up from $27.37 at Dec 31, 2025
Net Interest Margin financial
"The Net Interest Margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.21%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
Efficiency ratio financial
"The efficiency ratio was 50.8% during the first quarter of 2026"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
Tangible common book value per share financial
"Tangible common book value per share ... was $27.73 at March 31, 2026"
The tangible common book value per share shows how much real, sellable net worth is attributed to each common share by taking a company’s total equity, subtracting intangible items (like goodwill) and preferred equity, and dividing the remainder by outstanding common shares. Investors use it as a conservative measure of a company’s per-share liquidation or balance-sheet strength — like checking how much cash you’d have per share after removing things you can’t easily sell.
Non-performing loans held for investment financial
"Non-performing loans held for investment were $57.1 million at March 31, 2026"
Provision for credit losses financial
"A credit loss provision of $12.3 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2026"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.

Management’s Discussion of Quarterly Operating Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $112.3 million compared to $112.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $94.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The Net Interest Margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 3.21% compared to 3.11% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2.95% for the first quarter of 2025.

Mr. Lubow commented, “We continue to have a significant loan repricing opportunity that we anticipate will continue through 2027. Additionally, growth in core deposits and business loans will benefit us over time as we continue to grow our customer base and hire productive bankers. Our substantial liquidity position, which includes $2.1 billion of cash, provides us with the flexibility to take advantage of lending opportunities as they arise."

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could affect our results include, without limitation, the following: the timing and occurrence or non-occurrence of events may be subject to circumstances beyond the Company’s control; there may be increases in competitive pressure among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; changes in the interest rate environment may affect demand for our products and reduce interest margins and the value of our investments; changes in government monetary or fiscal policies and actions may adversely affect our customers, cost of credit and overall result of operations; changes in deposit flows, the cost of funds, loan demand or real estate values may adversely affect the business of the Company; changes in the quality and composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios or unanticipated or significant increases in loan losses may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines may cause the Company’s financial condition to be perceived differently; changes in corporate and/or individual income tax laws may adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations; general socio-economic conditions, public health emergencies, international conflict, inflation, tariffs, and recessionary pressures, either nationally or locally in some or all areas in which the Company conducts business, or conditions in the securities markets or the banking industry may be less favorable than the Company currently anticipates and may adversely affect our customers, our financial results and our operations; legislation or regulatory changes may adversely affect the Company’s business; technological changes may be more difficult or expensive than the Company anticipates; there may be failures or breaches of information technology security systems; success or consummation of new business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than the Company anticipates; there may be difficulties or unanticipated expense incurred in the consummation of new business initiatives or the integration of any acquired entities; and litigation or other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future, may delay the occurrence or non-occurrence of events longer than the Company anticipates. For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and updates set forth in the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

(2)     Includes loans underlying multifamily cooperatives.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company’s management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude pre-tax income and expenses associated with the fair value change in equity securities and loans held for sale, loss on sale of securities and other assets, severance, net gain on extinguishment of debt and loss due to pension settlement.
