Kearny Financial Corp., holding company for Kearny Bank, reported net income of $7.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, versus $10.1 million, or $0.16, in the prior quarter. Quarterly results were affected by a $1.6 million discrete tax charge, $745,000 of severance expense, and $262,000 of OREO acquisition expense. For fiscal 2026, net income rose to $36.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared with $26.1 million, or $0.42, in fiscal 2025, reflecting higher net interest income and better efficiency.

Net interest margin increased to 2.26% for the quarter and 2.18% for the year, up 30 basis points year over year, as loans and yields grew and the balance sheet was remixed. At June 30, 2026, total assets were $7.68 billion, loans $5.88 billion, and deposits $5.71 billion, with a shift toward non‑interest‑bearing balances. Asset quality remained controlled, with non‑performing assets of $53.4 million or 0.70% of assets, net charge‑offs of 0.04% of average loans for the year, and an allowance for credit losses of $45.5 million or 0.77% of loans. Tangible equity to tangible assets was 8.62%, and tangible book value per share was $10.07. The board declared a $0.11 per share quarterly cash dividend, payable August 26, 2026, to shareholders of record on August 12, 2026.

net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin increased by five basis points to 2.26% for the quarter"
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
"Efficiency ratio (4) | 72.43 % | 78.33 % | -5.90 %"
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.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $45.5 million, or 0.77% of total loans"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible book value per share increased $0.30, or 3.1%, to $10.07."
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
non-performing assets financial
"Non-performing assets increased to $53.4 million, or 0.70% of total assets"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
Q4 2026 net income $7.2 million down from $10.1 million in Q3 2026
Q4 2026 diluted EPS $0.11 down from $0.16 in Q3 2026
Fiscal 2026 net income $36.3 million up 39.1% from $26.1 million in fiscal 2025
Fiscal 2026 diluted EPS $0.57 up from $0.42 in fiscal 2025
Net interest margin FY 2026 2.18% expanded 30 basis points from 1.88% in 2025
Efficiency ratio FY 2026 72.43% improved 5.90 percentage points from 78.33%

Mr. Montanaro concluded, “As we enter fiscal 2027, we remain focused on executing our strategic plan through organic growth, operational excellence, and the continued enhancement of the client experience.

Earnings

•Net interest margin increased by five basis points to 2.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and by 30 basis points to 2.18% for the year ended June 30, 2026. The quarterly improvement was driven by higher loan yields and balances and a reduction in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher costs on interest-bearing liabilities. The year-over-year improvement reflected higher loan yields and balances and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower yields and balances on investment securities and other interest-earning assets.
•For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 2.9%, to $40.4 million from $39.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $537,000 and $552,000, and loan prepayment penalty income of $622,000 and $422,000.
•For the year ended June 30, 2026, net interest income increased $20.3 million, or 15.1%, to $155.3 million from $134.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Non-Interest Income
•For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income decreased $781,000, or 12.8%, to $5.3 million from $6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by the absence of a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $1.0 million recorded in the prior period. Excluding this non-recurring item, non-interest income increased $218,000, or 4.3%, from $5.1 million, primarily driven by an increase in loan related fees and charges and a higher gain on sale of loans.
•Fees and service charges increased $144,000 to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $922,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
•Gain on sale of loans increased $123,000 to $316,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $193,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
•For the year ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income increased $3.8 million to $22.8 million from $19.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by $1.8 million in non-recurring pre-tax gains on the sale of properties held for sale in the current period, and increases in loan- and branch-related fees and charges.
2

Non-Interest Expense
•For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 4.8%, to $33.9 million from $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Excluding a non-recurring charge of $745,000 related to severance, non-interest expense increased $806,000, primarily reflecting higher salary and benefit costs, OREO acquisition-related expenses of $262,000, and a provision for unfunded commitments of $264,000, partially offset by a lower net occupancy expense.
•Salary and benefits expense increased $1.0 million to $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring charge of $745,000 related to severance associated with a strategic realignment of the Company’s retail banking organization.
•Net occupancy expense of premises decreased $401,000 to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by the absence of snow removal expenses recorded in the prior period.
•Other expense increased $942,000 to $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring OREO acquisition-related expense of $262,000, a reserve on unfunded commitments of $264,000 due to growth in construction loans, compared to an $86,000 reserve reversal in the prior period, and higher professional and other fees. Remaining changes reflected normal operating fluctuations.
•For the year ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense increased $8.4 million, or 6.9%, to $129.0 million from $120.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by higher salary and benefits expense and other expense. Salary and benefits expense increased due to annual merit increases, higher incentive compensation, and a non-recurring severance charge, while other expense increased primarily as a result of higher professional fees, loan related expenses, and the non-recurring charges discussed above.
Income Taxes
•Income tax expense totaled $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.9% and 19.8%, respectively. Income tax expense increased due to the establishment of a valuation allowance of $1.6 million against a deferred tax asset related to certain legacy stock-based compensation awards.
•Income tax expense totaled $11.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2025. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by higher pre-tax income in the current year period and the establishment of a valuation allowance of $1.6 million, as discussed above.
Asset Quality
•Non-performing assets increased to $53.4 million, or 0.70% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, from $52.4 million, or 0.69% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, and from $45.6 million, or 0.59% of total assets, at June 30, 2025.

•Net charge-offs totaled $49,000, or less than 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $626,000, or 0.04% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Forward Looking Statements & Financial Measures 2 This presentation may include certain “forward-looking statements,” which are made in good faith by Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”) pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). In addition to the factors described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: • the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in which the Company conducts operations, • the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations, • the impact of changes in laws, regulations and government policies effecting financial institutions (including taxation, banking, securities, insurance and tariffs), • the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events, • changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, • technological changes, • competition among financial services providers, and • the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing and managing its business. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Readers should not place any undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability of period to period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this presentation.

Repricing opportunity is concentrated through 2027, providing near-term support to loan yield expansion.
