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 subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Service Corporation and FSB Properties Inc., 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, 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.

(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

The Company reviewed each available for sale security that had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 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 identifies any decline in the fair value due to credit loss factors and 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, and that issuers of the collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and the issuer of 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
The Company reviewed each held-to-maturity security at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 as part of its quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) process, resulting in an allowance for credit losses of $

(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 be allocated 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.
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 an accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled $
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.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $
The Company may 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 modification may include reducing the loan interest rate, extending the loan term, any other-than-insignificant payment delay, principal forgiveness or any combination of these types of modifications. When such modifications are performed, a change to the 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 three months ended June 30, 2023, there was one loan modified to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. On June 30, 2023, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers who have received a loan modification as a result of 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 the business operations or consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the 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.” 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;” 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 $

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 $
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:

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 $
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, 2023 and December 31, 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, 2023 and December 31, 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, 2023 and December 31, 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 significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures valued under Level 3 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are the effective yields used in the cash flow models. Significant increases or decreases in the effective yield in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level that was used to determine their fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 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.
Certain Delinquent Loans:
For 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,
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, 2023 and December 31, 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 and securities with $
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 $
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, 2023 and December 31, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $
For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the 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 effected earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $
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 Adopted in 2023:
In March 2022, FASB issued 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 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. The ASU was adopted on January 1, 2023 without material impact on our business operations or to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”, which expanded the current last-of-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and allow hedge accounting to be achieved using different types of derivatives and layering techniques, including the use of amortizing swaps with clarification that 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 last-of-

layer method has been renamed the portfolio layer method. No cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of 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 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the impact to our consolidated financial statements.

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, 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, 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 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, 2023 we reported net income of $8.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, an increase of $3.5 million, or 67.3% from net income of $5.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share earned in the three months ended March 31, 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, 2023, the yield on interest-earning assets increased 23 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 35 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2023, which resulted in a decrease of nine basis points in net interest margin to 2.18% from 2.27%. Excluding net gains (losses) from qualifying hedges and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin decreased eight basis points to 2.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 2.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our loan portfolio is greater than 88% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 36%. We have a long history and foundation built upon disciplined underwriting, strong credit quality, and a resilient seasoned loan portfolio with solid asset protection. At June 30, 2023, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) - loans stood at 57 basis points of gross loans and 207.1% of non-performing loans. Non-performing assets at the end of the quarter were 47 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 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, 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 increased $43.6 million, or 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. The growth in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 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 and the increase of $419.5 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $6,756.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $6,337.4 million for the comparable prior year period. Rising rates have driven the increase in our cost of funds as the Federal Reserve increased rates 350 basis points between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $43.4 million, a decrease of $21.4 million, or 33.0%, from $64.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the net interest margin decreasing 117 basis points to 2.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, net interest income was negatively impacted by a decline in net interest-earning assets totaling $174.1 million to $1,229.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest-earning assets was primarily due to the average balance of non-interest-bearing deposits declining $194.9 million to $849.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1,044.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was prepayment penalty income, net reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.15%, a decrease of 107 basis points, from 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Provision for Credit Losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $1.4 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The provision recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to increased reserves from 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 three months ended June 30, 2023 was $5.1 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 30.3% from $7.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to the prior year period inclusion of net gains from fair value adjustments totaling $2.5 million compared to net gains totaling $0.3 million recorded during the current year period.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $35.3 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.7%, from $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary related expense accruals, and a $2.2 million net benefit for Employee Retention Tax Credit refunds partially offset by higher other operating expenses.
Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $11.8 million, a decrease of $23.2 million, or 66.2%, from $35.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 for the reasons discussed above.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 68.0%, from $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in income before income taxes and a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.9% compared to 28.4% for the three months ended June 30, 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, 2023 was $73.0 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 1.8%, from $74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary related expense accruals, a $3.7 million net benefit for Employee Retention Tax Credit refunds and the effects of the decreased stock price on the attendant benefits plans.
Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $18.8 million, a decrease of $40.8 million, or 68.5%, from $59.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 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. The decrease was
primarily due to the decline in income before income taxes, and a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for six months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.5% compared to 27.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets. Total assets at June 30, 2023 were $8,473.9 million, an increase of $50.9 million, or 0.6%, from $8,422.9 million at December 31, 2022. Total net loans decreased $100.5 million, or 1.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $6,793.8 million from $6,894.3 million at December 31, 2022. Loan originations and purchases were $332.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $500.8 million, or 60.1%, from $833.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decreased loan originations were a result of interest rate increases over the past year as customers adapt to the increased rate environment. We continue to focus on the origination of multi-family residential, commercial real estate and commercial business loans with a full banking relationship. The loan pipeline was $415.5 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $252.2 million at December 31, 2022.

The Bank maintains its conservative underwriting standards that include, among other things, a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and a debt coverage ratio of at least 125%. Multi-family residential (excluding underlying co-operative mortgages), commercial real estate and one-to-four family mixed-use property mortgage loans originated and purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 48.6% and an average debt coverage ratio of 161.0%.
The Bank’s non-performing assets totaled $39.6 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $13.7 million, or 25.8% from December 31, 2022. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.47% at June 30, 2023 and 0.63% at December 31, 2022. The ratio of ACL – loans to total non-performing loans was 207.1% at June 30, 2023 and 124.9% at December 31, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 mortgage-backed securities decreased $18.4 million, or 4.7%, to $373.8 million from $392.2 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the principal repayment of securities totaling $18.4 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, other securities increased $152.2 million, or 36.5%, to $569.1 million from $416.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in other securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to purchases of $171.7 million at an average rate of 6.55% partially offset by maturities totaling $10.0 million and a decrease in the fair value totaling $6.6 million. At June 30, 2023, other securities primarily consisted of securities issued by mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and CLOs.
Liabilities. Total liabilities were $7,802.6 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $56.8 million, or 0.7%, from $7,745.8 million at December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to depositors increased $228.7 million, or 3.6%, to $6,665.9 million due an increase of certificates of deposit totaling $706.4 million partially offset by a net decrease in all other deposit accounts totaling $468.0 million. The Company has based deposit growth on certificates of deposit as they extend liabilities thus reducing interest rate risk. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $1,034.2 million, an increase of $177.9 million from $856.3 million at December 31, 2022. Borrowed funds decreased $195.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $5.9 million, or 0.9%, to $671.3 million at June 30, 2023, from $677.2 million at December 31, 2022. Stockholders’ equity decreased due to the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of $0.44 per common share totaling $13.3 million and 688,331 shares repurchased totaling $9.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $13.8 million and a decrease of $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Book value per common share increased to $23.18 at June 30, 2023 compared to $22.97 at December 31, 2022.
Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to economically meet current and future financial obligations. The Company’s primary objectives in terms of managing liquidity are to maintain the ability to originate and purchase loans, repay borrowings as they mature, satisfy financial obligations that arise in the normal course of business and meet our customer’s deposit withdrawal needs. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and other securities, and proceeds from sales of securities and loans. Deposit flows and mortgage prepayments, however, are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity, including unsecured overnight lines of credit, and other types of borrowings. At June 30, 2023, the Company had available liquidity totaling $3.7 billion.
Liquidity management is both a short and long-term function of business management. During 2023, funds were provided by the Company’s operating and financing activities, which were used to fund our investing activities. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and due from banks, overnight interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold with original maturities of 90 days or less. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $160.1 million, an increase of $8.3 million, from $151.8 million, at December 31, 2022. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash held as collateral for interest rate swaps. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash totaled $75.2 million and $67.0 million, respectively.

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, 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, 2023. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. At June 30, 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 net portfolio value and the net portfolio value ratio as of June 30, 2023:

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 Asset-Liability Investment Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income through various interest rate scenarios.
The starting point for the net interest income simulation is an estimate of the next twelve 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 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, 2023, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling $2.0 billion. This portfolio is designed to 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 deposits totaling $922.5 million. At June 30, 2023, $872.5 million of the interest rate swaps are effective swaps at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.38% that mature through 2027 and $50.0 million of the interest rate swaps are forward swaps effective in 2024, at an average rate of 0.80%. The 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 loan portfolio with a weighted average receive rate of 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 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, 2023 and 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.
