UNIONDALE, N.Y., October 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ-GS:  FFIC) the parent holding company for Flushing Bank (the “Bank”), today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

John R. Buran, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I want to thank our employees for their tireless work in assisting our customers and communities as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mr. Buran continued, “We are pleased to announce our third quarter earnings totaled $14.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, driven by strong execution of our strategic objectives. We continued to proactively manage credit risk and made good progress improving our funding mix with an emphasis on non-interest bearing demand accounts, which increased 4% (not annualized), during the quarter. For the second consecutive quarter we achieved record net interest income, as the Company capitalized on the low interest rate environment. The cost of funds decreased 10 basis points while the yield on interest earning assets increased three basis points. The net interest margin expanded 13 basis points from the linked quarter. Given the current rate environment, we expect to sustain a strong margin and anticipate that our cost of funds will further decline during the fourth quarter as $315 million of retail certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature at an average rate of 1.10% compared to a current one year CD rate of 0.60%.”

“The principal balance of loans granted forbearance has decreased from a peak of $1.5 billion to $846 million with approximately 80% of loans scheduled to return to full payment have already done so. We generally granted additional forbearances at new terms more advantageous to the Company for the majority of customers that have not yet returned to full payment status. We expect further reduction in active forbearances during the fourth quarter as most will reach their expiration prior to year-end. Our loan portfolio is primarily real estate based with 88% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 40%. Our forbearances share similar credit quality characteristics with the overall loan portfolio. We have a conservative, resilient seasoned loan portfolio built upon our long history and foundation of disciplined underwriting and excellent credit quality.”

“Our enhanced technology platform, which went live in March 2020 offering mobile banking capabilities, has effectively extended our branch footprint.  Importantly, 23% of all account openings in the third quarter were completed using our technology platform as customers continue to shift to digital banking.  Additionally, our online banking enrollment has increased 4% quarter over quarter.”

“Finally, we are excited to report that earlier today Empire Bancorp, Inc. (“Empire”) shareholders approved the merger, which is scheduled to close on or about October 31, 2020. The credit quality of Empire remains strong with no loans greater than 90 days past due and less than $1.0 million in loans greater than 30 days past due. As of September 30, 2020, Empire has $120 million in active forbearance agreements outstanding.”

Mr. Buran concluded, “We are pleased with the execution against our strategic objectives resulting in record net interest income of $49.9 million and record core earnings for the quarter which totaled $16.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share. Credit continued to be strong as non-performing assets at the end of the quarter totaled only 35 basis points. In addtition, loan forbearances declined consistent with our expectations. We look forward to welcoming Empire employees to the Flushing Bank family to together build upon their success and provide continued exceptional service as a leading banking franchise on Long Island.”

(1) Calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity by shares outstanding.

(2) Calculated by dividing tangible stockholders’ common equity, a non-GAAP measure, by shares outstanding. Tangible stockholders’ common equity is stockholders’ equity less intangible assets (goodwill, net of deferred taxes). See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.

(3) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis, where appropriate.

(4) Yields are calculated on the tax equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.

(5) Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated by dividing non-interest expense (excluding accelerated employee benefits upon officer’s death, merger expense, OREO expense and the net gain/loss from the sale of OREO) by the total of net interest income (excluding net gains and losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges) and non-interest income (excluding life insurance proceeds, net gains and losses from the sale of securities and fair value adjustments).

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP EARNINGS and CORE EARNINGS

Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings

The variance in GAAP and core earnings is primarily due to the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to swaps designated to protect against rising rates and borrowing carried at fair value under the fair value option. As the swaps get closer to maturity, the volatility in fair value adjustments will dissipate. In a declining interest rate environment, the movement in the curve exaggerates our mark-to-market loss position. In a rising interest rate environment or a steepening of the yield curve, the loss position would experience an improvement.

Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income, Core Yield on Total Loans, Core Net Interest Margin and tangible book value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this release. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and non-interest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as these are measures commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity.

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
