Flushing Financial Corporation Reports 4Q24 and 2024 GAAP Loss Per Share of $(1.61) and $(1.05), and Core EPS of $0.14 and $0.73, Respectively; Actions Taken to Improve Profitability and to Strengthen the Balance Sheet

"Our Company successfully executed meaningful actions in 2024 to position it for enhanced earnings in 2025. First, we raised $70 million of capital to reposition the balance sheet, completed the restructuring of the investment portfolio, transferred loans to held for sale, and repositioned borrowings while reducing the cost. The overall result of this balance sheet restructuring is expected to be a significant improvement performance with 10-15 bps of NIM expansion expected in 1Q25. This restructuring will further propel our baseline NIM expansion, which was 29 and 18 bps, respectively, for GAAP and Core, in 4Q24. Second, our actions to move the balance sheet to a more neutral position have helped position the Company for the current environment. The recent steepening of the yield curve should further aid NIM improvement over time. Lastly, after making progress on our four areas of focus in 2024, we are shifting the priorities in 2025 to 1) Preserving Strong Liquidity and Capital, 2) Maintaining Credit Discipline, and 3) Improving Profitability. While progress occurred in 2024, by shifting our priorities in 2025, we expect further improvement.

- John R. Buran, President and CEO

(1) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis, where appropriate.
(2) Yields are calculated on the tax equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.
(3) Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated by dividing core noninterest expense (excluding OREO expense and the net gain/loss from the sale of OREO) by the total of core net interest income and core noninterest income.
(4) Calculated by dividing stockholders' equity by shares outstanding.
(5) Calculated by dividing tangible stockholders' common equity, a non-GAAP measure, by shares outstanding. Tangible stockholders' common equity is stockholders' equity less intangible assets. See "Calculation of Tangible Stockholders' Common Equity to Tangible Assets".
(6) See "Calculation of Tangible Stockholders' Common Equity to Tangible Assets".

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP (LOSS) EARNINGS and CORE EARNINGS

Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP (Loss) Earnings

The variance in GAAP (loss) and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option.

Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest Expense 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 noninterest 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 this measure is 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.
