1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the "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 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 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 periods presented 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, 2025.

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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company's deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. For reporting period ended March 31, 2025, the Company considered the evaluation of goodwill for impairment as a significant estimate.

The Company reviewed all available for sale securities that had an unrealized loss at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Upon this review management determined one municipal security indicated that a credit loss existed at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, resulting in an allowance for credit losses being recorded. At March 31, 2026, this security was non-accrual with an amortized cost of $20.6 million, an allowance for credit losses of $2.8 million and a fair value of $17.6 million. At December 31, 2025, this security was non-accrual with an amortized cost of $20.6 million, an allowance for credit losses of $2.9 million and a fair value of $17.3 million.

All but one of the remaining securities held on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are either rated investment grade or better, and all these securities have a long history of no credit losses. The Bank holds approximately $10 million of corporate debt from a New York based bank holding company that at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was rated B1. We do not consider the decline in fair value to be credit related given the underlying bond has not missed any payments and financial performance has not deteriorated to a level where the institution is not well capitalized. The Bank has placed the security on the watch list and will continue to monitor this risk position closely to determine if any action steps and valuation adjustments are required in the future. It is not anticipated that this security or any other available for sale security held at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company's investment, other than the one municipal security discussed above.

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. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company's cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. If the Company identifies any decline in the fair value due to credit loss factors and an 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.

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 no allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company reviewed each held-to-maturity security as part of its quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") process, resulting in an allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

It is the Company's policy to exclude accrued interest receivable from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity and the valuation of available for sale securities. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.1 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $10.4 million and $8.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Loans

The following represents the composition of loans as of the dates indicated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, | December 31, |
|  | 2026 | 2025 |
|  | *(In thousands)* | *(In thousands)* |

| Net unamortized premiums and unearned loan fees | 12516 | 12488 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total loans, net of fees and costs excluding portfolio layer basis adjustments | 6561178 | 6652307 |
| Unallocated portfolio layer basis adjustments <sup>(1)</sup> | 352 | 1645 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total loans, net of fees and costs | $6561530 | $6653952 |

---

(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, certain market value adjustments related to hedging and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. 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 $45.6 million and $46.4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and was included in "Interest and dividends receivable" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management's opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

**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 the 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 ACL 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 has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The provision recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by increased reserves applied to two Business Banking loans and one Real Estate loan. The ACL - loans totaled $44.5 million on March 31, 2026 compared to $42.8 million on December 31, 2025. On March 31, 2026, the ACL - loans represented 0.68% of gross loans and 87.9% of non-performing loans. On December 31, 2025, the ACL - loans represented 0.64% of gross loans and 103.0% of non-performing loans.

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. On March 31, 2026, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers who have received a loan modification due to financial difficulty.

The following table shows loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification granted during the period indicated:

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.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and repayment is expected to be substantially provided by the operation or sale of the collateral. The following table presents types of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans as of the periods indicated:

**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.

On March 31, 2026, the Company had commitments to extend credit totaling $402.9 million.

The Company has implemented a strategy of selling certain delinquent and non-performing loans. Once the Company has decided to sell a loan, the sale usually closes in a short period of time, generally within the same quarter. Loans designated held for sale are reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Terms of sale generally includes cash due upon the closing of the sale, no contingencies or recourse to the Company and servicing is released to the buyer.

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leases

The Company has 33 operating leases for branches (including headquarters) and office spaces, and one operating lease for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from seven months to approximately 11 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company's calculation of the lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Company will not recognize Right of Use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Company has one agreement in 2026 and three agreements in 2025 that qualified as short-term leases, respectively.

Certain leases have escalation clauses for operating expenses and real estate taxes, which are recorded as variable lease cost. The Company's non-cancelable operating lease agreements expire through 2036.

#### 8 . Stock-Based Compensation
On May 29, 2024, stockholders approved the Company's 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan") to replace the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"). The 2024 Plan is an "omnibus" stock plan that provides for a variety of equity award vehicles to maintain flexibility. The 2024 Plan, like the 2014 Plan, permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), and other stock-based awards. Currently, awards to employees primarily consist of RSUs and PRSUs and to Company directors of RSUs. The 2024 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 637,949 shares. Although no further awards may be granted under the 2014 Plan, outstanding awards granted prior to February 28, 2024, will continue in accordance with their terms.

The Company has a long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of PRSUs in addition to time-based RSUs. Under the terms of the PRSU Agreement, the number of PRSUs that may be earned depends on the extent to which performance goals for the award are achieved over a three-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The number of PRSUs that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the target award, with no PRSUs earned for below threshold-level performance, 50% of PRSUs earned for threshold-level performance, 100% of PRSUs earned for target-level performance, and 150% of PRSUs earned

for maximum-level performance. As of March 31, 2026, PRSUs granted in 2026, 2025 and 2024 are being accrued at target. The levels of accrual are commensurate with the projected performance of the respective grant.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's net income, as reported, included $1.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs, as recorded in salaries and employee benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, including the benefit or expense of phantom stock awards, and $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to the stock-based compensation plans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 the Company granted 282,550 and 228,501 RSU awards and 77,550 and 71,700 PRSU awards, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, 290,751 shares were available for future issuance under the 2024 Omnibus Plan.

The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards and performance restricted stock units. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are recorded in the period they occur.

The following table summarizes the Company's RSU and PRSU awards under the 2024 Omnibus Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

| Vested but unissued at March 31, 2026 | 106998 | $18.91 |  | $— |

---

As of March 31, 2026, there was $8.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU and PRSU awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of awards vested for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU and PRSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have no risk of forfeiture. These shares will be issued at the original contractual vesting and settlement dates.

*Phantom Stock Plan:* The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit-sharing plan for officers who have achieved the designated level and completed one year of service. The Company adjusts its liability under this plan to the fair value of the shares at the end of each period.

The Company previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 that it does not expect to contribute to the employee pension plan or the outside director pension plan during the year ending December 31, 2026.

During December 2025, the Company modified its Postretirement Plans through the following actions:

*Curtailment*

The Company approved a restructuring program that resulted in the elimination of future service benefits for all active employees and current retirees. As a result, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $4.9 million, reflecting the reduction in future benefits.

*Special Termination Benefits*

The Company approved a restructuring program that provided benefits to certain senior executives in excess of what the plan already provided totaling $4.4 million. These amounts paid to senior executives were contractual obligations. As a result, the Company recognized special termination benefit of $6.7 million, reflecting the additional benefits.

*Settlement*

As part of the restructuring program, the Company adopted the resolution to terminate the Postretirement Plans effective December 29, 2025 recognizing a settlement gain of $2.3 million. Final distribution totaling $6.1 million was made in the first quarter of 2026.

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. The Company did not purchase or sell any financial assets or liabilities carried under the fair value option during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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 Operations – Net (loss) gain 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 Operations, 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 $61.9 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of $0.3 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company generally holds its interest-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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Level 2 included mortgage-backed securities, CLOs, corporate debt, US government agencies, and derivatives.

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned, and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, as well as municipal bonds.

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 significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's municipals, trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures valued under Level 3 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 weighted average for unobservable inputs for collateral-dependent loans is based on the relative fair value of the loans.

The Company did not have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 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.

#### Impaired Loans:
For impaired 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, 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. See Note 5 ("Loans") of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Unaudited)

#### 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.

#### Derivatives:
The fair value of derivatives is based upon broker quotes.

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Derivative Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps and interest rate floor options. At March 31, 2026, the Company's derivatives are used for four purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company's exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans with a notional amount of $635.8 million and $645.7 million of swaps outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $1.2 billion of swaps outstanding, which include $604.0 million each with customers and bank counterparties at March 31, 2026 and $1.2 billion of swaps outstanding, which include $589.2 million each with customers and bank counterparties at December 31, 2025; 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances and brokered deposits with $825.8 million and $905.8 million of swaps outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively; and 4) to mitigate the Company's exposure to decreasing interest rates on a portion of its adjustable rate loan portfolio with a notional amount of $100.0 million of interest rate floor options outstanding at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company maintained portfolio layer hedges on a closed portfolio of loans with a notional amount of $480.0 million.

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 within the pools if the hedges were de-designated.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.

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 income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affected earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $0.6 million and $4.5 million in reduced expense, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings is $0.6 million in reduced expense.

A portion of the reduced expense is driven by the amortization of income from terminated cash flow hedges. This income is amortized over the remaining original terms of terminated cash flow hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no cashflow hedges terminated. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, income from the amortization of terminated cash flow hedges totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The Company's derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements between the Company and its designated counterparties. The Company has not made a policy election to offset its derivative positions. The interest rate swaps with borrowers are cross collateralized with the underlying loan and, therefore, there is no posted collateral. Interest rate swap agreements with third-party counterparties contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount and receive collateral for agreements in a net asset position.

The following table presents the effect of the master netting arrangements on the presentation of the derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated:

14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Reporting

The Company operates as a single unit, therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting we consider the Company as a single reportable segment, a community bank. The Bank revenues are derived principally from interest on loans, our mortgage-backed securities portfolio, and interest and dividends on other investments in our securities portfolio. We also generate non-interest income from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees, income earned on BOLI, dividends on FHLB-NY stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans.

The Bank's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the senior executive committee that includes, but is not limited to, the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and the chief operating officer. The CODM uses net income (loss) as the measure of segment performance to evaluate the income generated from assets (return on assets) and to evaluate how efficiently the Company leverages its shareholders equity (return on equity) in deciding the most appropriate avenue to reinvest profits.

As we consider the entire entity as one operating segment, please see the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the measure of segment performance, net income (loss) and significant segment expenses. Segment assets are consistent with total assets as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

**15. Subsequent Event**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the matters described below, no subsequent events were identified that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 29, 2025, Flushing Financial Corporation (the "Company" or "Flushing") and its wholly owned subsidiary Flushing Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with OceanFirst Financial Corp. ("OceanFirst") and its wholly owned subsidiary OceanFirst Bank N.A. The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will merge with and into OceanFirst (the "Merger"), with OceanFirst continuing as the surviving corporation. Immediately following the Merger, Flushing Bank will merge with and into OceanFirst Bank N.A. (the "Bank Merger"), with OceanFirst Bank N.A. continuing as the surviving bank.

The Merger is structured as an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than certain excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.85 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of OceanFirst (the "Exchange Ratio"), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

On March 23, 2026, the New York State Department of Financial Services granted its approval of the Bank Merger and related applications.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the parties received the remaining shareholder and regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger. Specifically:

• On April 2, 2026, the shareholders of OceanFirst and the shareholders of the Company each approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at their respective special meetings.

• On April 6, 2026, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted its approval of the Bank Merger.

• On April 24, 2026, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System granted its approval of the application by OceanFirst to merge with the Company and to indirectly acquire Flushing Bank.

(Unaudited)

With the receipt of the foregoing approvals, all regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger have been obtained. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur no later than June 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger had not been consummated as of the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and accordingly the effects of the Merger have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Related Warburg Pincus Equity Investment*

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on December 29, 2025, OceanFirst entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with affiliates of investment funds managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (collectively, the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Investors have agreed to make a fully committed $225 million investment in newly issued equity securities of OceanFirst, consisting of shares of OceanFirst common stock and non-voting common-equivalent stock, together with related warrants (the "Warburg Pincus Investment"). The Company is not a party to the Investment Agreement. The Warburg Pincus Investment is expected to close concurrently with, and is conditioned upon the concurrent closing of, the Merger and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement. The proceeds of the Warburg Pincus Investment are expected to be used by OceanFirst to support the combined company's capital position following the closing of the Merger.

16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

*Accounting Standards: Pending Adoption*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". This ASU requires that public business entities on an interim and annual basis (1) disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, which relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a) - (e). (2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. (3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (4) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating if the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on 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 March 31, 2026, 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.

**Proposed Merger**

On December 29, 2025, the Company, OceanFirst Financial Corp. ("OceanFirst"), and Apollo Merger Sub Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OceanFirst ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "merger agreement"), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, OceanFirst and the Company have agreed to combine their respective businesses through a series of mergers.

With the foregoing approvals, no further regulatory approvals are required to complete the proposed transaction. The parties anticipate that the proposed transaction will close no later than June 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "first merger"), with the Company as the surviving entity. Immediately following the first merger, the Company will merge with and into OceanFirst (the "second merger" and together with the first merger, the "mergers"), with OceanFirst as the surviving corporation (the "combined company" and certain references to "OceanFirst" herein refer to the combined company following the second merger, as context requires). On the day immediately following the mergers, Flushing Bank will merge with and into OceanFirst Bank, National Association, a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OceanFirst ("OceanFirst Bank," and such merger, the "bank merger"), with OceanFirst Bank continuing as the surviving bank (the "surviving bank").

In the first merger, the Company's stockholders will be entitled to receive 0.85 of a share of OceanFirst common stock for each share of Company common stock they own, subject to certain exceptions. Although the number of shares of OceanFirst common stock that the Company's stockholders will be entitled to receive per share of Company common stock is fixed, the market value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of OceanFirst common stock and will not be known at the time the Company's stockholders vote on the merger agreement.

Concurrently with its entry into the merger agreement, OceanFirst entered into an investment agreement (the "investment agreement"), dated as of December 29, 2025, with affiliates of funds managed by Warburg Pincus LLC ("Warburg") pursuant to which a $225 million cash investment (the "investment") will be made into the combined entity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported net income of $5.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, an increase of $15.6 million, or 159.5% from net loss of ($9.8) million, or ($0.29) per diluted common share earned in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 2.67% from 2.51% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by lower deposit costs and growth in noninterest bearing deposits. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual and delinquent loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 2.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

Approximately 90% of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 35%, based on appraisal at origination. 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 March 31, 2026, our allowance for credit losses ("ACL") to gross loans stood at 0.68% and our ACL to non-performing loans was 87.9%. Non-performing assets at the end of the quarter were 0.77% of total assets.

The Bank and Company remain well-capitalized under current capital regulations of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board, respectively, and are subject to 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 MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
***General.*** Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $5.8 million, an increase of $15.6 million, or 159.5%, from ($9.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share was $0.17 and ($0.29) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Return on average equity was 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to (5.36%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Return on average assets was 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to (0.43%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The period ended March 31, 2025, included an impairment charge totaling $17.6 million to fully impair goodwill.

***Interest Income.*** Interest and dividend income decreased $3.5 million, or 3.0%, to $113.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $116.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decline in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $176.0 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $8,293.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $8,468.9 million for the comparable prior year period. There was a 5 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 5.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decline in interest-earning assets was primarily driven by our decision to maintain pricing and credit discipline. Excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual and delinquent loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 7 basis points to 5.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 5.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Management's Discussion and Analysis of**

**Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

***Interest Expense.*** Interest expense decreased $5.7 million, or 9.0%, to $57.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing 18 basis points to 3.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 3.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, coupled with the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing $286.4 million to $6,974.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7,261.1 million for the comparable prior year period. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased $110.5 million, or 12.9%, reducing the need for interest bearing funding.

***Net Interest Income.*** Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $55.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 4.2%, from $53.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income was driven by an increase in the net interest margin of 16 basis points to 2.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 2.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net interest margin, excluding prepayment penalty income from loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual and delinquent loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, was 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 14 basis points from 2.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Provision for Credit Losses.*** During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for credit losses was $2.0 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The provision recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by increased reserves applied to two Business Banking loans and one Real Estate loan. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing assets collateralized by real estate was 59.3% at March 31, 2026. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

***Non-Interest Income.*** Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $1.8 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 64.8% from $5.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to higher net losses from fair value adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Non-Interest Expense.*** Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $46.8 million, a decrease of $12.9 million, or 21.6%, from $59.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge for $17.6 million recorded during the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by an increase of $3.7 million in salaries and employee benefits to $26.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Income before Income Taxes.*** Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $8.2 million, an increase of $14.1 million, from the net loss totaling ($5.9) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the reasons discussed above.

***Provision for Income Taxes.*** The provision for income taxes was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 38.9%, from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 28.8% compared to (65.2%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The March 31, 2025 tax rate was negatively impacted by the non-tax-deductibility of the goodwill impairment charge.

#### FINANCIAL CONDITION
***Assets.*** Total assets at March 31, 2026, were $8,862.8 million, an increase of $169.5 million, or 2.0%, from $8,693.3 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in total assets was mainly due to securities available for sale increasing $238.7 million, or 17.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, to $1,628.6 million from $1,389.9 million at December 31, 2025, partially offset with a decrease during the same period in total net loans held for investment totaling $94.1 million. The decrease in loans was primarily due to the Company maintaining pricing and credit discipline. Loan originations and purchases were $161.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $12.6 million,

or 7.2%, from $174.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The loan pipeline was $327.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $275.5 million at December 31, 2025.

(1) Includes purchases of $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

(2) Includes purchases of $34.0 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

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 three months ended March 31, 2026 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 40.0% and an average debt coverage ratio of 196.0%.

Non-performing assets totaled $68.2 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $9.3 million, or 15.9% from December 31, 2025. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.77% at March 31, 2026 compared to 0.68% at December 31, 2025. The ratio of ACL – loans to total non-performing loans was 87.9% at March 31, 2026 compared to 103.0% at December 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, mortgage-backed securities increased $265.3 million, or 32.0%, to $1,095.1 million from $829.8 million at December 31, 2025. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to purchases of securities totaling $342.2 million at an average yield of 4.68% and principal repayments totaling $70.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in the securities fair value totaling $6.9 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, other securities decreased $27.0 million, or 4.4%, to $583.4 million from $610.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in other securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to calls totaling $34.3 million and principal repayments totaling $3.9 million, partially offset by due to purchases totaling $12.0 million, at an average yield of 4.72%. At March 31, 2026, other securities primarily consisted of securities issued by mutual or bond funds, government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and CLOs.

***Liabilities.*** Total liabilities were $8,165.4 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $180.1 million, or 2.3%, from $7,985.3 million at December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Due to Depositors increased $232.0 million, or 3.2%, to $7,484.1 million primarily due to increases in NOW and money market accounts totaling $270.0 million, or 6.9% and non-interest bearing accounts of $26.2 million, or 2.7%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit accounts totaling $68.9 million, or 3.0%. At March 31, 2026, the Company had uninsured deposits totaling $2.8 billion, or 36.4% of deposits of which $1.4 billion was fully collateralized by some other method leaving uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaling $1.3 billion, or 17.5% of deposits. Uninsured deposits are greatly influenced by our government deposit portfolio. These deposits fluctuate at times that affect both the uninsured deposit levels and other sources of liquidity used. Borrowed funds decreased $68.2 million, or 14.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as funds were not needed due to increases in deposits and decreases in loans.

Total deposits at the periods shown and the weighted average rate on deposits at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are as follows:

(1) The weighted average rate does not reflect the effect of interest rate swaps.

Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $1,131.0 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, from $1,131.1 million at December 31, 2025. We utilize brokered deposits as an additional funding source, to assist in the management of our interest rate risk and as an underlying funding source for a portion of our interest rate swaps. We obtain brokered certificates of deposit as a wholesale funding source when the interest rate on these deposits are below other wholesale options, or to extend the maturities of our deposits. Brokered deposits generally have a higher beta than our retail deposits as the interest rates are typically more sensitive to changes in the federal funds rates. A portion of our brokered certificates of deposit are hedged against rising interest rates using interest rate swaps. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $725.8 million of brokered certificates of deposits were hedged using interest rate swaps. See Note 11 ("Derivative Financial Instruments") of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Brokered deposits obtained by the Bank are generally fully FDIC insured. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Bank did not hold any uninsured brokered deposits.

***Equity.*** Total stockholders' equity was $697.4 million at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 1.5%, from $708.0 million at December 31, 2025. Stockholders' equity decreased primarily due to the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company's common stock of $0.44 per common share totaling $15.3 million, and a decrease of $2.2 million in other comprehensive income (loss), partially offset by net income totaling $5.8 million. Book value per common share was $20.58 at March 31, 2026, compared to $20.96 at December 31, 2025.

***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 and securities, 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 the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity, including unsecured overnight lines of credit, brokered deposits and other types of borrowings. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $4.1 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, in combined available liquidity through cash lines with the FHLB-NY, Federal Reserve and other commercial banks, as well as unencumbered securities.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term function of business management. During 2026, funds were used by the Company's operating and investing activities funded by financing activities. The largest uses of funds during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were the purchase of $354.2 million of securities available for sale and the purchase of $34.0 million of loans. These uses were primarily funded by an increase in due to depositors totaling $231.8 million, net repayments of loans totaling $126.0 million and sales, calls and repayments of securities totaling $108.7 million. 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 March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $158.7 million, an increase of $32.6 million, or 25.9% from $126.1 million, at December 31, 2025. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash held as collateral for interest rate swaps. At each of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, restricted cash totaled $16.6 million.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the impact on earnings and capital from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk exists because our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may mature or reprice at different times or by different amounts. We assess interest rate risk by comparing the results of several income and capital simulations scenarios to the base case compared to scenarios with changes in interest rates, degree of change over time, speed of change, and changes in the shape of the yield curve. These scenarios have assumptions including loan originations, investment securities purchases and sales, prepayment rates on loans and investment securities, deposit flows, and mix and pricing decisions.

*Asset/Liability Management.* Asset/liability management involves assessing, monitoring and managing interest rate risk. The asset liability committee ("ALCO") and the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors ("Board ALCO") have primary oversight responsibility of interest rate risk. The actions and activities of the Board ALCO are dictated by the "ALCO and Investment Committee Charter" of the Company Board of Directors (the "Charter"). The Board ALCO has

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Management's Discussion and Analysis of**

**Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

established policy limits for changes of net interest income and the economic value of equity under various scenarios and liquidity risk limits to ensure the Company has sufficient liquid assets to meet its short-term obligations, even during periods of financial stress and is reviewed no less frequently than quarterly. The ALCO policy and oversight is interconnected to the Company's capital plan.

The Board ALCO reviews simulations of various interest rate scenarios to assess the potential impact on the Company's balance sheet and income statement. The model employed by the Company uses a statistic balance sheet as of the date the modeling is being generated. The limitation to this model is that unexpected events may not be captured in the output. The model is validated no less frequently than annually with the variables in the model subjected to annual stress tests. In addition, the interest rate risk model is back-tested no less frequently than annually to ensure the model remains consistent with actual results. The information from the interest rate risk modeling allows the Board ALCO to assess the potential impact of interest rate changes on the Company's profitability and future earnings.

The interest rate risk scenarios affect the position the Company may take with the pricing of assets and liabilities.

Models are inherently imperfect and subject to assumptions and limitations. The model output is affected by the data quality and the assumptions used. The Company uses both internal and external inputs into the model. The market interest rates are obtained from the Federal Reserve World Interest Rate Probabilities ("WIRP") curve and may be adjusted by the management level ALCO committee ("Management ALCO"); the change in deposit betas is based upon deposit studies completed by an independent third party; loan prepayment assumptions are based upon internal analysis; loan origination data is Company generated; and additions to assets and liabilities is derived from the budget or forecast or internally generated projected cash flows.

There was no material change in the source of the data used in our interest rate risk modeling in the current period. Current economic factors such as interest rate forecasts as changed from period over period may affect the modeling. Key assumptions include deposit betas and loan origination yields. Deposit betas vary by product and direction of interest rates. In an upward shock, weighted average deposit betas (based on period end balances) were 69% at March 31, 2026 and 70% at March 31, 2025. In a downward shock, weighted average deposit betas (based on period end balances) were 62% at March 31, 2026 and 61% at March 31, 2025. Loan origination yields vary by product and the weighted average yield (based on period end loan balances) was 6.19% at March 31, 2026 compared to 6.99% at March 31, 2025.

Management ALCO, which consists of representatives from treasury, finance, business units, and senior management, oversees the interest rate risk, liquidity risk and capital risk while providing regular reports to the Board ALCO. These reports quantify the potential changes in net interest income and economic value of equity through various rate scenarios. The Management ALCO also provides the results of the liquidity stress test prepared by the Chief Risk Officer, the sensitivity analyses of the interest rate risk model variables, and the capital position of the Company and the Bank.

*Economic Value of Equity Analysis*. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 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 less 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 March 31, 2026. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. At March 31, 2026, 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 ratio for the following periods:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Projected Percentage Change In | Projected Percentage Change In |  |  |
|  | Net Portfolio Value (NPV) | Net Portfolio Value (NPV) | Net Portfolio Value Ratio | Net Portfolio Value Ratio |
|  | March 31,  | March 31,  | March 31,  | March 31,  |
| Change in Interest Rate | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| -200 Basis points | 6.7% | 4.2% | 10.7% | 9.2% |
| -100 Basis points | 3.2 | 1.8 | 10.6 | 9.1 |
| Base interest rate | - | - | 10.4 | 9.1 |
| +100 Basis points | (5.9) | (5.0) | 10.0 | 8.8 |
| +200 Basis points | (12.7) | (10.8) | 9.4 | 8.4 |

*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. 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025. Prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. At March 31, 2026, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

The following table presents the Company's interest rate shock as of March 31:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Projected Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | Projected Percentage Change in Net Interest Income |
| Change in Interest Rate | 2026 | 2025 |
| -200 Basis points | 3.7% | (1.5)% |
| -100 Basis points | 1.3 | (1.2) |
| Base interest rate | - | - |
| +100 Basis points | (5.3) | (3.4) |
| +200 Basis points | (10.6) | (7.8) |

---

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 excluded from this analysis. Based on these assumptions, net interest income would be reduced by 6.2% from a 200 basis point increase in rates over the next twelve months and a 2.3% increase from a 200 basis point decrease in rate over the same period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling $2.8 billion. This portfolio is designed to provide protection against rising interest rates. See Note 11 ("Derivative Financial Instruments") of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

#### 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 table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 and costs, which are considered adjustments to yields.

#### CRITICIZED AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS
Our policy is to review our assets, focusing primarily on the loan portfolio, other real estate owned, and the investment portfolio, to ensure that credit quality is maintained at the highest levels. See Note 5 ("Loans") of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of how loans are determined to be criticized or classified and a table displaying criticized and classified loans at March 31, 2026. The amortized cost of Criticized and Classified assets was $120.2 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $19.2 million from $101.0 million at December 31, 2025.

Included within net loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.
