Key developments for the quarter, compared to the linked quarter, are described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Margin and Net Interest Expansion:** Net interest margin increased six basis points to 2.93%, from 2.87%, and net interest income increased by $1.2 million, to $96.4 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Sustained Growth:** Total loans increased $91.9 million, a 3% annualized growth rate, and included commercial and industrial loan growth of $105.1 million, a 19% annualized growth rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Controlled Expenses:** Non-interest expense decreased by 13%, or $10.7 million, to $73.4 million, and operating expenses excluding non-core operations decreased to $69.1 million from $71.2 million.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher D. Maher, commented on the Company's results, "We are pleased to report strong first quarter results driven by continued loan growth, net interest margin expansion, and expense discipline. The Company remains focused on growing our business and improving profitability through margin expansion and prudent expense discipline." Mr. Maher added, "Our announced merger agreement with Flushing Financial Corporation ("Flushing") has recently been approved by shareholders, the New York State Department of Financial Services and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. It remains subject to the receipt of the requisite regulatory approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other customary closing conditions. We continue to expect the merger to close in the second quarter of 2026."

The Company's Board of Directors previously declared its 117<sup>th</sup> consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share will be paid on May 8, 2026, to common stockholders of record on April 27, 2026.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

The current quarter included an additional $4.2 million of merger-related expenses for the anticipated merger with Flushing and $128,000 of restructuring charges for the discontinuation of residential loan originations.

------

**<u>Net Interest Income and Margin</u>**

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. March 31, 2025*

Net interest income increased to $96.4 million, from $86.7 million, reflecting the net impact of the interest rate environment and an increase in average balances. Net interest margin increased to 2.93%, from 2.90%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.01% and 0.03%, respectively. Net interest margin increased primarily due to the decrease in cost of funds.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $1.25 billion, primarily due to increases in commercial loans and securities. The average yield for interest-earning assets decreased to 5.10%, from 5.13%, primarily due to the repricing of assets tied to short-term rates.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.66%, from 2.78%, primarily due to repricing of deposits and, to a lesser extent, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. The total cost of deposits decreased nine basis points to 1.97%, from 2.06%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $1.19 billion, primarily due to increases in deposits and FHLB advances.

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025*

Net interest income increased by $1.2 million, to $96.4 million from $95.3 million, and net interest margin increased to 2.93%, from 2.87%, driven by a decrease in cost of funds. Net interest income included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.01% for both periods.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $200.5 million, primarily due to increases in commercial loans, while the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.10%, from 5.19%.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.66%, from 2.83%, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of deposits and FHLB advances. The total cost of deposits decreased to 1.97%, from 2.13%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $248.5 million, primarily due to an increase in FHLB advances.

------

**<u>Provision for Credit Losses</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $2.7 million, as compared to $5.3 million for the corresponding prior year period, and $3.7 million in the linked quarter. The current quarter provision was primarily driven by net loan growth and an increase in criticized and classified loans, partly offset by a decrease in off-balance sheet commitments.

Net loan charge-offs were $701,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $636,000 for the corresponding prior year period and $2.0 million for the linked quarter. The prior year period included charge-offs of $720,000 related to the sale of $5.1 million of non-performing residential and consumer loans. The linked quarter included charge-offs of $1.1 million for three commercial relationships and charge-offs of $342,000 related to sales of non-performing residential and consumer loans.

**<u>Non-interest Income</u>**

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. March 31, 2025*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Other income decreased to $6.7 million, as compared to $11.3 million. Other income was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $354,000 related to net losses on equity investments in the current quarter. The prior year other income was favorably impacted by non-core operations of $205,000 related to net gains on equity investments.

Excluding non-core operations, other income decreased by $3.9 million. The primary drivers were a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.9 million related to disposition of the title business at the beginning of the fourth quarter last year, and a decrease in a net gain on sale of loans of $886,000 due to the discontinuation of residential loan originations. In addition, the prior period included non-recurring other income of $842,000.

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025*

Other income in the linked quarter was $9.4 million and included non-core operations of $230,000 related to net gain on equity investments. Excluding non-core operations, other income

------

decreased by $2.1 million. The primary drivers were decreases in net gain on sale of loans of $779,000 and commercial loan swap income of $774,000 due to lower activity.

**<u>Non-interest Expense</u>**

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. March 31, 2025*

Operating expenses increased to $73.4 million, as compared to $64.3 million. Operating expenses in the current quarter were adversely impacted by non-core operations of $4.3 million, due to merger-related expenses and restructuring charges.

Excluding non-core operations, operating expenses increased by $4.8 million. The primary driver was an increase in compensation and benefits of $2.7 million, mostly due to the net impact of discontinuation of residential initiatives and commercial banking hires adjusted for annual inflationary increases. The prior year also included a $1.3 million benefit from normal incentive-related adjustments released. Additional drivers were increases in professional fees of $797,000, partly due to higher consulting fees, other operating expenses of $627,000, mostly due to credit risk transfer premium expense, and data processing expense of $405,000.

*Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025*

Operating expenses in the linked quarter were $84.1 million and included non-core operations of $12.9 million related to restructuring charges, merger-related expenses and credit risk transfer execution expenses. Excluding non-core operations, operating expenses decreased by $2.1 million. The primary drivers were decreases in compensation and benefits of $1.5 million, partly due to fewer working days and the discontinuation of residential loan originations, and marketing expense of $503,000.

**<u>Income Tax Expense</u>**

The provision for income taxes was $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $6.8 million for the same prior year period and $3.8 million for the linked quarter. The effective tax rate was 24.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 24.1% for the same

------

prior year period and 22.3% for the linked quarter. The effective tax rate for the linked quarter was positively impacted by higher tax credits, partially offset by higher non-deductible merger expenses.

**<u>Financial Condition</u>**

*March 31, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025*

Total assets decreased by $8.0 million to $14.56 billion, primarily due to a decrease in total debt securities, offset by an increase in loans. Debt securities available-for-sale decreased by $50.7 million to $1.18 billion, from $1.23 billion, primarily due to principal reductions, maturities and calls. Debt securities held-to-maturity decreased by $28.7 million to $852.9 million, from $881.6 million, primarily due to principal repayments. Total loans increased by $91.9 million to $11.12 billion, from $11.03 billion, primarily due to an increase in commercial loans of $162.9 million, partly offset by a decrease in total consumer loans of $71.0 million.

Total liabilities decreased by $14.8 million to $12.89 billion, from $12.90 billion primarily related to a decrease in FHLB advances, partly offset by an increase in deposits. FHLB advances decreased by $217.0 million to $1.18 billion, from $1.40 billion driven by a shift to more favorably priced deposits. Deposits increased by $191.5 million to $11.16 billion, from $10.96 billion, primarily due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $182.2 million. Time deposits decreased by $81.6 million to $2.39 billion, from $2.47 billion, representing 21.4% and 22.5% of total deposits, respectively. Time deposits included a decrease in brokered time deposits of $121.9 million, partly offset by an increase in retail time deposits of $40.6 million. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 99.7%, as compared to 100.6%.

Other liabilities decreased by $7.0 million to $202.3 million, from $209.3 million, mostly due to payment of annual incentive accruals, partly offset by collateral received from counterparties.

Capital levels remain strong and in excess of "well-capitalized" regulatory levels at March 31, 2026, including the Company's estimated common equity tier one capital ratio of 10.7%.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total stockholders' equity increased to $1.67 billion, as compared to $1.66 billion, primarily due to net income, partially offset by capital returns comprised of dividends and share repurchases. Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $2.4 million primarily due to decreases in the fair market value of available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 177,450 shares totaling $3.4 million representing a weighted average cost of $19.18, which represented repurchases of exercised options and vesting of awards from employees outside of the authorized share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 3,226,284 shares available for repurchase under the authorized repurchase programs.

The Company's tangible common equity<sup>2</sup> increased by $7.7 million to $1.14 billion. The Company's stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 11.47% at March 31, 2026, and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased by 6 basis points during the year to 8.15%, primarily due to the drivers described above.

Book value per common share increased to $28.98, as compared to $28.97. Tangible book value per common share<sup>2</sup> increased to $19.86, as compared to $19.79.

**<u>Asset Quality</u>**

*March 31, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025*

Non-performing loans increased to $34.6 million, from $27.8 million, primarily related to one commercial loan, and represented 0.31% and 0.25% of total loans, respectively. The allowance for loan credit losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 248.60%, as compared to 301.27%. The level of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans increased to $55.9 million, from $47.8 million, primarily related to commercial loans. Criticized and classified loans and other real estate owned increased to $180.7 million, from $122.1 million, primarily due to one accruing commercial and industrial relationship of

<sup>2</sup> Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of intangible assets, goodwill, and preferred equity from both stockholders' equity and total assets. Refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the "Other Items - Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

$50.4 million. The Company's allowance for loan credit losses was 0.77% of total loans, as compared to 0.76%. Refer to "Provision for Credit Losses" section for further discussion.

The Company's asset quality, excluding purchased with credit deterioration ("PCD") loans, was as follows. Non-performing loans increased to $28.7 million, from $22.4 million. The allowance for loan credit losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 299.64%, as compared to 374.46%. The level of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans, excluding non-performing loans, increased to $47.1 million, from $44.7 million.

**<u>Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reported amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of reported net income excluding non-core operations and in some instances excluding income taxes and provision for credit losses, and reporting equity and asset amounts excluding intangible assets, goodwill or preferred stock, all of which can vary from period to period, provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and, therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, which may be presented by other companies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation table at the end of this document for details on the earnings impact of these items.
