NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounting and reporting policies of The First of Long Island Corporation (“Corporation”) reflect banking industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island (“Bank”). The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries: FNY Service Corp. and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc. The Bank and FNY Service Corp. jointly own another subsidiary, The First of Long Island REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Corporation” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Corporation's December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements. When appropriate, items in the prior year financial statements are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates. In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances, revenue and expense amounts, and the disclosures provided, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, based on available information. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Information available which could affect these judgements include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). OCI includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income. OCI for the Corporation consists of unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities and derivative instruments and changes in the funded status of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan, all net of related income taxes. Accumulated OCI is recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The components of OCI and the related tax effects are as follows:

State and Municipals

At March 31, 2022, approximately $98.2 million of state and municipal bonds had an unrealized loss of $6.6 million. Each of the state and municipal bonds are considered high investment grade and rated Aa2/AA- or higher. The decline in value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity and not credit quality. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The Bank does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Pass-through Mortgage Securities

At March 31, 2022, approximately $167.2 million of pass-through mortgage security had an unrealized loss of $16.9 million. These securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies and are considered high investment grade. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The Bank does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

At March 31, 2022, approximately $92.3 million of collateralized mortgage obligations had an unrealized loss of $9.8 million. These securities were issued by U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies and are considered high investment grade. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The Bank does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Corporate Bonds

At March 31, 2022, approximately $111.2 million of the corporate bonds had an unrealized loss of $7.8 million. The corporate bonds represent senior unsecured debt obligations of six of the largest U.S. based financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo. Each of the corporate bonds has a stated maturity of ten years and matures in 2028. The bonds reprice quarterly based on the ten year constant maturity swap rate.

Each of the financial institutions is considered upper medium investment grade and rated A3 or higher. The unrealized loss is attributable to changes in credit spreads and interest rates and the illiquid nature of the securities. The Bank does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. Each of these financial institutions has diversified revenue streams, is well capitalized and continues to make timely interest payments. Management evaluates the quarterly financial statements of each company to determine if full payment of principal and interest is in doubt and does not believe there is any impairment at March 31, 2022.

Sales of AFS Securities. Sales of AFS securities were as follows:

Management identifies loans in the Bank’s portfolio that must be individually evaluated for loss due to disparate risk characteristics or information suggesting that the Bank will be unable to collect all the principal and interest due. For loans individually evaluated, a specific reserve is estimated based on either the fair value of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. In estimating the fair value of real estate collateral, management utilizes appraisals or evaluations adjusted for costs to dispose and a distressed sale adjustment, if needed. Estimating the fair value of collateral other than real estate is also subjective in nature and sometimes requires difficult and complex judgements. Determining expected future cash flows can be more subjective than determining fair values. Expected future cash flows could differ significantly, both in timing and amount, from the cash flows actually received over the loan’s remaining life. Individually evaluated loans are excluded from the estimation of credit losses for the pooled portfolio.

For loans collectively evaluated for credit loss, management segregates its loan portfolio into distinct pools, certain of which are combined in reporting loans outstanding by class of loans: (1) commercial and industrial; (2) small business credit scored; (3) multifamily; (4) owner-occupied; (5) other commercial real estate; (6) construction and land development; (7) closed end residential mortgage; (8) revolving home equity; (9) consumer; (10) municipal loans; and (11) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. Historical loss information from the Bank’s own loan portfolio from December 31, 2007 to present provides a basis for management’s assessment of expected credit losses. The choice of a historical look-back period that begins in 2007 covers an entire economic cycle and impacts the average historical loss rates used to calculate the final allowance for credit losses (“ACL” or “allowance”). Due to the extensive loss data available, management selected the vintage approach to measure the historical loss component of credit losses for most of its loan pools. For the revolving home equity and small business credit scored pools, the PD/LGD (probability of default/loss given default) method is used to measure historical losses. No historical loss method was applied to the SBA PPP loan pool which is 100% guaranteed by the federal government.

Management believes that the methods selected fairly reflect the historical loss component of expected losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. However, since future losses could vary significantly from those experienced in the past, on a quarterly basis management adjusts its historical loss experience to reflect current and forecasted conditions. In doing so, management considers a variety of general qualitative and quantitative factors (“Q-factors”) and then subjectively determines the weight to assign to each in estimating losses. Qualitative characteristics include differences in underwriting standards, policies, lending staff and environmental risks. Management also considers whether further adjustments to historical loss information are needed to reflect the extent to which current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts over a one year to two year forecasting horizon differ from the conditions that existed during the historical loss period. These quantitative adjustments reflect changes to relevant data such as changes in unemployment rates, gross

domestic product (“GDP”), vacancies, average growth in pools of loans, delinquencies or other factors associated with the financial assets. The allowance for SBA PPP loans represents an estimate of potential loss due to documentation and processing deficiencies. The immediate reversion method is applied for periods beyond the forecasting horizon. The Bank’s ACL allocable to pools of loans that are collectively evaluated for credit loss results primarily from these qualitative and quantitative adjustments to historical loss experience. Because of the nature of the Q-factors and the degree of judgement involved in assessing their impact, management’s resulting estimate of losses may not accurately reflect current and future losses in the portfolio.

Growth in commercial mortgages and commercial and industrial loans was the main driver of the provision recorded in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by declines in historical loss rates, improvements in economic conditions and other portfolio metrics.

The following tables present the activity in the ACL for the periods indicated.

There were no loans in the process of foreclosure nor did the Bank hold any foreclosed residential real estate property at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Accrued interest receivable from loans totaled $8.6 million and $8.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in the line item “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when it includes a concession by the Bank and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Bank performs the evaluation under its internal underwriting policy.

The Bank did not modify any loans in a TDR during the first three months of 2022 or 2021.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had no allowance allocated to TDRs and no commitments to lend additional amounts in connection with loans that were classified as TDRs.

There were no TDRs for which there was a payment default during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 that were modified during the 12-month period prior to default. A loan is in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Risk Characteristics. Credit risk within the Bank’s loan portfolio primarily stems from factors such as changes in the borrower’s financial condition, credit concentrations, changes in collateral values, economic conditions including those arising from the pandemic, rent regulation and environmental contamination of properties securing mortgage loans. The Bank’s commercial loans, including those secured by real estate mortgages, are primarily made to small and medium-sized businesses. Such loans sometimes involve a higher degree of risk than those to larger companies because such businesses may have shorter operating histories, higher debt-to-equity ratios and may lack sophistication in internal record keeping and financial and operational controls. In addition, most of the Bank’s loans are made to businesses and consumers on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City (“NYC”), and a large percentage of these loans are mortgage loans secured by properties located in those areas. The primary sources of repayment for residential and commercial mortgage loans include employment and other income of the borrowers, the businesses of the borrowers and cash flows from the underlying properties. In the case of multifamily mortgage loans, a substantial portion of the underlying properties are rent stabilized or rent controlled. These sources of repayment are dependent on, among other things, the strength of the local economy.

Credit Quality Indicators. The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the borrower’s ability to service their debt including, but not limited to, current financial information for the borrower and any guarantors, payment experience, credit underwriting documentation, public records, due diligence checks and current economic trends. Management analyzes loans individually and classifies them using risk rating matrices consistent with regulatory guidance as follows.

Watch: The borrower’s cash flow has a high degree of variability and subject to economic downturns. Liquidity is strained and the ability of the borrower to access traditional sources of credit is diminished.

Special Mention: The borrower has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to risk sufficient to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard: Loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans have all the inherent weaknesses of those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Risk ratings on commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages are initially assigned during the underwriting process and affirmed as part of the approval process. The ratings are periodically reviewed and evaluated based on borrower contact, credit department review or independent loan review.

The Bank's loan risk rating and review policy establishes requirements for the annual review of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. The requirements include details of the scope of coverage and selection process based on loan-type and risk rating. The Bank reviews at least 80% of its commercial real estate portfolio on an annual basis. Lines of credit are also reviewed annually at each proposed reaffirmation. The frequency of the review of other loans is determined by minimum principal balance thresholds and the Bank’s ongoing assessments of the borrower’s condition.

Residential mortgage loans, revolving home equity lines and other consumer loans are initially evaluated utilizing the borrower’s credit score. A credit score is a tool used in the Bank’s loan approval process, and a minimum score of 680 is generally required for new loans. Credit scores for each borrower are updated at least annually. However, regardless of credit score, loans may be classified, criticized or placed on management’s watch list if relevant information comes to light.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs. The total cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

6 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value. When measuring fair value, the Corporation uses a fair value hierarchy, which is designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy involves three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of the Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are set forth in the table that follows. The fair values AFS securities are determined on a recurring basis using matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs). Matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities, does not rely exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather on the relationship of such securities to other benchmark quoted securities. Where no significant other observable inputs were available, Level 3 inputs were used. The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date resulting in a Level 2 classification.

State and municipal AFS securities measured using Level 3 inputs. The Bank held seven non-rated bond anticipation notes with a book value of $1.0 million at March 31, 2022. These bonds have a one year maturity and are issued by local municipalities that are customers of the Bank. Due to the short duration of the bonds, book value approximates fair value at March 31, 2022.

Premises and Facilities. Premises and facilities held-for-sale of $3.8 million are reported in the line item “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at lower of cost or fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time. Such estimates are generally subjective in nature and dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each financial instrument or group of similar financial instruments, including estimates of discount rates, liquidity, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows, and relevant available market information. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, fair value estimates do not reflect the value of anticipated future business, premiums or discounts that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, or the income tax consequences of realizing gains or losses on the sale of financial instruments.

The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the Corporation’s financial statements.



	Level of	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021

7 – DERIVATIVES

As part of its asset liability management activities, the Corporation utilizes an interest rate swap to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of an interest rate swap does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The exchange of cash flows is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the interest rate swap agreement.

The Bank entered into a five year interest rate swap with a notional amount totaling $50 million on January 17, 2019, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of certain Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances included in short term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets. The swap was determined to be fully effective during the periods presented and therefore no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The aggregate fair value of the swap is recorded in other liabilities, with changes in fair value net of related income taxes recorded in OCI. The amount included in accumulated OCI would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedge no longer be considered effective. The Corporation expects the hedge to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap.

The following table summarizes information about the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge.



	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
Notional amount	$50 million	$50 million
Weighted average fixed pay rate	2.62%	2.62%
Weighted average 3-month LIBOR receive rate	0.23%	0.13%
Weighted average maturity	1.80 Years	2.05 Years

Interest expense recorded on the swap transactions, which totaled $299,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is recorded as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Amounts reported in accumulated OCI related to swaps will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Bank’s variable-rate liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Corporation had $299,000 of reclassifications to interest expense. During the next 12 months, the Corporation estimates that $265,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The following table presents the net gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income relating to interest rate swaps.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features. The Bank’s agreement with its interest rate swap counterparty sets forth minimum collateral posting thresholds. If the termination value of the swap is a net asset position, the counterparty may be required to post collateral against its obligations to the Bank under the agreement. However, if the termination value of the swap is a net liability position, the Bank may be required to post collateral to the counterparty. At March 31, 2022, the Bank was in compliance with the collateral posting provisions of its counterparty. The total amount of collateral posted was approximately $3.5 million. If the Bank had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement at the termination value.

8 – IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The pronouncements discussed in this section are not intended to be an all-inclusive list, but rather only those pronouncements that could potentially have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-2 “Financial Instruments (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” which affect entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”). The amendments in the ASU that relate to TDRs eliminate the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and instead require than an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, while also enhancing disclosure requirements. The amendments that relate to vintage disclosures require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of CECL. Gross write-offs must be included in the vintage disclosures required by CECL. For entities that have adopted CECL such as the Corporation, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should generally be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments related to TDRs separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2022-2 will modify the Corporation’s disclosures but is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of The First of Long Island Corporation’s financial condition and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements. The Corporation’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island, and subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Bank, either directly or indirectly, FNY Service Corp., The First of Long Island REIT, Inc. and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the Corporation and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Bank. The Bank’s primary service area is Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island and the NYC boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Overview

Net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 were $12.1 million and $.52 respectively, compared to $11.3 million and $.47, respectively, for the same period last year. Dividends per share increased 5.3%, from $.19 for the first quarter of 2021 to $.20 for the current period. Returns on average assets (ROA) and average equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 2022 were 1.19% and 11.94%, respectively, compared to 1.11% and 11.17%, respectively, for the same period last year. Book value per share was $16.86 at the close of the current period, compared to $17.81 at year-end 2021.

Analysis of Earnings – Three Month Periods. Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $12.1 million, an increase of $816,000 versus the same quarter last year. The increase is due to growth in net interest income of $2.1 million and noninterest income, excluding $606,000 of gains on sales of securities in 2021, of $498,000, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $680,000. These items were partially offset by increases in the provision for credit losses of $1.4 million and income tax expense of $440,000.

The increase in net interest income reflects a favorable shift in the mix of funding as an increase in average checking deposits and a decline in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted in average checking deposits comprising a larger portion of total funding. Also contributing to the increase was a decline in interest expense in 2022 due to the maturity of a $150 million interest rate swap in May

2021 and reductions in rates paid on nonmaturity and time deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 28 basis points (“bps”) from the first quarter of 2021 to the current quarter. The increase in net interest income is also attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding, largely driven by commercial mortgage originations. Although the average balance of loans increased, the loan portfolio yield declined from 3.55% for the 2021 quarter to 3.47% for the current quarter mostly due to a decline in income from SBA PPP loans.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 2.90% as compared to 2.86% and 2.69% for the 2021 fourth and first quarters, respectively. Income on PPP loans improved net interest margin by 6 bps, 11 bps and 9 bps in those quarters, respectively. The current yield curve is favorable to net interest margin. The direction of the margin for the remainder of 2022 is largely dependent on changes in the yield curve and balance sheet mix as well as competitive conditions.

During the first quarter of 2022 we originated $261 million of loans with a weighted average rate of approximately 3.11% which includes $199 million of commercial mortgages at a weighted average rate of 3.13%. The mortgage loan pipeline was $175 million with a weighted average rate of 3.36% at March 31, 2022. While these rates are below the March 31, 2022 loan portfolio yield, current reinvestment rates for both the securities and loan portfolios are generally higher.

The provision for credit losses increased $1.4 million when comparing the first quarter periods of 2022 and 2021, from a credit of $986,000 in the 2021 quarter to a charge of $433,000 in the 2022 quarter. The provision for the current quarter was mainly due to an increase in outstanding mortgage loans partially offset by economic conditions and historical loss rates.

The increase in noninterest income, excluding $606,000 of gains on sales of securities in 2021, is primarily attributable to a final transition payment from LPL Financial for the conversion of the Bank’s retail broker and advisory accounts. The increase also includes higher fees from debit and credit cards and income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in investment services income as the shift to an outside service provider resulted in less assets under management.

The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to declines in salaries and benefits expense and occupancy and equipment expense, and a decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments. The decrease in salaries and benefits is mainly due to a decline in overtime pay and branch closures in 2021. These decreases were partially offset by salary and benefit costs of our new branch locations and hiring additional experienced banking professionals. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was due to lower rent, depreciation and maintenance and repair costs from the 2021 branch closures.

Income tax expense and the effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax book income) increased when comparing the first quarter of 2021 to the current quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate is mainly due to a decrease in the percentage of pre-tax income derived from tax-exempt assets in 2022. The increase in income tax expense reflects the higher effective tax rate and an increase in pre-tax earnings in the current quarter as compared to the 2021 quarter.

Asset Quality. The Bank’s allowance for credit losses to total loans (reserve coverage ratio) was .94% at March 31, 2022 as compared to .96% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the reserve coverage ratio was mainly due to economic conditions and historical loss rates. Nonaccrual loans, TDRs and loans past due 30 through 89 days remain at low levels.

Key Initiatives. We continue focusing on strategic initiatives supporting the growth of our balance sheet and a profitable relationship banking business. Such initiatives include improving the quality of technology through continuing digital enhancements, optimizing our branch network across a larger geography, using new branding and “CommunityFirst” focus to improve name recognition, enhancing our website and social media presence including the promotion of FirstInvestments, and ongoing recruitment of additional experienced banking professionals to support our growth and technology initiatives. We also continue to focus on the areas of cybersecurity, environmental, social and governance practices. The Bank began occupying its leased space at 275 Broadhollow Road in Melville, N.Y. in April 2022. The consolidation of back-office staff into this one facility will produce a more collaborative work environment and strengthened culture.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $28.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 7.7%, from $26.5 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in net interest income reflects a favorable shift in the mix of funding as an increase in average checking deposits of $172.5 million, or 13.9%, and a decline in average interest-bearing liabilities of $144.4 million, or 6.0%, resulted in average checking deposits comprising a larger portion of total funding. Also contributing to the increase was a decline in interest expense of $1.1 million in 2022 due to the maturity of a $150 million interest rate swap in May 2021 and reductions in the rates paid on nonmaturity and time deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 28 bps from .82% for the first quarter of 2021 to .54% for the current quarter. The increase in net interest income is also attributable to an increase of $147 million in average loans outstanding to $3.2 billion at March 31, 2022, largely driven by commercial mortgage originations. Although the average balance of loans increased, the loan portfolio yield declined from 3.55% for the 2021 quarter to 3.47% for the current quarter due to a decline in income from SBA PPP loans of $1.2 million which reduced the portfolio yield by 8 bps. PPP income for the current quarter was $743,000 for a weighted average yield of 14.8% and contributed 8 bps to the current quarters loan portfolio yield of 3.47%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes BOLI, service charges on deposit accounts, gains or losses on sales of securities, and all other items of income, other than interest, resulting from the business activities of the Corporation.

The increase in noninterest income of $498,000, excluding $606,000 of gains on sales of securities in 2021, is primarily attributable to a final transition payment of $477,000 from LPL Financial for the conversion of the Bank’s retail broker and advisory accounts. The increase also includes higher fees from debit and credit cards of $199,000 and income from BOLI of $163,000. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in investment services income of $323,000 as the shift to an outside service provider resulted in less assets under management.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense is comprised of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expenses incurred in supporting the various business activities of the Corporation.

The decrease in noninterest expense of $680,000 was primarily due to declines in salaries and benefits expense of $315,000 and occupancy and equipment expense of $326,000, and a decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments. The decrease in salaries and benefits is mainly due to a decline in overtime pay and branch closures in 2021. These decreases were partially offset by salary and benefit costs of our new branch locations and hiring additional experienced banking professionals. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was due to lower rent, depreciation and maintenance and repair costs from the 2021 branch closures.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $440,000 and the effective tax rate increased from 19.4% to 20.6% when comparing the first quarter of 2021 to the current quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate is mainly due to a decrease in the percentage of pre-tax income derived from tax-exempt assets in 2022. The increase in income tax expense reflects the higher effective tax rate and an increase in pre-tax earnings in the current quarter as compared to the 2021 quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts. Our determination of the ACL is a critical accounting estimate because it is based on our subjective evaluation of a variety of factors at a specific point in time and involves difficult and complex judgements about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that management’s estimate needs to be adjusted based on additional information that comes to light after the estimate is made or changes in circumstances, such adjustment could result in the need for a significantly different ACL and thereby materially impact, either positively or negatively, the Bank’s results of operations.

The Bank’s Allowance for Credit Losses Committee (“ACL Committee”), which is a management committee chaired by the Chief Credit Officer, meets on a quarterly basis and is responsible for determining the ACL after considering the results of credit reviews performed by the Bank’s independent loan review consultants and the Bank’s credit department. In addition, and in consultation with the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer, the ACL Committee is responsible for implementing and maintaining accounting policies and procedures surrounding the calculation of the required allowance. The Loan Committee reviews and approves the Bank’s Loan Policy at least once each calendar year. The Bank’s ACL is reviewed and ratified by the Loan Committee on a quarterly basis and is subject to periodic examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), whose safety and soundness examination includes a determination as to the adequacy of the allowance to absorb current expected credit losses.

The ACL is a valuation amount that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the Bank’s loan portfolio. The allowance is established through provisions for credit losses charged against income. When available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible, these amounts are charged against the ACL, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loss information from the Bank’s own loan portfolio has been compiled since December 31, 2007 and generally provides a starting point for management’s assessment of expected credit losses. A historical look-back period that begins in 2007 covers an entire economic cycle and impacts the average historical loss rates used to calculate the final ACL. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level or term as well as for current and potential future changes in economic conditions over a one year to two year forecasting horizon, such as unemployment rates, GDP, vacancy rates or other relevant factors. The immediate reversion method is applied for periods beyond the forecasting horizon. The ACL is an amount that management currently believes will be adequate to absorb expected lifetime losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. The process for estimating credit losses and determining the ACL as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates and judgements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Management segregates its loan portfolio into eleven distinct pools: (1) commercial and industrial; (2) small business credit scored; (3) multifamily; (4) owner-occupied; (5) other commercial real estate; (6) construction and land development; (7) residential mortgage; (8) revolving home equity; (9) consumer; (10) municipal loans; and (11) SBA PPP loans. The vintage method is applied to measure the historical loss component of lifetime credit losses inherent in most of its loan pools. For the revolving home equity and small business credit scored pools, the PD/LGD method is used to measure historical losses; no historical loss method was applied to the SBA PPP loan pool. Management believes that the methods selected fairly reflect the historical loss component of expected losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. However, since future losses could vary significantly from those experienced in the past, on a quarterly basis management adjusts its historical loss experience to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In doing so, management considers a variety of general

qualitative and quantitative factors and then subjectively determines the weight to assign to each in estimating losses. The factors include: (1) changes in lending policies and procedures; (2) experience, ability and depth of lending staff; (3) trends in the nature and volume of loans; (4) changes in the quality of the loan review function; (5) delinquencies; (6) environmental risks; (7) current and forecasted economic conditions as judged by things such as national and local unemployment levels and GDP; (8) changes in the value of underlying collateral as judged by things such as median home prices and forecasted vacancy rates in the Bank’s service area; and (9) direction and magnitude of changes in the economy. The Bank’s ACL allocable to its loan pools results primarily from these Q-factor adjustments to historical loss experience with the largest sensitivity of the ACL and provision arising from loan growth and concentrations, credit quality and forecasts of unemployment, GDP, vacancies and economic conditions. Because of the nature of the Q-factors and the difficulty in assessing their impact, management’s resulting estimate of losses may not accurately reflect lifetime losses in the portfolio.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Such disparate risk characteristics may include internal or external credit ratings, risk ratings, collateral type, size of loan, effective interest rate, term, geographic location, industry or historical or expected loss pattern. Estimated losses for loans individually evaluated are based on either the fair value of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. For all collateral dependent loans evaluated on an individual basis, credit losses are measured based on the fair value of the collateral. In estimating the fair value of real estate collateral, management utilizes appraisals or evaluations adjusted for costs to dispose and a distressed sale adjustment, if needed. Estimating the fair value of collateral other than real estate is also subjective in nature and sometimes requires difficult and complex judgements. Determining expected future cash flows can be more subjective than determining fair values. Expected future cash flows could differ significantly, both in timing and amount, from the cash flows received over the loan’s remaining life. Individually evaluated loans are not included in the estimation of credit losses from the pooled portfolio.

TDRs are individually evaluated for loss and generally reported at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. However, if a TDR is a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported at the fair value of the collateral.

Asset Quality

Information about the Corporation’s risk elements is set forth below. Risk elements include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, loans that are contractually past due 30 days or more and TDRs, and present more than the normal risk that the Corporation will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses

The ACL is established through provisions for credit losses charged against income. When available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible, these amounts are charged off against the ACL, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL.

The ACL increased $456,000 during the first quarter of 2022, amounting to $30.3 million, or .94% of total loans, at March 31, 2022 compared to $29.8 million, or .96% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the Bank had loan chargeoffs of $4,000, recoveries of $27,000 and recorded a provision of $433,000. During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank had loan chargeoffs of $550,000, recoveries of $103,000 and recorded a credit provision of $986,000. The provision in the current period was mainly due to portfolio growth, partially offset by economic conditions, asset quality and other portfolio metrics. The credit provision in the 2021 period was mainly due to improvements in economic conditions, asset quality and other portfolio metrics and a decline in outstanding residential mortgage loans, partially offset by net chargeoffs.

The ACL is an amount that management currently believes will be adequate to absorb expected lifetime losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. As more fully discussed in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” the process for estimating credit losses and determining the ACL as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates and judgements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Other detailed information on the Bank’s loan portfolio and ACL can be found in “Note 4 – Loans” to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

The amount of future chargeoffs and provisions for credit losses will be affected by economic conditions on Long Island and in the boroughs of NYC. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of the Bank’s borrowers and will affect the value of real estate collateral securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 96% of the Bank’s total loans outstanding at March 31, 2022. The majority of these loans are collateralized by properties located on Long Island and in the boroughs of NYC. While business activity in the New York metropolitan area has started to improve, the pace of the recovery is slow and remains uncertain. These challenges may result in higher drawdowns by customers on the Bank’s lending commitments and higher past due and nonaccrual loans, TDRs and credit losses.

Future provisions and chargeoffs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. At the present time, management is not aware of any environmental pollution originating on or near properties securing the Bank’s loans that would materially affect the carrying value of such loans.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash Flows. The Corporation’s primary sources of cash are deposits, maturities and amortization of loans and investment securities, operations and borrowings. The Corporation uses cash from these and other sources to fund loan growth, purchase investment securities, repay borrowings, expand and improve its physical facilities, pay cash dividends, repurchase its common stock and for general corporate purposes.

The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalent position at March 31, 2022 was $85.8 million, up from $43.7 million at December 31, 2021. The increase occurred primarily because cash provided by deposit growth, paydowns or repayments of securities and loans and operations exceeded cash used to repay borrowings, purchase securities, repurchase common stock and pay cash dividends.

Securities decreased $51.3 million during the first quarter of 2022, from $734.3 million at year-end 2021 to $683.0 million at March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to maturities and redemptions of $14.1 million and unrealized losses of $41.6 million during the period, partially offset by purchases of $4.7 million.

During the first three months of 2022, total deposits grew $230.1 million, or 6.9%, to $3.5 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to growth in checking deposits of $78.8 million, savings, NOW and money market deposits of $51.4 million and time deposits of $99.9 million. The increase in time deposits was due to the purchase of brokered CDs totaling $105 million.

Liquidity. The Bank has a board committee approved liquidity policy and liquidity contingency plan, which are intended to ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity at all times to meet the ongoing needs of its customers in terms of credit and deposit outflows, take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities and respond to liquidity stress conditions should they arise.

The Bank has both internal and external sources of liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The Bank’s primary internal sources of liquidity are overnight investments, maturities and monthly payments on its investment securities and loan portfolios, operations and investment securities designated as AFS. At March 31, 2022, the Bank had approximately $181.1 million of unencumbered AFS securities.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of New York and the FHLB of New York and has a federal funds line with a commercial bank. In addition to customer deposits, the Bank’s primary external sources of liquidity are secured borrowings from the FRB of New York and FHLB of New York. In addition, the Bank can draw funds under its existing line and the Corporation can raise funds through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. However, the Bank’s FRB of New York membership, FHLB of New York membership and unsecured line do not represent legal commitments to extend credit to the Bank. The amount that the Bank can potentially borrow is currently dependent on the amount of unencumbered eligible securities and loans that the Bank can use as collateral and the collateral margins required by the lenders. Based on the Bank’s unencumbered securities and loan collateral, a substantial portion

of which is in place at the FRB of New York and FHLB of New York, the Bank had a borrowing capacity of approximately $1.9 billion at March 31, 2022.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity was $389.5 million at March 31, 2022 versus $413.8 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to net unrealized losses of $28.8 million on the Bank’s AFS investment securities, cash dividends declared of $4.6 million and common stock repurchases of $4.5 million, partially offset by net income of $12.1 million. The net unrealized losses of $28.8 million on the AFS investment securities portfolio were due to an increase in interest rates during the quarter. The fair value of the AFS investment securities portfolio is expected to continue to decline with further increases in interest rates.

The Corporation and the Bank have elected to adopt the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework, which requires a leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%. As a qualifying community banking organization, the Corporation and the Bank may opt out of the CBLR framework in any subsequent quarter by completing its regulatory agency reporting using the traditional capital rules.

The Corporation’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory standards and appropriately provide for growth. The Leverage Ratios of the Corporation and the Bank at March 31, 2022 were 10.15% and 9.96%, respectively, and satisfy the well capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The Corporation and the Bank elected the optional five-year transition period provided by the federal banking agencies for recognizing the regulatory capital impact of the implementation of CECL.

The Corporation has a stock repurchase program under which it is authorized to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or in any other manner that is compliant with applicable securities laws. During the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation repurchased 202,886 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $4.5 million. The Corporation can repurchase another $28.4 million under Board approved repurchase programs. We expect to continue our repurchase program during the remainder of 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Bank invests in interest-earning assets, which are funded by interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, noninterest-bearing deposits and capital. The Bank’s results of operations are subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations generally and having assets and liabilities that have different maturity, repricing and prepayment/withdrawal characteristics. The Bank defines interest rate risk as the risk that the Bank's net interest income and/or economic value of equity (“EVE”) will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of the Bank’s asset liability management activities is to optimize current and future net interest income while at the same time maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitate the funding needs of the Bank.

The Bank monitors and manages interest rate risk through a variety of techniques including traditional gap analysis and the use of interest rate sensitivity models. Both gap analysis and interest rate sensitivity modeling involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions and are done at a specific point in time. Changes in the estimates and assumptions made in gap analysis and interest rate sensitivity modeling could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the actual impact of changes in the interest rate environment on the Bank’s net interest income or EVE.

Through the use of interest rate sensitivity modeling, the Bank projects net interest income over a five-year period assuming a static balance sheet and no changes in interest rates from current levels. Utilization of a static balance sheet ensures that interest rate risk embedded in the Bank’s current balance sheet is not masked by assumed balance sheet growth or contraction. Net interest income is projected over a five-year time period utilizing various interest rate change scenarios, including both ramped and shocked changes as well as changes in the shape of the yield curve. The interest rate scenarios modeled are based on the shape of the current yield curve and the relative level of rates and management’s expectations as to potential future yield curve shapes and rate levels.

The Bank also uses interest rate sensitivity modeling to calculate EVE in the current rate environment assuming shock increases and decreases in interest rates. EVE is the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows from the Bank’s assets and the present value of the expected future cash flows from the Bank’s liabilities. Present values are determined using discount rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions. EVE can capture long-term interest rate risk that would not be captured in a five-year projection of net interest income.

In utilizing interest rate sensitivity modeling to project net interest income and calculate EVE, management makes a variety of estimates and assumptions which include the following: (1) how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will change in response to projected changes in market interest rates; (2) future cash flows, including prepayments of mortgage assets and calls of municipal securities; (3) cash flow reinvestment assumptions; (4) appropriate discount rates to be applied to loan, deposit and borrowing cash flows; and (5) decay or runoff rates for nonmaturity deposits such as checking, savings, NOW and money market accounts. The repricing of loans and borrowings and the reinvestment of loan and security cash flows are generally assumed to be impacted by the full amount of each assumed rate change, while the repricing of nonmaturity deposits is not.

For nonmaturity deposits, management makes estimates of how much and when it will need to change the rates paid on the Bank’s various nonmaturity deposit products in response to changes in general market interest rates. These estimates are based on product type, management’s experience with needed deposit rate adjustments in prior interest rate change cycles, the results of a nonmaturity deposit study conducted by an independent consultant and updated on a periodic basis and management’s assessment of competitive conditions in its marketplace.

The information provided in the following table is based on a variety of estimates and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, the more significant of which are set forth hereinafter. The base case information in the table shows: (1) a calculation of the Corporation’s EVE at March 31, 2022 arrived at by discounting estimated future cash flows at rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions; and (2) an estimate of net interest income for the year ending March 31, 2023 assuming a static balance sheet, the adjustment of repricing balances to current rate levels, and the reinvestment at current rate levels of cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities in a mix of assets and liabilities that is intended to substantially reflect the Bank’s strategic plan. In addition, in calculating EVE, cash flows for nonmaturity deposits are assumed to have an overall life of 6.1 years based on the current mix of such deposits and the most recently updated nonmaturity deposit study.

The rate change information in the following table shows estimates of net interest income for the year ending March 31, 2023 and calculations of EVE at March 31, 2022 assuming rate changes of plus 100, 200 and 300 bps and minus 100 bps. The rate change scenarios were selected based on current interest rates and: (1) are assumed to be shock or immediate changes for both EVE and net interest income; (2) occur uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities; and (3) impact the repricing and reinvestment of all assets and liabilities, except nonmaturity deposits, by the full amount of the rate change. In projecting future net interest income under the indicated rate change scenarios, activity is simulated by assuming that cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities are reinvested in a mix of assets and liabilities that is intended to substantially reflect the Bank’s strategic plan. The changes in EVE from the base case have not been tax affected.



	Economic Value of Equity			Net Interest Income for
	at March 31, 2022			Year Ending March 31, 2023
			Percent Change			Percent Change
			From			From
Rate Change Scenario (dollars in thousands)	Amount		Base Case	Amount		Base Case
+ 300 basis point rate shock	$	695,419	-10.4%	$	107,361	-7.1%
+ 200 basis point rate shock		725,248	-6.5%		110,175	-4.7%
+ 100 basis point rate shock		757,768	-2.3%		113,220	-2.0%
Base case (no rate change)		775,743	—		115,559	—
- 100 basis point rate shock		735,498	-5.2%		111,264	-3.7%

As shown in the preceding table, assuming a static balance sheet, an immediate increase in interest rates of 100, 200 or 300 bps could negatively impact the Bank’s net interest income for the year ended March 31, 2023 because the Bank might need to increase the rates paid on its nonmaturity deposits to remain competitive and any long-term borrowings that mature would reprice at a higher interest rate. In addition, the Bank’s securities portfolio, excluding corporate bonds, and a significant portion of its loan portfolio does not immediately reprice with changes in market rates. An immediate decrease in interest rates of 100 bps could also negatively impact the Bank’s net interest income and EVE for the same time period due to the inability to reduce interest rates on deposit accounts below zero. Changes in management’s estimates as to the rates that will need to be paid on nonmaturity deposits could have a significant impact on the net interest income amounts shown for each scenario in the table.
