Kearny Financial Corp. (NASDAQ GS: KRNY) (the “Company”), the holding company of Kearny Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of $16.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on November 23, 2022 to stockholders of record as of November 9, 2022.

Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite pressure on net interest margin, attributable to the rapidly rising interest rate environment, we delivered impressive results for the quarter. Growth in loans and deposits remained strong, expenses were well controlled and asset quality metrics notably improved. Over the past two quarters, our loan portfolio has grown at a 26% annualized rate, driven by strong origination volume and slowing prepayment activity. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2023, we expect loan growth to moderate, as we have right-sized our loan pipeline and are focusing our origination efforts on those loan segments which provide the greatest risk-adjusted returns.”

Mr. Montanaro further noted, “In recognition of the risks presented by the prevailing economic and interest rate environment we continue to position our balance sheet to support net interest income, and margin, in a variety of interest rate scenarios. To that end we have, since the start of this fiscal year, added $600 million of derivative notional and made targeted adjustments to our wholesale balance sheet designed to reduce risk and support future earnings.”

Earnings

Performance Highlights

  • Return on average assets was 0.85% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 0.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • Return on average equity was 7.38% and 4.92% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Return on average tangible equity was 9.70% and 6.40% for those same comparative periods.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

  • Net interest margin contracted 23 basis points to 2.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 2.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was due largely to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by increases in the average balance and yield on interest-earning assets.
  • Net interest income decreased $2.1 million to $48.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from $50.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, and loan prepayment penalty income of $441,000 and $869,000.

Non-Interest Income

  • Non-interest income increased $3.1 million to $5.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was largely attributable to higher income from bank owned life insurance that resulted from $2.1 million in payouts on life insurance policies.
  • Non-interest income included no gain or loss on the sale of securities for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $563,000 on the sale of securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Non-Interest Expense

  • Non-interest expense decreased $1.6 million to $32.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from $33.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to $1.0 million of non-recurring expenses recorded in the prior quarter.
  • The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, included in other expense, decreased $387,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
  • The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 58.75% and 1.65%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 62.93% and 1.79%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Income Taxes

  • Income tax expense totaled $5.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.1% and 27.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from the payouts on life insurance policies, noted above, which were not taxable.

Asset Quality

  • The balance of non-performing assets decreased $14.8 million to $77.4 million, or 0.98% of total assets, at September 30, 2022, from $92.2 million, or 1.19% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily attributable to the sale of two non-accrual loans that were recorded as held-for-sale at June 30, 2022.
  • Net charge-offs totaled $115,000, or 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.08% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $670,000, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was largely driven by loan growth of $238.5 million, partially offset by a reduction in the expected life of the loan portfolio.
  • The allowance for credit losses was $47.6 million, or 0.84% of total loans, at September 30, 2022, compared to $47.1 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2022.

Capital

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, book value per share decreased $0.14, or 1.1%, to $12.88 and tangible book value per share decreased $0.17, or 1.7%, to $9.73.
  • On August 1, 2022, the Company announced the authorization of a new stock repurchase plan, which authorized the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 shares. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 759,806 shares of common stock at a cost of $8.7 million, or $11.44 per share.
  • At September 30, 2022, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 8.61% and the regulatory capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank were in excess of the levels required by federal banking regulators to be classified as “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

These non-GAAP measures provide additional information which allow readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company.
