KRNY - Kearny Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results and Declaration of Cash Dividend

FAIRFIELD, N.J., Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2023 of $9.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on November 22, 2023, to stockholders of record as of November 8, 2023.

Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the face of ongoing industry-wide macro-economic headwinds we continue to execute strategies to mitigate risk, manage our operating expenses and support the long-term franchise value of the Company. To that end, this quarter we de-levered our balance sheet by an additional $90 million, meaningfully slowed net interest margin compression and continued to focus on building high-value loan and deposit relationships. To further support these efforts we have formed a new Corporate Banking division under the executive leadership of our Chief Banking Officer, Anthony Bilotta. This division has been staffed with seasoned banking professionals whose sole focus is the origination of stable, long-term, non-interest-bearing deposits of corporate clients.”

Mr. Montanaro continued, “I am further pleased to announce that, subsequent to quarter end, we launched our enhanced digital banking platform, which expands our client-facing online and mobile capabilities while providing a state-of-the-art user experience. Our continued focus on digital engagement complements our high-touch, personalized service model and allows us to expand our brand into new markets in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”

Balance Sheet

  • Total assets were $7.97 billion at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $89.9 million, or 1.1%, from June 30, 2023.
  • Investment securities totaled $1.36 billion at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 1.1%, from June 30, 2023.
  • Loans receivable totaled $5.74 billion at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $93.4 million, or 1.6%, from June 30, 2023. The decrease for the quarter was largely driven by decreases in multi-family and nonresidential mortgage loans.
  • Deposits were $5.43 billion at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $195.0 million, or 3.5%, from June 30, 2023. The decrease in deposits was largely concentrated in retail and brokered certificates of deposits and consumer savings.
  • The aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $1.73 billion at September 30, 2023. Excluding collateralized deposits of state and local governments and deposits of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary and holding company, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $683.3 million, or 12.6% of total deposits.
  • Borrowings were $1.63 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $120.1 million, or 8.0%, from June 30, 2023. The increase in borrowings was driven by an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and resulted from the deposit decline previously disclosed.
  • At September 30, 2023, the Company maintained available secured borrowing capacity of $2.09 billion, of which $1.65 billion was immediately accessible via in-place collateral and $444.3 million represented the market value of unpledged securities.

Earnings

Performance Highlights

  • Return on average assets was 0.49% and 0.59% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Return on average equity was 4.57% and 5.58% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Return on average tangible equity was 6.07% and 7.41% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

  • Net interest margin contracted one basis point to 2.10% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease for the quarter was driven by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets, largely offset by a higher average yield on interest-earning assets.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net interest income decreased $1.0 million to $39.2 million from $40.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $650,000 and $887,000, and loan prepayment penalty income of $267,000 and $185,000.

Non-Interest Income

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income increased $344,000 from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $4.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher income from the investment services division and the impact of a loss on the sale of real estate during the prior comparative period.

Non-Interest Expense

  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 3.5%, to $29.8 million from $28.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a $446,000 increase in compensation expense and a $205,000 increase in real estate owned expenses, partially offset by a $104,000 decrease in occupancy expense attributable to our previously announced branch closures.
  • Equipment and systems expense increased $290,000 from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 due to a non-recurring vendor expense credit that was recorded in the prior comparative period.
  • The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 68.97% and 1.49%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 65.60% and 1.41%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Income Taxes

  • Income tax expense totaled $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2% and 21.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was elevated due to the discrete tax cost associated with the vesting of certain stock-based compensation awards.

Asset Quality

  • The balance of non-performing assets decreased $4.7 million to $50.9 million, or 0.64% of total assets, at September 30, 2023, from $55.6 million, or 0.69% of total assets, at June 30, 2023.
  • Net charge-offs totaled $2.1 million, or 0.15% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $82,000, or 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. All of the charge-offs recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 had previously been individually reserved for within the allowance for credit losses.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $245,000, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $306,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit loss expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was largely driven by an increase in reserves on individually analyzed loans and a slower prepayment rate assumption, partially offset by a decrease in the balance of loans receivable.
  • The allowance for credit losses was $46.9 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at September 30, 2023, compared to $48.7 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at June 30, 2023.

Capital

  • During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 817,607 shares of common stock at a cost of $6.4 million, or $7.84 per share.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, book value per share decreased $0.16, or 1.2%, to $13.04 while tangible book value per share decreased $0.19, or 1.9%, to $9.77. These decreases were largely driven by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
  • At September 30, 2023, total stockholders’ equity included after-tax net unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $131.4 million, partially offset by after-tax unrealized gains on derivatives of $44.8 million. After-tax net unrecognized losses on securities held to maturity of $14.7 million were not reflected in total stockholders’ equity.
  • At September 30, 2023, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 8.20% 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.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (as reported) and non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures provide additional information which allow readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders.
