KRNY - Kearny Financial Corp. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results and Declaration of Cash Dividend
FAIRFIELD, N.J., April 27, 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 March 31, 2023 of $10.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Net income for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was impacted by various non-recurring items, as described in further detail below.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on May 24, 2023 to stockholders of record as of May 10, 2023.
Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While my comments in recent quarters have featured the terms ‘risk’ and ‘uncertainty’, the past few weeks have brought fresh challenges to the banking sector, and the economy at large. Despite the sudden failure of two large regional banks, the voluntary wind-down of a third and pressure on the industry as a whole, I am pleased to report that Kearny remains on solid footing. Our highly-diversified deposit base, conservative risk culture and abundance of available liquidity allows us to navigate these uncertain times, as we have throughout our 139 years in operation.”
Mr. Montanaro further noted, “Looking to this quarter’s earnings, the rate of our net interest margin compression has begun to slow, while our previously announced operating efficiency initiative has gotten off to a strong start. Non-interest expense, excluding non-recurring items, declined 7.3% quarter-over-quarter and will be further supported by the June 2023 consolidation of two branch locations.”
Liquidity & Funding
- Deposits decreased $168.0 million, or 2.8%, to $5.80 billion at March 31, 2023, from $5.97 billion at December 31, 2022. Details regarding the change in deposit balances are presented in the table below. The decrease in deposits was largely concentrated in three products: consumer savings, commercial non-interest checking and government deposits. The decline in consumer savings reflected the continuation of a multi-quarter trend resulting from the migration of low-rate savings balances into higher-rate money market and time deposit products. The reduction in non-interest checking deposits was a combination of outflow and the migration of non-interest bearing commercial deposits into interest-bearing products. The decrease in government deposits was largely attributable to seasonal outflows resulting from expected tax and pension payments.

- The aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $1.68 billion at March 31, 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 $705.7 million, or 12.2% of total deposits.
- Borrowings increased $228.1 million to $1.61 billion, or 19.3% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, from $1.38 billion, or 16.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, borrowings were comprised of $1.54 billion of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and $70.0 million from unsecured fed funds lines of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding from the Federal Reserve Bank at, or during the quarter ended, March 31, 2023.
- At March 31, 2023, the Company maintained available secured borrowing capacity of $2.37 billion, of which $1.88 billion was immediately accessible via in-place collateral and $493.2 million represented the market value of unpledged securities.
Assets
- Total assets increased $60.0 million, or 0.7%, to $8.35 billion at March 31, 2023, from $8.29 billion at December 31, 2022.
- Cash and cash equivalents increased $118.9 million, or 157.2%, to $194.6 million at March 31, 2023, from $75.7 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by the Company’s decision to hold excess cash on its balance sheet due to external market conditions.
- Loans receivable decreased $17.8 million, or 0.3%, to $5.97 billion at March 31, 2023, from $5.98 billion at December 31, 2022.
- Investment securities decreased $23.3 million to $1.42 billion, or 17.0% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, from $1.44 billion, or 17.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by paydowns, partially offset by a $9.7 million improvement in unrealized losses on securities available for sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Earnings
Performance Highlights
- Return on average assets was 0.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.10% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
- Return on average equity was 4.69% and 0.90% for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Return on average tangible equity was 6.20% and 1.20% for those same comparative periods.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
- Net interest margin contracted 18 basis points to 2.20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, from 2.38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Excluding purchase accounting accretion and loan prepayment penalty income, net interest margin contracted 11 basis points.
- Net interest income decreased $2.4 million to $42.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, from $44.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $711,000 and $1.9 million, and loan prepayment penalty income of $103,000 and $166,000.
Non-Interest Income
- Non-interest income increased $10.1 million to income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, from a loss of $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a loss of $15.2 million on the sale of securities during the prior comparative period.
- Loss on sale of loans was $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to a gain on sale of loans of $134,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The loss in the current period was the result of the sale of a non-performing multi-family mortgage loan held-for-sale located in Queens, NY. The loan was acquired in 2018 and had been classified as held-for-sale since June 30, 2022.
- Other income decreased $2.7 million to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a non-recurring gain of $2.9 million attributable to the sale of a former branch location recognized during the prior comparative period.
Non-Interest Expense
- Non-interest expense decreased $2.3 million to $30.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, from $32.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Excluding $800,000 of branch consolidation expense, of which $250,000 was recorded in occupancy expense and $550,000 was recorded in other expense, non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $29.6 million.
- Salaries and benefits expense decreased $1.9 million to $18.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was driven by lower salary expense as a result of reduced headcount and a decrease in incentive payments tied to loan origination volume.
- The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 68.96% and 1.47%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as compared to 89.93% and 1.62%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Income Taxes
- Income tax expense totaled $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $33,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.0% and 1.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate, for the prior comparative period, was impacted by the loss on the sale of securities.
Asset Quality
- The balance of non-performing assets decreased $5.2 million to $57.4 million, or 0.69% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, from $62.6 million, or 0.76% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily attributable to the sale of a non-performing multi-family mortgage loan held-for-sale, as previously noted.
- Net charge-offs totaled $206,000, or 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $407,000, or 0.03% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
- For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $451,000, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was largely driven by a slower prepayment rate assumption, partially offset by a net reduction in reserves on loans individually analyzed for impairment.
- The allowance for credit losses was $49.1 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at March 31, 2023, compared to $48.9 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2022.
Capital
- For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, book value per share increased $0.04, or 0.3%, to $12.99 and tangible book value per share increased $0.01, or 0.1%, to $9.79.
- During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 698,286 shares of common stock at a cost of $6.6 million, or $9.50 per share.
- At March 31, 2023, total stockholders’ equity included after-tax net unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $100.4 million, partially offset by after-tax unrealized gains on derivatives of $27.5 million. Pre-tax net unrecognized losses on securities held to maturity of $13.6 million were not reflected in total stockholders’ equity.
- At March 31, 2023, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 8.02% 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.
