Kearny Financial Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year End 2022 Results and Declaration of Cash Dividend

KRNY

FAIRFIELD, N.J., July 28, 2022 (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 June 30, 2022 of $11.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $17.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net income and earnings per share for the quarter was largely attributable to a pre-tax increase of $8.1 million in provision for credit losses, as well as the recognition of a number of non-recurring expenses, as described in further detail below.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $67.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to $63.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on August 24, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 10, 2022.

Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very proud of our fiscal 2022 performance which reflected record net income and earnings per share, continued margin expansion and double-digit annual growth in loans and core deposits. In addition, late this fiscal year we introduced Kearny Investment Services, the Company’s investment management division, with the goal of further diversifying our product set and revenue streams. By fiscal year end, this division was fully staffed with financial advisors and was generating a monthly after-tax net profit, which we anticipate will support future growth in non-interest income.”

Mr. Montanaro further noted, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2023, our most critical initiative is the acceleration of our digital strategy, spearheaded by the adoption of a cloud-based, best-in-breed digital banking platform. Complementing this technology enhancement will be the expansion of our data analytics, artificial intelligence and digital marketing capabilities.” Mr. Montanaro continued, “We believe that our strategic focus on digital client engagement is the ideal complement to the exceptional service that our team provides within the communities where we maintain a physical presence. This omnichannel approach allows us to further strengthen our existing client relationships while expanding our products and services into new markets in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”

Earnings

Performance Highlights

  • Return on average assets was 0.61% and 0.98% for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and 0.93% and 0.86% for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • Return on average equity was 4.92% and 7.24% for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and 6.86% and 5.79% for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • Return on average tangible equity was 6.40% and 9.27% for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and 8.77% and 7.22% for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

  • Net interest margin expanded three basis points to 2.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 14 basis points to 2.94% for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase for the quarter was due largely to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable and an increase in the yield on taxable investment securities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of borrowings. The increase for the year was due largely to decreases in the cost and average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.
  • For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net interest income increased $2.9 million to $50.6 million from $47.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $1.6 million and $1.9 million, and loan prepayment penalty income of $869,000 and $1.3 million.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2022, net interest income increased $8.4 million to $196.6 million from $188.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2021. Included in net interest income for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $9.0 million and $16.6 million, and loan prepayment penalty income of $5.4 million and $3.7 million.

Non-Interest Income

  • Non-interest income decreased $381,000 to $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was largely attributable to a loss of $563,000 on the sale of securities.
  • Non-interest income decreased $7.1 million to $13.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, from $21.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was largely attributable to a decrease of $3.0 million in gain on sale of loans, as well as a bargain purchase gain of $3.1 million recognized in the prior year.
  • Included in other income for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2022 was $380,000 of income from the investment services division that began operations during the current quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

  • Non-interest expense increased $3.0 million to $33.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from $30.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was partially attributable to a $1.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits driven by higher loan origination-based incentive payments as a result of record-high quarterly loan origination volume. In addition, the Company recorded $1.0 million of non-recurring expense which consisted of $800,000 from the early termination of a contract with a service provider and an impairment of $200,000 related to an equity investment in a start-up financial technology company whose remaining book value was $0 at June 30, 2022.
  • Non-interest expense decreased $177,000 to $125.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, from $125.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was largely attributable to a decline in non-recurring expenses, as described in further detail below, and a decrease in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.5 million of branch consolidation expenses within occupancy expenses and $420,000 of impairment charges within other expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2021, $4.3 million of merger-related expenses, $2.0 million of branch consolidation expenses and impairment charges and $796,000 of debt extinguishment expenses were recorded.
  • The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, included in other expense, decreased $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2022.
  • Salaries and employee benefits increased $7.5 million, or 10.8%, for the year ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to staff additions, annual merit increases and an increase in incentive payments tied to record-high annual loan origination volume.
  • The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 62.93% and 1.79%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 60.14% and 1.70%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The efficiency and non-interest expense ratios were 59.71% and 1.73%, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 60.16% and 1.72%, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

  • Income tax expense totaled $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 27.0% and 26.9%, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2022, income tax expense was $24.8 million compared to $21.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2021, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.9% and 25.2% respectively.

Asset Quality

  • The balance of non-performing assets increased $11.2 million to $92.2 million, or 1.19% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, from $81.0 million, or 1.10% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. The balance of non-performing assets was $79.9 million, or 1.10% of total assets, at June 30, 2021. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily attributable to one relationship comprised of three individual loans located in Queens, NY which became non-performing during the quarter. Included in the balance of non-performing assets at June 30, 2022 was $21.7 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale.
  • Net charge-offs totaled $1.0 million, or 0.08% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $436,000, or 0.04% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2022, net charge-offs totaled $3.6 million, or 0.07% of average loans, compared to $1.6 million, or 0.03% of average loans, for the year ended June 30, 2021.
  • For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $4.2 million, compared to a provision for credit losses reversal of $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was driven by loan growth of $414.6 million in the quarter, coupled with a net increase in reserves on individually analyzed loans primarily related to lower collateral values for one relationship, as noted above. These increases to the provision were partially offset by both quantitative and qualitative improvements in the collectively evaluated loan portfolio. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded provision for credit losses reversals of $7.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
  • The allowance for credit losses was $47.1 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, compared to $43.9 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at March 31, 2022 and $58.2 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at June 30, 2021.

Capital

  • For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, book value per share decreased $0.35, or 2.6%, to $13.02 and tangible book value per share decreased $0.48, or 4.6%, to $9.90. For the year ended June 30, 2022, book value per share decreased $0.19, or 1.4%, to $13.02 and tangible book value per share decreased $0.59, or 5.6%, to $9.90. These decreases were largely driven by a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
  • During the quarter and year ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,754,575 and 10,221,525 shares of common stock at a cost of $33.6 million and $129.5 million, or $12.18 and $12.67 per share, respectively.
  • At June 30, 2022, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 9.1% 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.
