About this update from Flushing Financial Corporation
[{"type":"text","content":""Flushing Financial's fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results underscore the strength and resilience of our franchise. Net interest margin expanded 4 basis points to 2.68%, with Core NIM reaching 2.66%, driven by favorable deposit mix and declining funding costs. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased 12% year-over-year to 13% of total deposits, providing a stable, low-cost funding base. Our tangible common equity ratio improved to 8.14%, up 32 basis points from a year ago, while our CRE concentration declined to 465% from 522% a year earlier, reflecting our strategic capital and balance sheet management. With a loan pipeline of $276 million and liquidity of $3.9 billion at December 31, 2025, we are well-positioned to serve our customers and deploy capital prudently. We remain committed to serving our customers and executing on our priorities with excellence. We look forward to the Company's transformation due to the announced merger with OceanFirst Financial Corp. and the opportunities the combination will create."","length":1059,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"- John R.
