About this update from Flushing Financial Corporation
[{"type":"text","content":"\"Our second quarter results reflect the continued successful execution of our strategic priorities, building upon the foundational actions we took in the preceding quarters. We are pleased to report another quarter of net interest margin expansion, with both GAAP and Core NIM increasing, which speaks to the effectiveness of our balance sheet repositioning and disciplined approach to funding costs. Particularly encouraging is the strong year-over-year growth in our average noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased 6.4%, further bolstering our funding base. While we remain mindful of the persistent economic uncertainties, our focus on maintaining strong liquidity and capital has resulted in a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio of 8.04%, a significant improvement from the prior year. The deliberate actions taken in late 2024 and early 2025 are yielding the anticipated benefits, enhancing our profitability and strengthening our financial position. As we look to the second half of the year, we will maintain our disciplined underwriting standards and proactive risk management, ensuring we are well-positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and continue to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.\"- John R.

Average loans decreased 1.0% YoY but increased 0.1% QoQ, due to maintaining pricing and quality standards. Adherence to these standards, the Bank's CRE concentration declined to 493% at June 30, 2025, compared to 522% a year ago and 511% at the prior quarter end. Average deposits increased 5.7% YoY and 0.6% QoQ. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased 6.4% YoY and 2.4% QoQ. GAAP and Core pre-provision pre-tax net revenue increased 191.1% and 134.5% YoY to their highest quarterly level sinc...
