PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.1.     Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Service Corporation, FSB Properties Inc., and Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc.,which was dissolved as of June 30, 2021, which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company would not absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2021.

When necessary, certain reclassifications were made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation.

Such reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity and were insignificant amounts.

2.

2.     Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for loancredit losses, (“ALLL”), the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instrumentsinstruments.

OTTI losses on impaired securities must be fully recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost. However, even if an investor does not expect to sell a debt security in an unrealized loss position, the investor must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event that a credit loss has occurred, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) within Stockholders’ Equity. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, that are deemed to be temporary, are recorded in AOCL, net of tax.

The Company reviewed each investmentavailable for sale security that had an unrealized loss at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016. The unrealized losses in municipal securities held-to-maturity at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were caused by illiquidity in the market and movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in FNMA securities held-to-maturity at September 30, 2017 were caused by movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in securities available for sale at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were caused by movements in interest rates.

It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms.2021. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusionIf the Company evaluates any decline in the fair value due to credit loss factors and this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, then the present value of cash flows that is based upon consideringexpected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. All of these securities are rated investment grade or above and have a long history of no credit losses. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, noneinvestment.

In determining the risk of whichloss for available for sale securities, the Company believes would causeconsidered that mortgage-backed securities are either fully guaranteed or issued by a government sponsored enterprise, which has a credit rating and perceived credit risk comparable to U.S. government, the saletranche of the securities. Therefore,purchased collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and the issuer of Corporate securities are global systematically important banks. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. Based on this review, management believes that the unrealized losses have resulted from other factors not deemed credit-related and 0 allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impairedreviewed each held-to-maturity security that had an unrealized loss at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 as part of its quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) process, with an allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million and $0.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $0.1 million each at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is excluded from estimates of credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $2.5 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

5.     Loans

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled $33.5 million and $35.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was reported in “Interest and dividends receivable” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

At June 30, 2022, we had 5 active forbearances which were granted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of approximately $26.7 million resulting in total deferment of $1.6 million in principal, interest and escrow, down from 20 active forbearances for loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $71.9 million at December 31, 2021. These loans are considered current and continue to accrue interest at their original contractual terms until the completion of the applicable deferral periods, following which the borrowers will resume making payments and normal delinquency-based non-accrual policies will apply. The Company actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), under the CARES Act, closing $310.3 million of these loans since the beginning of the program, with $288.1 million forgiven by the SBA as of June 30, 2022, of which $21.0 million were forgiven during the recent quarter.

- 11 - Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is an estimate that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. Loans are charged off against that ACL when management believes that a loan balance is uncollectable based on quarterly analysis of credit risk.

The amount of the ACL is based upon a loss rate model that considers multiple factors which reflects management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses,

economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

The Company recognizes a loan as non-performing whenDuring the borrower has demonstrated the inability to bring the loan current, or due to other circumstances which, in management’s opinion, indicate the borrower will be unable to bring the loan current within a reasonable time. All loans classified as non-performing, which includes all loans past due 90 days or more, are classified as non-accrual unless there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future. Prior to a loan becoming 90 days delinquent, an updated appraisal is ordered and/or an internal evaluation is prepared.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information,three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. All non-accrual loans are considered impaired.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available. An unallocated component may at times be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. When necessary an unallocated component of the allowance will reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The allowance is established through charges to earnings in the form ofrecorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $1.5 million, compared to a benefit for credit losses on loans totaling $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $2.7 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by loan growth coupled with the ongoing environmental uncertainty resulting from high and rising inflation and increasing interest rates. The Company made no changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast period and decreased the reversion period from six quarters to four quarters at June 30, 2022, in order to revert back to our historical losses based on management’s evaluation ofsooner as the risk inherenteconomic forecast in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including historical loan loss experience (whichmodel is updated quarterly), current economic conditions, delinquency and non-accrual trends, classified loan levels, risk in the portfolio and volumes and trends in loan types, recent trends in charge-offs, changes in underwriting standards, experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lenders, collection policies and experience, internal loan review function and other external factors. Increases and decreases in the allowance othermore favorable than charge-offs and recoveries are included in the provision for loan losses. When a loan or a portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and local economic conditions and other factors. We review our loan portfolio by separate categories with similar risk and collateral characteristics. Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately.

The Company reviews each impaired loan on an individual basis to determine if either a charge-off or a valuation allowance needs to be allocated to the loan. The Company does not charge-off or allocate a valuation allowance to loans for which management has concluded the current value of the underlying collateral will allow for recovery of the loan balance either through the sale of the loan or by foreclosure and sale of the property.

conditions. The loan balances of collateral dependent impairedACL - loans aretotaled $39.4 million at June 30, 2022 compared to the property’s updated fair value. The Company considers fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off, except for taxi medallion loans. The 85% is based on the actual net proceeds the Bank has received from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) as a percentage of OREO’s appraised value. Taxi medallion loans with a loan-to-value greater than 100% are allocated a portion of the allowance for loan losses in the amount of the excess of the loan-to-value over the loan’s principal balance. The fair value of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the value of the underlying medallion based upon the most recently reported arm’s length transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. All taxi medallion loans are classified as impaired and allocated a portion of the allowance in the amount of the excess of the loan-to-value over the loan’s principal balance.

The Company segregated its loans into two portfolios based on year of origination. One portfolio was reviewed for loans originated after$37.1 million at December 31, 2009 and a second portfolio for2021. At June 30, 2022, the ACL - loans originated prior to January 1, 2010. Our decision to segregate the portfolio based upon origination dates was based on changes made in our underwriting standards during 2009. By the endrepresented 0.58% of 2009, all loans were being underwritten based on revised and tightened underwriting standards. Loans originated prior to 2010 have a higher delinquency rate and loss history. Each of the years in the portfolio for loans originated prior to 2010 has a similar delinquency rate. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

The Company evaluates the underlying collateral through a third party appraisal, or when a third party appraisal is not available, the Company will use an internal evaluation. The internal evaluations are prepared using an income approach or a sales approach. The income approach is used for income producing properties and uses current revenues less operating expenses to determine the net cash flow of the property. Once the net cash flow is determined, the value of the property is calculated using an appropriate capitalization rate for the property. The sales approach uses comparable sales prices in the market. When an internal evaluation is used, we place greater reliance on the income approach to value the collateral.

In preparing internal evaluations of property values, the Company seeks to obtain current data on the subject property from various sources, including: (1) the borrower; (2) copies of existing leases; (3) local real estate brokers and appraisers; (4) public records (such as for real estate taxes and water and sewer charges); (5) comparable sales and rental data in the market; (6) an inspection of the property and (7) interviews with tenants. These internal evaluations primarily focus on the income approach and comparable sales data to value the property.

As of September 30, 2017, we utilized recent third party appraisals of the collateral to measure impairment for $39.2 million, or 82.9%, of collateral dependent impairedgross loans and used internal evaluations141.1% of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2021, the property’s value for $8.1 million, or 17.1%,ACL - loans represented 0.56% of collateral dependent impairedgross loans and 248.7% of non-performing loans.

The Company may restructure a loanloans to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. This restructure may include reducing the interest rate or amount of the monthly payment for a specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert to the original terms of the loan. We classify these loans as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”).

These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance. The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. All loans classified as TDR are considered impaired,individually evaluated, however TDR loans which have been current for six consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are not included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-accrual performing TDR loans until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months.

These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance.

The allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan lossesACL for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR loan which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, there were no0 commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified to a TDR. The modification of loans to a TDR did not have a significant effect on our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation of the allowance for loan losses.ACL.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 2 commercial business and other loans classified as TDRs totaling $2.5 million defaulted within 12 months of its modification date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were 0 TDRs that defaulted within 12 months of its modification date.

We did not hold any foreclosed residential real estate properties at September 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, we held one foreclosed residential real estate property for $0.5 million. Included within net loans as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was a recorded investment of $8.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans”. If a loan does not fall within one of the previouspreviously mentioned categories and management believes weakness is evident then we designate the loan as “Watch”; all other loans would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that jeopardizesmay jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan as Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for LoanCredit Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

Included in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities selected for the fair value option is the accrued interest receivable or payable for the related instrument. The Company reports as interest income or interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the interest receivable or payable on the financial instruments selected for the fair value option at their respective contractual rates.

The borrowed funds had a contractual principal amount of $61.9 million at both SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016.2021. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of $0.2 million and $0.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively.

The Company generally holds its earning assets other than securities available for sale, to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change, and these amounts may not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does not require fair value information for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does not attempt to value future income or business. These items may be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value are required to be measured based on either: (1) quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level 1); (2) significant other observable inputs (Level 2); or (3) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level 1 – wherewhen quoted market prices are available in an active market. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and December 31, 2021, Level 1 included one mutual fund. At December 31, 2016, the Company did not value any of its assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 1.

Level 2 – when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, Level 2 included mortgage relatedmortgage-backed securities, CLOs, corporate debt, municipals, and interest rate swaps.

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and December 31, 2021, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned, and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. At December 31, 2016, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company and a single issuer trust preferred security.

The methods described above may produce fair values that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions, and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 20162021 are as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks, Overnight Interest-Earning Deposits and Federal Funds Sold:

The fair values of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value that approximates carrying value.

FHLB-NY stock:

The fair value is based upon the par value of the stock, which equals its carrying value.

Securities:

The fair values of securities are contained in Note 4 (“Securities”) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using discounted cash flows.

Loans held for sale:

The fair value of non-performing loans held for sale is estimated through a negotiated sales price.

Non-accrual Loans:

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities.

For non-accruing loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or, for collateral dependent loans, 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property, except for taxi medallion loans. The fair valueproperty. See Note 5 (“Loans”) of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the most recent reported arm’s length transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates.

Other Real Estate Owned:

OREO are carried at fair value less selling costs. The fair value is based on appraised value through a current appraisal, or sometimes through an internal review, additionally adjusted by the estimated costs to sell the property.

Accrued Interest Receivable:

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its short-term nature and is valued at the input level for its underlying financial asset.

Due to Depositors:

The fair values of demand, passbook savings, NOW, money market deposits and escrow deposits are, by definition, equalNotes to the amount payable on demand at the reporting dates (i.e. their carrying value). The fair value of certificates of deposits are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.Consolidated Financial Statements.

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

Borrowings:

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates in effect for borrowings with similar maturities and collateral requirements or using a market-standard model. The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was developed using a credit spread based on thestated spreads for recently issued subordinated debt issued byinstruments for issuers of similar asset size and credit quality of the Company and with similar durations adjusting for differences in the junior subordinated debt’s credit rating, liquidity, and time to maturity.

The fair values of commitments to sell, lend or borrow are estimated using the fees currently charged or paid to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle with the counterparties at the reporting date. For fixed-rate loan commitments to sell, lend or borrow, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates (where applicable). At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values of the above financial instruments approximate the recorded amounts of the related fees and were not considered to be material.

10.11.     Derivative Financial Instruments

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consistconsisted of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on a portion ($18.0 million) of its floating rate junior subordinated debentures that have a contractual value of $61.9 million, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016; 2) mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans totaling $279.5$289.2 million and $235.4$299.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $224.6 million of swaps outstanding,

which include $112.3 million with customers and $112.3 million with bank counterparties at June 30, 2022 and $228.0 million of swaps outstanding, which include $114.0 million with customers and $114.0 million with bank counterparties at December 31, 2021; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances and brokered deposits totaling $50.0$871.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

2022, and $996.5 at December 31, 2021.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and December 31, 2021, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges. At December 31, 2016, we held fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $36.3$224.6 million and $228.0 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $261.2$289.2 million and $217.1$299.6 million, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and December 31, 2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $50.0$871.5 million and $996.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative isare reported in AOCL,accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, but the ineffective portion of changestax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the fair valuesame period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, $2.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of the derivativeaccumulated other comprehensive loss is recognized directly in earnings. $5.7 million.

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net gain/lossgain (loss) from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

13.Regulatory Capital

Under current capital regulations, the Bank is required to comply with four separate capital adequacy standards.standards and a Capital Conservation Buffer (“CCB”). As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the Bank continues to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations and continues to exceed all regulatory capital requirements. In 2016, a Capital Conservation Buffer (“CCB”) requirement became effective for banks. The CCB is designed to establish a capital range above minimum capital requirements and impose constraints on dividends, share buybacks and discretionary bonus payments when capital levels fall below prescribed levels. The minimum CCB in 2017 is 1.25% and increases 0.625% annually through 2019 to 2.5%. The CCB for the Bank was 5.67% and 6.13% at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was 6.60%.

2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

14.     New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption:

In August 2017,March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”providing targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities, which is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The guidance introduces a number of amendments, several of which are optional, that are designed to simplify the application of hedge accounting, improve financial statement transparency and more closely align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management strategies. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08, “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date, rather than amortizing over the full contractual term. The ASU does not change the accounting for securities held at a discount. The amendments in this ASU require companies to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. If the security has additional future call dates, any excess of the amortized cost basis over the amount repayable by the issuer at the next call date should be amortized to the next call date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial positions, results of operations or disclosures as we currently amortize our callable debt securities to the first call date.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”, which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, as follows:

·Service cost must be presented in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs. These costs are generally included within income from continuing operations, but in some cases may be eligible for capitalization, if certain criteria are met.

·All other components of net benefit cost must be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. These generally include interest cost, actual return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost included in accumulated other comprehensive income, and gains or losses from changes in the value of the projected benefit obligation or plan assets. If a separate line item is used to present the other components of net benefit cost, it must be appropriately described. If a separate line item is not used, an entity must disclose the line item(s) in the income statement that includes the other components of net benefit cost. The ASU clarifies that these costs are not eligible for capitalization.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial positions, results of operations or disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The Company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial positions, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, to clarify how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statements of cash flows. The amendments are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying whether the following items should be categorized as operating, investing or financing in the statement of cash flows: (i) debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt, (iii) settlement of contingent consideration, (iv) insurance proceeds, (v) settlement of corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies, (vi) distributions from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (Topic 326), which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the recognition and measurement guidance related to TDRs for creditors that have adopted ASC Topic 326 (commonly referred to as “CECL”) with the recognition and measurement guidance contained in ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing incurred loss model and will apply to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and to some off-balance sheet credit exposures.loan. This ASU will be effectivealso enhances disclosures about loan modifications for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. The Company has begun collecting and evaluating data and system requirementsguidance also requires public business entities to implement this standard. The adoptionpresent gross write-offs by year of this update could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact is still unknown and will depend on many factors, such as the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio and expected loss history at adoption. Management has developed committees to evaluate and implement CECL.

In February 2016, the FASB issuedorigination in their vintage disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee. From the lessor's perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The new standard2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. AThe amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis; however, institutions have the option to apply a modified retrospective transition approach is requiredmethod as it relates to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU and have not yet determined whether this will have material effect on our business operations and consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for lessees for capitalcontract modifications and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the beginningdiscounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the earliest comparative period presented inscope clarification and to tailor the financial statements, with certain practicalexisting guidance to derivative instruments affected by discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is requiredand exceptions for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has not adopted a new accounting policy as of the filing date. Management is continuingapplying GAAP to evaluate the standard, but the effects of recognizing most operating leases on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition is expected to be material. The Company expects to recognize right-of-use assetsloan and lease liabilities for substantially all of its operating lease commitments based onagreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the present value of unpaid lease payments as of the date of adoption.

Inthat are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or re-measurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity could elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments” which requires1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in other comprehensive incomeinterim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the changes in instrument-specific credit riskdate that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for financial liabilities measured usinga Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculateCodification, the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price and; (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available for sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. The guidance in this ASU must be applied prospectively for public companies is effectiveall eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We anticipate this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the annual periods beginning afterselected start date (yet to be determined) and December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. We are evaluating the impacts of this ASU 2014-09 doesand have not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU will have material effects on our business operations and consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other terms related to the majority of our revenue streams. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year delayreplacement of the effective date of this standard. The deferral would require public entities to apply the standard for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Public companies would be permitted to elect to early adopt for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has completed a review of its income streams determining that a significant portion of its income is derived from sources scoped out of this guidance, therefore, we do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Executive Summary

We are a Delaware corporation organized in May 1994. The Bank was organized in 1929 and becameas a federally chartered stockNew York State-chartered mutual savings bank on November 21, 1995, at which time Flushing Financial Corporation acquired all ofbank. Today the stock of the Bank. In 2013, the Bank’s charter was changed toBank operates as a full-service New York State charteredState-chartered commercial bank. The Bank’s primary regulator is the New York State Department of Financial Services, and its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the FDIC. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation has been the operation of the Bank. TheAt June 30, 2022, the Bank owns threetwo subsidiaries: Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc. The Bank also operates an internet branch, which operates under the brands of iGObanking.com® iGObanking.com® and BankPurely® (the “Internet Branch”). The activities of Flushing Financial Corporation are primarily funded by dividends, if any, received from the Bank, issuances of subordinated debt, junior subordinated debt, and issuances of equity securities. Flushing Financial Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FFIC.”

Our principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits together with funds generated from ongoing operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) originations and purchases of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, one-to-four family loans (focusing on mixed-use properties, which are properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units); (2) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and other small business loans; (3) construction loans, primarily for residential properties;loans; (4) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (5) U.S. government securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities. We also originate certain other consumer loans including overdraft lines of credit. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the result of our net interest rate margin, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. We also generate non-interest income primarily from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”), dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Our operating expenses consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Our results of operations also can be significantly affected by changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for which changes in value are recorded through earnings and our periodic provision for loan losses and specific provision for losses on real estate owned.

Our strategy is to continue our focus on being an institution serving consumers, businesses, and governmental units in our local markets. In furtherance of this objective, we intend to:

·increase core deposits and continue to improve funding mix to manage funding costs;

·increase net interest income by leveraging loan pricing opportunities and portfolio mix;

·enhance earnings by improving scalability and efficiency;

·manage credit risk;

·maintain well capitalized levels under all stress test scenarios;

·increase our commitment to the multi-cultural marketplace, with a particular focus on the Asian community in Queens; and

·manage enterprise-wide risk.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement this strategy. Our strategy is subject to change by the Board of Directors.

credit losses.

Our investment policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to manage the interest rate sensitivity of our overall assets and liabilities, to generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk, to complement our lending activities and to provide and maintain liquidity. In establishing our investment strategies, we consider our business and growth strategies, the economic environment, our interest rate risk exposure, our interest rate sensitivity “gap” position, the types of securities to be held and other factors. We classify our investment securities as available for sale or held-to-maturity.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We carry a portion of our financial assets and financial liabilities atunder the fair value option and record changes in their fair value through earnings in non-interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. A description of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through earnings can be found in Note 910 (“Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 we reported net income of $25.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, and reported record net interest income totaling $64.7 million. The record net interest income was driven by a $170.3 million increase in average earning assets during the quarter as the net interest margin declined one basis point compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2017, we continued our strategy of focusing our origination efforts on higher yielding loans. Loan originations and purchases for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 totaled $710.7 million, with multi-family real estate, commercial real estate and commercial business loans accounting for 89.3%2022, the yield on interest-earning assets increased eight basis points, while the cost of originations and purchases. Our total loan portfolio grew 5% duringinterest-bearing liabilities increased 10 basis points from the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 while holding our strong underwriting standards. Loan applicationsMarch 31, 2022, which resulted in process strengtheneda decrease of one basis point in net interest margin to $417.0 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $279.1 million at June 30, 2017 and $289.3 million at September 30, 2016.

The yield on loan production increased 21 basis points to 4.25%3.35% from 3.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022. Excluding net gains (losses) from 4.04%qualifying hedges and purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin increased two basis points to 3.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 51 basis points2022 from 3.74% for the comparable quarter of 2016. This marks the first quarter since the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that our yield from new loan originations and purchases exceeded the yield of our total loan portfolio, after excluding prepayment penalty income and recovered interest from delinquent loans.

Our net interest margin3.31% for the three months ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2022.

Our loan portfolio is greater than 87% collateralized by real estate with an average loan to value of less than 38%. We have a long history and foundation built upon disciplined underwriting, good credit quality, and a resilient seasoned loan portfolio with strong asset protection. At June 30, 2017 was 2.90%, a decrease of five2022, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) - loans stood at 58 basis points from the trailing quarterof gross loans and four basis points from the comparable prior year period. At141.1% of non-performing loans. Non-performing assets at the end of the second quarter of 2017, in order to remain competitive in our market, we increased the rates paid on our government deposits by a weighted average of 33were 59 basis points. At the same time, we expanded BankPurely®, our eco-friendly, socially conscious, healthier lifestyle community internet brand, by offering a premium savings account. The full impact of these initiatives was experienced in the most recent quarter, as the costpoints of total deposits increased 14 basis points from the second quarter of 2017. Additionally, this quarter’s net-interest margin was negatively impacted by seasonal government deposit outflows, which were replaced with short-term borrowings costing an additional 30 basis points to 65 basis points.

We continued our discipline regarding non-interest expense and credit quality continued to improve, as our non-performing assets have decreased by 37% since the end of 2016 and net charge-offs remain minimal. However, during the recent quarter, we recorded a provision for loan losses for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2015, of $3.3 million. The provision was the result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying our performing taxi medallion portfolio. At September 30, 2017, we have allocated $6.0 million of our allowance for taxi medallion loans which equals 33.0% of the outstanding principal.

Interest Income.Interest and dividend income increased $3.8$2.5 million, or 6.8%3.6%, to $59.3$74.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 from $55.5$71.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of $251.7 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $5,936.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $5,684.4 million for the comparable prior year period, combined with an increase of nine16 basis points in the yield of interest-earning assets to 4.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.91% in the comparable prior year period. Thepoint increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of nine basis points was primarily due to an increase of $347.1 million in the average balance of total loans, net, which have a higher yield than the yield of total interest-earning assets, combined with a decrease of $94.3 million in the average balance of total securities, which have a lower yield than the yield of total interest-earning assets. The yield of interest-earning assets also improved due to increases of four basis points and 12 basis points, respectively, in the yields of total loans, net and taxable securities3.85% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 from2022 compared to 3.69% for the comparable prior year period. Additionally, the yield of interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold increased 60 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable prior year period due to increases in the Federal Funds rate. The increases of four basis points in the yield on the total loans, net and 12 basis points in the yield of taxable securities were primarily due to the loans being originated and loans and securities being purchased at higher yields than the existing portfolio yield. Excluding prepayment penalty income and recoveredfrom loans, net recoveries/reversals of interest from non-accrual loans, net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, and purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on total loans, net, would have increased fourseven basis points to 4.09%4.01% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 from 4.05%3.94% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021.

The 14 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the Bank raising the rates we pay on some of our deposit products to stay competitive within our market. This increase in rates was partially offset by an improvement in our funding mix, as the combined average balance of lower costing savings, NOW and money market deposits increased $352.7 million to $2,597.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $2,245.0 million for the comparable prior year period, while the combined average balance of higher costing certificates of deposit and borrowed funds decreased $141.7 million to $2,624.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $2,765.8$6,532.9 million for the comparable prior year period.

The increase in net interest income was primarily due to net interest-earning assets growing $146.0 million year over year to $1,403.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and an increase of 21 basis points in the net interest margin to 3.35% during the same period. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income, net of reversals and recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $60,000 and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and purchase accounting income adjustments of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding all of these items, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.22%, an increase of 18 basis points, from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses was $1.6 million compared to a benefit for credit losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-performing assets increased $34.8 million to $48.9 million, at June 30, 2022. The increase in non-performing assets primarily resulted from the addition of one non-accrual investment security which was collateralized by real estate and three non-accrual commercial business loans.

Non-Interest Income (Loss). Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.4 million, an increase of $10.6 million from a loss of $3.2 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to the prior year period including net losses from fair value adjustments totaling $6.5 million compared to net gains totaling $2.5 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included life insurance proceeds totaling $1.5 million compared to none recorded in the prior year comparable period.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $35.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 4.4%, from $34.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to the growth of the Company.

The increase was primarily due to growth in income before income taxes and an increase in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2022 was 28.4% compared to 24.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the loss of certain New York State and City tax deductions in 2022.

Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $9.9 million, or 6.0%, to $174.9 millionNon-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 from $165.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest income2022 was primarily attributable to an increase of $313.5 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $5,909.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $5,596.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The yield on interest-earning assets increased two basis points to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.93% in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of two basis points was primarily due to the yield on interest-earning assets being positively impacted by an increase of $407.3 million in the average balance of higher yielding total loans, net to $4,955.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $4,548.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Additionally, the yield on the securities portfolio increased 15 basis points to 2.80% for nine months ended September 30, 2017, from 2.65% for the comparable prior year period and the yield on interest-earning deposits increased 40 basis points to 0.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The seven basis point decrease in the yield on total loans, net was primarily due to the decline in the rates earned on new loan originations and purchases, as compared to the existing portfolio, loans modifying to lower rates, and higher yielding loans prepaying. Excluding prepayment penalty income and recovered interest from loans, the yield on total loans, net, would have decreased two basis points to 4.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The 15 basis point increase in the yield on the securities portfolio was primarily due to the net impact in the current year from $160.0 million in purchases at an average yield on 2.94% with $112.4 million in sales at an average yield of 2.21%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.6 million, or 11.4%, to $44.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of $250.9 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $5,272.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $5,021.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Additionally, the increase was due to an increase of six basis points in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities to 1.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 1.07% for the comparable prior year period. The six basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the Bank raising the rates we pay on some of our deposit products to stay competitive within our market. This increase in rates was partially offset by an improvement in our funding mix, as the combined average balance of lower costing savings, NOW and money market deposits increased $329.1 million to $2,645.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2,316.1 million for the comparable prior year period, while the combined average balance of higher costing certificates of deposit and borrowed funds decreased $83.6 million to $2,566.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2,650.4 million for the comparable prior year period.

The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $313.5 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $5,909.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable prior year period. The yield earned on interest-earning assets increased two basis points to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased six basis points to 1.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 1.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The effects of the above on both the net interest spread and net interest margin were decreases of four basis points to 2.82% and 2.93%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income from loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaling $3.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and accelerated accretion of discount upon the call of CLO securities totaling $0.4 million and $26,000, respectively. Without the prepayment penalty income, recovered interest and accelerated discount upon call, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been 2.82%, a decrease of two basis points, as compared to 2.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a provision for loan losses was recorded for $3.3 million, compared to none for the comparable prior year period. The provision was the result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying our performing taxi medallion portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank recorded net charge-offs totaling $0.2 million and non-accrual loans decreased $8.9 million to $12.2 million from $21.0 million at December 31, 2016. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 34.9% at September 30, 2017. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards.

The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to 33.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 39.5%loss of certain New York State and City tax deductions in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects the impact of a change in the accounting treatment of deductible stock compensation expense from prior years. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2016, effective tax rate reflected the impact of preferential tax items because of that period including the gain on sale buildings.2022.

At June 30, 2022, the Bank was able to borrow up to $3,675.0 million from the FHLB-NY in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank had $1,655.4 million outstanding in combined balances of FHLB-NY advances and letters of credit. At June 30, 2022, the Bank also had unsecured lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $695.0 million, with no outstanding amount. In addition, at June 30, 2022, the Holding Company had subordinated debentures with a principal balance totaling $125.0 million and junior subordinated debentures with a face amount of $61.9 million and a carrying amount of $55.4 million. Management believes its available sources of funds are sufficient to fund current operations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuatesfluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available for sale, decreases in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management prepares the “Earnings and Economic Exposure to Changes in Interest Rate” report for review by the Asset Liability Committee of the Board of Directors, as summarized below. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates immediately go up 100 or 200 basis points or down (shocked) 200100 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. The Company’s regulators currently place focus on the net portfolio value, focusing on a rate shock up or down of 200 basis points.  Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. AllThe changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

The following table presents the Company’s interest rate shock as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017:2022:

Income Simulation Analysis. The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management provides a report for review by the ALCO Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value through various interest rate scenarios.

- 55 - The starting point for the net interest income simulation is an estimate of the next twelve month’s net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net interest income simulation assumes that changes in interest rates change gradually in equal increments over the twelve-month period. Prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Based on these assumptions, net interest income would be reduced by 3.9% from a 100 basis point increase in rates over the next twelve months. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

At June 30 2022, the Company had a derivative portfolio with a notional value totaling $1.4 billion. This portfolio is designed to provide protection against rising interest rates. See Note 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A portion of this portfolio is comprised of interest rate swaps on certain short-term advances and brokered deposits totaling $871.5 million. At June 30, 2022, $591.5 million of the interest rate swaps are effective swaps at a weighted average rate of approximately 1.74% that largely mature by early 2024 and $280.0 million of the interest rate swaps are forward swaps effective at different points through 2024, at an average rate of 0.72%.

The net interest income simulation incorporates the next twelve months (through June 30, 2023) and only a portion of the effective swap maturities and the forward starting swaps are included in this period. Assuming another equal increment ramp of 100 basis points increase in rates in the second year (through June 30, 2024), for a total of 200 basis points over two years, the total derivative portfolio has a 1.6% benefit to net interest income (versus the base case) in the first year and a cumulative benefit of 4.2% by the second year.

AVERAGE BALANCES

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following tabletables sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans”.

The following table shows loans classified as TDR at amortized cost that are performing according to their restructured terms at the periods indicated:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICIZED AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS

Our policy is to review our assets, focusing primarily on the loan portfolio, OREOother real estate owned, and the investment portfolios, to ensure that the credit quality is maintained at the highest levels. See Note 5 (“Loans”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans” for a description of how loans are determined to be criticized or classified and a table displaying criticized and classified loans at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016. The Company had no criticized or classified OREO at September 30, 2017 and had $0.5 million classified OREO at December 31, 2016. The Company did not hold any criticized or classified investment securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.2021. Our total Criticized and Classified assets were $72.6$78.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, a decrease $0.1of $0.5 million from December 31, 2016.

On a quarterly basis, all collateral dependent loans that are classified as Substandard or Doubtful are internally reviewed for impairment, based on updated cash flows for income producing properties, or updated independent appraisals. The loan balances of collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment are then compared to the loans updated fair value. We consider fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property, except for taxi medallion loans. The balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off, except for taxi medallion loans. The fair value of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the value of the underlying medallion based upon the most recently reported arm’s length transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. All taxi medallion loans are classified impaired. Taxi medallion loans with a loan-to-value greater than 100% are allocated a portion of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) in the amount of the excess of the loan-to-value over the loan’s principal balance. At September 30, 2017, the current average loan-to-value ratio on our collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment was 52.9%.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The ALL represents the expense charged to earnings based upon management’s quarterly analysis of credit risk. The amount of the ALL is based upon multiple factors that reflect management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses, economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

Management has developed a comprehensive analytical process to monitor the adequacy of the ALL. The process and guidelines were developed using, among other factors, the guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies and GAAP. The results of this process, along with the conclusions of our independent loan review officer, support management’s assessment as to the adequacy of the ALL at each balance sheet date. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans” for a detailed explanation of management’s methodology and policy.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2107, the portion of the ALL related to the loss history declined. Charge-offs recorded in the past twelve quarters were minimal, as credit conditions remained stable. The percentage of loans originated prior to 2009, compared to the total loan portfolio, decreased as scheduled amortization and repayments occurred. As disclosed in Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans”, the loans originated prior to 2009 have a higher delinquency and loss rate. These reductions in the ALL were more than offset by an additional allocation to our taxi medallion portfolio due to a reduction in the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying our performing taxi medallion portfolio. At September 30, 2017, we have allocated $6.0$78.6 million of the allowance to the taxi medallion portfolio which equals 33.0% of the outstanding principal. The impact from the above and the minimal charge-offs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted in the ALL totaling $25.3 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 13.7% from December 31, 2016. Based upon management consistently applying the ALL methodology and review of the loan portfolio, management concluded a charge to earnings to increase the ALL was warranted. The ALL at September 30, 2017, represented 0.50% of gross loans outstanding as compared to 0.46% of gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2016.2021. The ALL represented 181.9%Company had one investment security with an amortized cost of non-performing loans$21.0 million classified as substandard at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to 103.8%2022. This same security was reported as special mention at December 31, 2016.2021.

As a componentIncluded within net loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $5.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the credit risk assessment, the Bank has established an Asset Classification Committee which carefully evaluates loans which are past due 90 days and/or are classified. The Asset Classification Committee thoroughly assesses the condition and circumstances surrounding each loan meeting the criteria. The Bank also has a Delinquency Committee that evaluates loans meeting specific criteria. The Bank’s loan policy requires loans to be placed into non-accrual status once the loan becomes 90 days delinquent unless there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future.applicable jurisdiction.

The increase in non-performing assets is due to three relationships.

The non-performing investment security and attendant loan are collateralized by a commercial condominium located in Manhattan with a combined LTV of approximately 63%.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

ThereExcept as set forth below there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

Changes in Interest Rates, Including Recent and Perhaps Future Increases Fueled by Inflation, May Significantly Impact Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income generated by our interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans) and the interest expense generated by our interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of deposits). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of our interest-earning assets, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by such external factors as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Open Market Committee of the FRB (the “FOMC”), and market interest rates.

It is currently expected that during the remainder of 2022, and perhaps beyond, the FOMC will increase interest rates to reduce the rate of inflation to the extent necessary to reduce inflation to the rate that the FOMC believes is appropriate. In March 2022, the FOMC commenced increasing the target range for the federal funds rate by implementing a 25-basis point increase to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%. In May 2022, the FOMC implemented a 50-basis point increase to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%. In June 2022, the FOMC implemented a 75-basis point increase to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. At its most recent meeting, in late July 2022, the FOMC further added a 75-basis point increase to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%. All of these increases were expressly made in response to inflationary pressures, which are currently expected to continue. In its July 2022 “Beige Book”, the FRB noted that economic activity had expanded at a modest pace from mid-May, with higher food and gas prices and diminished household discretionary income. The report also noted that housing demand had weakened, commercial real estate conditions had slowed, and loan demand had been mixed, with some financial institutions reporting increased customer usage of revolving credit lines and others reporting weakened residential loan demand amid higher mortgage interest rates. The report concluded that the outlook for future economic growth is mostly negative, with expectations for further weakening of demand over the next six to twelve months.

There can be no assurances as to any future FOMC conduct. If the FOMC further increases the targeted federal funds rates, overall interest rates likely will rise, which will positively impact our interest income but may further negatively impact the entire national economy, including the housing industry in the markets we serve, by reducing refinancing activity and new home purchases. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operational costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance. A significant portion of our loans have fixed interest rates (or, if adjustable, are initially fixed for periods of five to 10 years) and longer terms than our deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income could be adversely affected if the rates we pay on deposits and borrowings increase more rapidly than the rates we earn on loans. Our interest rate risk is exacerbated in the short term by the fact that approximately 80% of our certificates of deposit accounts and borrowings will reprice or mature during the next year. While the higher payments we would receive on adjustable-rate loans in a rising interest rate environment may increase our interest income, nonetheless (notwithstanding our stress testing) some borrowers ultimately may be unable to afford the higher payment amounts, which could result in a higher rate of default. Rising interest rates also may reduce the demand for loans and the value of fixed-rate investment securities. These effects from interest rate changes or from other sustained economic stress or a recession, among other matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

As a result of our historical focus on the origination of multi-family residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans, most of our loans are adjustable rate, however, many adjust at periods of five to 10 years. In addition, a large percentage of our investment securities and mortgage-backed securities have fixed interest rates and are classified as available for sale. As is the case with many financial institutions, our emphasis on increasing the development of core deposits, those with no stated maturity date, has resulted in our interest-bearing liabilities having a shorter duration than our interest-earning assets. This imbalance can create significant earnings volatility because interest rates change over time and are currently at historical low levels. As interest rates increase, including as noted above, our cost of funds will increase more rapidly than the yields on a substantial portion of our interest-earning assets. In addition, the market value of our fixed-rate assets for example, our investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, would decline if interest rates increase. In line with the foregoing, we have experienced and may continue to experience an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily due to raising the rates we pay on some of our deposit products to stay competitive within our market and an increase in borrowing costs from increases in the federal funds rate.

Prevailing interest rates also affect the extent to which borrowers repay and refinance loans. In a declining interest rate environment, the number of loan prepayments and loan refinancing may increase, as well as prepayments of mortgage-backed securities. Call provisions associated with our investment in U.S. government agency and corporate securities may also adversely affect yield in a declining interest rate environment. Such prepayments and calls may adversely affect the yield of our loan portfolio and mortgage-backed and other securities as we reinvest the prepaid funds in a lower interest rate environment. However, we typically receive additional loan fees when existing loans are refinanced, which partially offset the reduced yield on our loan portfolio resulting from prepayments. In periods of low interest rates, our level of core deposits also may decline if depositors seek higher-yielding instruments or other investments not offered by us, which in turn may increase our cost of funds and decrease our net interest margin to the extent alternative funding sources are utilized. An increasing interest rate environment would tend to extend the average lives of lower yielding fixed rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, which could adversely affect net interest income. Also, in an increasing interest rate environment, mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities may prepay at slower rates than experienced in the past, which could result in a reduction of prepayment penalty income. In addition, depositors tend to open longer term, higher costing certificate of deposit accounts which could adversely affect our net interest income if rates were to subsequently decline. Additionally, adjustable-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities generally contain interim and lifetime caps that limit the amount the interest rate can increase or decrease at repricing dates. Significant increases in prevailing interest rates may significantly affect demand for loans and the value of bank collateral. See “— Local Economic Conditions” disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
