KEARNY FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2027 RESULTS

AND DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND

Fairfield, N.J., October 22, 2026 – Kearny Financial Corp. (NASDAQ GS: KRNY) (the “Company”), the holding company of Kearny Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 of $10.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on November 18, 2026, to stockholders of record as of November 4, 2026.

Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report continued progress this quarter, reflecting ongoing execution of our strategic plan, solid loan and deposit growth, and disciplined expense management. While our net interest margin reflected the impact of lower prepayment-related income and the repricing of our final remaining COVID-era wholesale funding position, our underlying margin drivers remain intact. Ongoing loan repricing and balance sheet remixing are expected to support further margin expansion in the quarters ahead.”

Mr. Montanaro continued, “Our strategic transformation continues to gain momentum as we deepen commercial client relationships, expand relationship-based deposit growth, and further reposition the balance sheet toward higher-yielding commercial and construction lending opportunities. During the quarter, we expanded our deposit-gathering capabilities with the launch of a dedicated Nonprofit and Independent Education Banking team. This initiative broadens access to attractive relationship-based funding sources and further diversifies our deposit franchise.”

First Quarter Highlights

•Net income increased 40.0% to $10.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

•Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) increased 14.0% to $13.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, reflecting ongoing strengthening of core earnings.

•Continued the strategic remixing of the loan portfolio, growing total loans by 7.2% on an annualized basis, while reducing multifamily mortgage exposure.

•Total deposits grew by 8.7% on an annualized basis, reflecting continued momentum across the Bank's commercial deposit initiatives and supporting loan growth and balance sheet optimization.

•Launched a Nonprofit and Independent Education Banking team led by a seasoned industry professional with extensive experience serving mission-driven organizations through specialized banking solutions, further strengthening the Bank's commercial banking capabilities.

Balance Sheet

•Total assets were $7.78 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $95.7 million, or 1.2%, from June 30, 2026.

•Investment securities totaled $1.04 billion at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $35.0 million, or 3.3%, from June 30, 2026.

•Loans receivable totaled $5.98 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $105.1 million, or 1.8%, from June 30, 2026.

•Deposits were $5.83 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $123.9 million, or 2.2%, from June 30, 2026, primarily driven by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits.

•Borrowings were $1.14 billion at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $15.0 million, or 1.3%, from June 30, 2026, reflecting reductions in overnight borrowings, partially offset by an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances.

•At September 30, 2026, the Company maintained available secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window of $2.21 billion, representing 28.5% of total assets.

Earnings

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

•Average loan yields increased 10 basis points and average loan balances grew for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, contributing to an increase of $2.2 million, or 2.7%, in total interest income. Net interest margin was 2.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of three basis points from the prior quarter, as the benefit from higher asset yields was offset by the repricing of the Company’s final remaining COVID-era wholesale funding position and declines in purchase accounting accretion and loan prepayment penalty income, as described in further detail below.

•For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, net interest income decreased $294,000 to $40.1 million from $40.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $396,000 and $537,000, and loan prepayment penalty income of $336,000 and $622,000. Excluding loan prepayment penalty income and purchase accounting accretion, net interest income increased $132,000 from the prior period.

Non-Interest Income

•For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, non-interest income decreased $110,000, or 2.1%, to $5.2 million from $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring write-down of $122,000 on one other real estate owned property resulting from an updated appraisal. The remaining changes in non-interest income reflected normal operating fluctuations within those line items.

Non-Interest Expense

•For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, non-interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 6.1%, to $31.8 million from $33.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by decreases in salary and benefits, advertising, equipment and systems, and other expense.

•Salary and benefits expense decreased $883,000 to $19.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by the absence of a $745,000 non-recurring severance charge recorded in the prior period and a $193,000 non-recurring decrease in stock-based compensation recorded in the current period. Excluding these items, salary and benefits expense remained relatively unchanged at $19.6 million for both periods.

•Advertising and marketing expense decreased $365,000 to $381,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $746,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by lower advertising expenses across various formats.

•Equipment and systems expense decreased $126,000 to $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by lower third-party core processing service fees.

•Other expense decreased $705,000 to $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 from $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by lower professional fees, provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments, and other real estate owned expenses. Changes in the other components of non-interest expense between comparative periods reflected normal operating fluctuations within those line items.

Income Taxes

•Income tax expense totaled $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.7% and 34.9%, respectively. Income tax expense in the prior period included a $1.6 million valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset related to certain legacy stock-based compensation awards.

Asset Quality

•The balance of non-performing assets increased $3.2 million to $56.6 million, or 0.73% of total assets, at September 30, 2026 from $53.4 million, or 0.70% of total assets, at June 30, 2026.

•Net charge-offs totaled $277,000, or 0.02% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $49,000, or less than 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

•For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $830,000, compared to $822,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The provision for credit loss expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by loan growth.

•Allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $46.0 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at September 30, 2026, an increase of $553,000 from $45.5 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at June 30, 2026. The increase in the ACL from June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by a provision for credit losses, partially offset by loan charge-offs, as noted above.

Capital

•For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, book value per share decreased $0.20, or 1.7%, to $11.64 and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) decreased $0.19, or 1.9%, to $9.88, primarily reflecting changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities resulting from market interest rate movements during the quarter.

•At September 30, 2026, total stockholders’ equity included after-tax net unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $90.6 million, partially offset by after-tax unrealized gains on derivatives of $13.1 million. After-tax net unrecognized losses on securities held to maturity of $11.6 million were not reflected in total stockholders’ equity.

•At September 30, 2026, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) equaled 8.37%. Additionally, the regulatory capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank continued to be in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements as of September 30, 2026.

KEARNY FINANCIAL CORP. | NASDAQ: KRNY Forward Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain “forward-looking statements,” which are made in good faith by Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”) pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). In addition to the factors described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: • the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in which the Company conducts operations, • the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations, • the impact of changes in laws, regulations and government policies affecting financial institutions (including taxation, banking, securities, insurance and tariffs), • the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events, • changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, • technological changes, • competition among financial services providers, and • the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing and managing its business. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Readers should not place any undue reliance on any forward- looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this presentation. 2
