Key developments for the quarter, compared to the linked quarter, are described below:

  • Organic Growth: The Company generated continued organic growth across its legacy portfolio, with commercial loans increasing $154 million, or 2%, non-interest bearing deposits increasing $101 million, or 6%, and $150 million of deposit growth from Premier Banking teams, reflecting the Company's focus on core relationships. These results underscore the continued strength of the core growth initiatives, which the Flushing franchise will further bolster.
  • Net Interest Margin Expansion: Net interest margin increased 12 basis points to 3.05% from 2.93%, and net interest income increased by $24.3 million to $120.7 million.
  • Flushing Acquisition: On June 1, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Flushing Financial Corporation ("Flushing"), the holding company of Flushing Bank. Flushing added $8.69 billion to total assets, $6.19 billion to loans and loans held for sale, and $7.44 billion to deposits. Flushing added 30 retail branches across New York City and Long Island.
  • Balance Sheet Repositioning: The Company sold $1.31 billion of multifamily loans from the Flushing acquisition at a price of 92.25% and invested the $1.20 billion of net proceeds into highly-liquid, investment grade securities. The repositioning reduces commercial real estate concentration by approximately 50 percentage points to 381%3, while increasing liquidity as indicated by on-hand liquidity4 increasing to 11.5% of assets and the loan-to-deposit ratio falling to 91.60%. Additionally, the allowance for credit losses increased to 1.29% of total loans receivable.
  • Operating Expenses: The Company anticipates full integration of Flushing's operations and systems in the third quarter of 2026. The resulting operating synergies are expected to improve efficiency and reduce operating expenses in future periods.

Chief Executive Officer, Christopher D. Maher, commented on the Company's results, "We are pleased to see continued momentum in our core business and to have welcomed Flushing into the OceanFirst family during the quarter. Full integration and the rebranding of Flushing branches is scheduled to occur in the third quarter of 2026, allowing for the realization of synergies well before year-end. We look forward to building on the strong customer relationships Flushing has developed over the years." Mr. Maher added, "The execution of the loan sale reduced the Company's exposure to rent-regulated properties in New York City. These actions reflect our commitment to maintain a strong balance sheet and an enhanced liquidity profile, positioning the combined organization for sustainable, long-term growth."

The Company's Board of Directors declared its 118th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share will be paid on August 21, 2026, to common stockholders and NVCE stockholders of record on August 10, 2026.

Results of Operations
On June 1, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Flushing and its results of operations from June 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 are included in the consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, but are not included in the results of operations for the corresponding prior year periods. Further, the current quarter included $42.8 million of non-recurring merger-related expenses for the Flushing acquisition, representing $33.6 million net of tax, or $0.48 per share.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Net interest income increased to $120.7 million, from $87.6 million, reflecting the net impact of the interest rate environment and the acquisition of Flushing, which added $19.1 million of net interest income. Net interest margin increased to 3.05%, from 2.91%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.05% and 0.04%, respectively, and the impact of purchase accounting on average-interest earning assets.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $3.81 billion, which was impacted by $2.50 billion of average interest-earning assets acquired from Flushing and increases in commercial loans and securities. The average yield for interest-earning assets increased to 5.29%, from 5.14%, primarily due to the repricing of assets and new originations, and the addition of loans acquired from Flushing at higher yields.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.74%, from 2.77%, primarily due to repricing of deposits and, to a lesser extent, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, partially offset by the addition of deposits acquired from Flushing at higher rates. The total cost of deposits remained stable at 2.06% for both periods. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $3.25 billion, driven by liabilities assumed from Flushing, and the remainder attributable to increases in deposits and FHLB advances.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Net interest income increased to $217.2 million, from $174.3 million, reflecting the net impact of the interest rate environment and the acquisition of Flushing. Net interest margin increased to 2.99%, from 2.91%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.04% for both periods.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $2.53 billion, driven by $1.26 billion acquired from Flushing and increases in commercial loans and securities. The average yield for interest-earning assets increased to 5.20%, from 5.14%, primarily due to the repricing of assets and new originations, and the addition of loans acquired from Flushing at higher yields.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.70%, from 2.77%, primarily due to repricing of deposits and FHLB advances, partially offset by the addition of deposits acquired from Flushing at higher rates. The total cost of deposits decreased four basis points to 2.02%, from 2.06%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $2.23 billion, driven by the acquisition of Flushing, with the remaining increases related to deposits and FHLB advances.

Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. March 31, 2026
Net interest income increased by $24.3 million, to $120.7 million from $96.4 million, and net interest margin increased to 3.05%, from 2.93%. Net interest margin included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.05% and 0.01%, respectively.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $2.52 billion, and the yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 5.29%, from 5.10%. As noted above, the current quarter was impacted by interest-earning assets acquired from Flushing and repricing of assets and new originations.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.74%, from 2.66%. The total cost of deposits increased to 2.06%, from 1.97%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $2.03 billion, driven by Flushing as noted above, partly offset by government deposit outflows.

Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $4.0 million and $6.7 million, as compared to $3.0 million and $8.4 million for the corresponding prior year periods, and $2.7 million in the linked quarter. The current quarter provision was primarily driven by a reserve build of $2.5 million and replenishment of net charge-offs of $1.5 million.

Net loan charge-offs were $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $2.2 million and $2.9 million for the corresponding prior year periods and $701,000 for the linked quarter. Net loan charge-offs to average total loans were 0.05% and 0.04% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 0.09% and 0.06% for the corresponding prior year periods and 0.03% for the linked quarter.

Non-interest Income
Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Other income decreased to $10.6 million, as compared to $11.7 million. Other income was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $347,000 related to net losses on equity investments in the current quarter. The prior period other income was favorably impacted by non-core operations of $488,000 related to net gains on equity investments. Excluding the impact of non-core operations, other income decreased by $300,000. The current year period includes $1.4 million of other income from the acquisition of Flushing which largely was offset by the reduction in fees and services charges from the discontinuation of our title business for the comparable prior year period.

Excluding the impact of non-core operations and Flushing, the decrease in other income of $1.7 million was driven by a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.8 million and a decrease in net gain on sale of loans of $1.2 million due to the discontinuation of residential loan originations, including the disposition of the title business at the beginning of the fourth quarter last year. In addition, the prior period included non-recurring other income of $1.1 million. This was partly offset by increases in net gain on other real estate operations of $1.5 million and commercial loan swap income of $1.4 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Other income decreased to $17.3 million, as compared to $23.0 million. Other income was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $701,000 related to net losses on equity investments in the current period. The prior period other income was favorably impacted by non-core operations of $693,000 related to net gains on equity investments. Excluding the impact of non-core operations, other income decreased by $4.2 million. This was partly offset by the acquisition of Flushing, as noted above.

The remaining decrease in other income by $5.6 million was driven by a decrease in fees and service charges of $3.6 million and a decrease in a net gain on sale of loans of $2.1 million due to the same drivers as noted above. In addition, the prior period included non-recurring other income of $1.9 million. This was partly offset by increases in net gain on other real estate operations of $1.3 million and commercial loan swap income of $1.1 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. March 31, 2026
Other income in the linked quarter was $6.7 million and included non-core operations of $354,000 related to net losses on equity investments. Excluding non-core operations and Flushing's other income stated above, other income increased by $2.5 million. The primary drivers were increases in net gain on other real estate operations of $1.4 million and commercial loan swap income of $1.2 million.

Non-interest Expense
Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Operating expenses increased to $129.9 million, as compared to $71.5 million. Operating expenses in the current quarter were adversely impacted by non-core operations of $42.7 million, due to merger-related expenses. Excluding the impact of non-core operations, other expenses increased by $15.7 million, primarily due to $14.8 million of operating expenses recognized in June from the acquisition of Flushing.

The remaining increase in operating expenses of $877,000 was driven by an increase in compensation and benefits of $2.5 million, mostly due to commercial banking hires adjusted for annual inflationary increases, partly offset by the impact of our residential outsourcing initiative. Additional drivers were decreases in professional fees of $1.3 million, mostly due to recruitment fees for the Company's commercial banking hires in the prior year.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 vs. June 30, 2025
Operating expenses increased to $203.3 million, as compared to $135.8 million. Operating expenses in the current quarter were adversely impacted by non-core operations of $47.0 million, due to merger-related expenses and restructuring charges. Excluding the impact of non-core operations, other expenses increased by $20.5 million primarily due to the acquisition of Flushing, as noted above.

The remaining increase in operating expenses of $5.7 million was driven by an increase in compensation and benefits of $5.3 million, mostly due to commercial banking hires adjusted for annual inflationary increases, partly offset by the impact of our residential outsourcing initiative.

Three months ended June 30, 2026 vs. March 31, 2026
Operating expenses in the linked quarter were $73.4 million and included non-core operations of $4.3 million related to merger-related expenses and restructuring charges. Excluding non-core operations and Flushing's other expense stated above, operating expenses increased by $3.2 million. The primary drivers were increases in compensation and benefits of $3.3 million, partly due to new hires and an additional working day, and marketing expense of $646,000. These were partly offset by a decrease in data processing expense of $975,000.

Income Tax Expense
The provision for income taxes was $496,000 and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $5.8 million and $12.6 million for the same prior year periods and $6.5 million for the linked quarter. The effective tax rate was (19.6)% and 28.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 23.2% and 23.7% for the same prior year period and 24.2% for the linked quarter. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was adversely impacted by non-deductible merger related expenses, which were offset by a one-time revaluation of deferred taxes as a result of the Flushing acquisition. Excluding the impact of these adjustments, the effective tax rate would have been 28.1% and increased as a result of the new tax profile due to the acquisition of Flushing.

Financial Condition5
June 30, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025
Total assets increased by $8.71 billion to $23.27 billion, due to the acquisition of Flushing which added $8.69 billion to total assets. Total loans increased by $5.24 billion to $16.28 billion, from $11.03 billion, primarily due to Flushing totaling $6.19 billion partly offset by $1.31 billion of multifamily loans sold during the quarter for a price of $1.20 billion, net of costs to sell. Debt securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale increased by $2.82 billion, primarily due to the acquisition of Flushing totaling $1.54 billion and the reinvestment of proceeds from the loan sales into securities. Bank owned life insurance increased by $233.6 million to $503.9 million, from $270.3 million driven by the acquisition of Flushing. As part of the acquisition of Flushing, the Company's goodwill balance increased to $529.8 million, from $517.5 million and intangibles increased to $90.6 million, from $9.0 million.

Other assets increased by $217.7 million to $367.0 million, from $149.3 million primarily due to revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of the acquisition of Flushing and increase in market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swaps.

Total liabilities increased by $7.96 billion to $20.86 billion, from $12.90 billion primarily due to the acquisition of Flushing, which added $8.16 billion. Deposits increased by $6.80 billion to $17.76 billion, from $10.96 billion, primarily due to acquired deposits from Flushing totaling $7.44 billion. Excluding Flushing, the decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to a decrease in government deposits due to seasonality. Time deposits increased by $1.74 billion to $4.21 billion, from $2.47 billion, representing 23.7% and 22.5% of total deposits, respectively. Time deposits included an increase in retail time deposits of $1.41 billion and brokered time deposits of $276.0 million. FHLB advances increased by $335.2 million to $1.73 billion, from $1.40 billion, partly due to Flushing and additional borrowing needs. Other borrowings increased by $238.0 million to $493.2 million, from $255.2 million driven by the addition of subordinated debt and trust preferred securities from the acquisition of Flushing. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 91.6%, as compared to 100.6%.

Other liabilities increased by $489.8 million to $699.1 million, from $209.3 million, mostly related to $337.0 million of unsettled security purchases and increases in market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swaps.

Capital levels remain strong and in excess of "well-capitalized" regulatory levels at June 30, 2026, including the Company's estimated common equity tier one capital ratio of 10.7%.

Total stockholders' equity increased to $2.41 billion, as compared to $1.66 billion, primarily due to the acquisition of Flushing which added $535.6 million to stockholders' equity. The current period also included a $225 million strategic investment from affiliates of funds managed by Warburg, in exchange for approximately 9.6 million shares of common stock, 1.8 million shares of NVCE stock, and warrants to purchase 11.4 million shares of NVCE stock. Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $1.2 million primarily due to decreases in the fair market value of available-for-sale debt securities and derivative hedges, net of tax.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 376,277 shares totaling $7.1 million representing a weighted average cost of $18.70, for repurchases of exercised options and vesting of awards from employees outside of the authorized share repurchase program.

The Company's stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 10.36% at June 30, 2026, and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio decreased by 18 basis points during the year to 7.91%, primarily due to the drivers described above.

Book value per common share6 decreased to $24.50, as compared to $28.97. Tangible book value per common share decreased to $18.19, as compared to $19.79.

Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of intangible assets, goodwill, and preferred equity from both stockholders' equity and total assets. Tangible book value per common share is based on common shares outstanding at period end Refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the "Other Items - Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Asset Quality
June 30, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025
The Company's allowance for loan credit losses was 1.29% of total loans, as compared to 0.76%. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was largely driven by incremental allowance for loan credit losses of $121 million added for the Flushing portfolio and the reserve build. Refer to "Provision for Credit Losses" section for further discussion.

Non-performing loans increased to $108.2 million, from $27.8 million, primarily due to $53.8 million of non-performing loans acquired from Flushing and one commercial relationship of $20.6 million. Non-performing loans represented 0.67% and 0.25% of total loans, respectively. The allowance for loan credit losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 193.75%, as compared to 301.27%. The level of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans decreased to $47.1 million, from $47.8 million, primarily due to the one commercial relationship noted above, which was partially offset by $18.2 million of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans acquired from Flushing. Criticized and classified loans and investment, and other real estate owned, increased to $541.5 million, from $122.1 million, primarily due to $293.2 million of loans and a $20.7 million investment acquired from Flushing, which were re-risked at the date of acquisition based on the Company's credit standards. The remaining increase was driven by two commercial relationships totaling $56.1 million.

The Company identified $750.4 million of purchased with credit deterioration ("PCD") loans from the Flushing acquisition largely consisting of criticized and classified loans and loans with any rent-regulated exposure. Non-performing loans in the current period included $51.6 million of PCD loans acquired from Flushing, and 30 to 89 days delinquent loans in the current period included $8.6 million of PCD loans acquired from Flushing.

The Company's asset quality, excluding PCD loans, was as follows. Non-performing loans increased to $54.1 million, from $22.4 million. The allowance for loan credit losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 388.00%, as compared to 374.46%. The level of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans, excluding non-performing loans, decreased to $36.9 million, from $44.7 million.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reported amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of reported net income excluding non-core operations and in some instances excluding income taxes and provision for credit losses, and reporting equity and asset amounts excluding intangible assets and goodwill, all of which can vary from period to period, provides a better comparison 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 financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, which may be presented by other companies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation table at the end of this document for details on the earnings impact of these items.
