### KEARNY FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR END 2026 RESULTS

AND DECLARATION OF $0.11 PER SHARE CASH DIVIDEND

Fairfield, N.J., July 23, 2026 – Kearny Financial Corp. (NASDAQ GS: KRNY) (the “Company”), the holding company of Kearny Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of $7.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $36.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $26.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

As explained in additional detail below, net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was impacted by various non-recurring items, including a $1.6 million discrete tax charge, $745,000 of severance expense, and $262,000 of other real estate owned (“OREO”) acquisition expense.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on August 26, 2026, to stockholders of record as of August 12, 2026.

Craig L. Montanaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased to report our fiscal 2026 performance, which reflected a 39% increase in net income compared to the prior fiscal year, continued expansion of our net interest margin, and growth in both loans and deposits. Fiscal 2026 was a year of meaningful progress and reflected the successful execution of our strategic plan, including the continued remixing of our balance sheet, enhanced operational efficiency, and our focus on building deeper commercial banking relationships.”

Mr. Montanaro continued, “During the fiscal year, we invested in growth initiatives across commercial banking, treasury management, and technology. We added experienced banking talent and expanded capabilities designed to deepen commercial client relationships and support loan and deposit growth. These investments are strengthening our ability to attract high-quality commercial relationships and further our evolution into a commercially focused banking franchise.”

Mr. Montanaro concluded, “As we enter fiscal 2027, we remain focused on executing our strategic plan through organic growth, operational excellence, and the continued enhancement of the client experience. We believe the investments we have made in talent, technology, and operating efficiency, coupled with tailwinds from low-coupon loan repricing, position us well to continue delivering sustainable earnings growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

### Earnings

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

- Net interest margin increased by five basis points to 2.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and by 30 basis points to 2.18% for the year ended June 30, 2026. The quarterly improvement was driven by higher loan yields and balances and a reduction in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher costs on interest-bearing liabilities. The year-over-year improvement reflected higher loan yields and balances and lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower yields and balances on investment securities and other interest-earning assets.
- For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 2.9%, to $40.4 million from $39.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Included in net interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $537,000 and $552,000, and loan prepayment penalty income of $622,000 and $422,000.
- For the year ended June 30, 2026, net interest income increased $20.3 million, or 15.1%, to $155.3 million from $134.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2025. Included in net interest income for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was purchase accounting accretion of $2.2 million and $2.4 million and loan prepayment penalty income of $2.1 million and $783,000.

Non-Interest Income

- For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income decreased $781,000, or 12.8%, to $5.3 million from $6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by the absence of a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $1.0 million recorded in the prior period. Excluding this non-recurring item, non-interest income increased $218,000, or 4.3%, from $5.1 million, primarily driven by an increase in loan related fees and charges and a higher gain on sale of loans.
- Fees and service charges increased $144,000 to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $922,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
- Gain on sale of loans increased $123,000 to $316,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $193,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
- For the year ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income increased $3.8 million to $22.8 million from $19.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by $1.8 million in non-recurring pre-tax gains on the sale of properties held for sale in the current period, and increases in loan- and branch-related fees and charges.

Non-Interest Expense

- For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 4.8%, to $33.9 million from $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Excluding a non-recurring charge of $745,000 related to severance, non-interest expense increased $806,000, primarily reflecting higher salary and benefit costs, OREO acquisition-related expenses of $262,000, and a provision for unfunded commitments of $264,000, partially offset by a lower net occupancy expense.
- Salary and benefits expense increased $1.0 million to $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring charge of $745,000 related to severance associated with a strategic realignment of the Company’s retail banking organization.
- Net occupancy expense of premises decreased $401,000 to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by the absence of snow removal expenses recorded in the prior period.
- Other expense increased $942,000 to $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring OREO acquisition-related expense of $262,000, a reserve on unfunded commitments of $264,000 due to growth in construction loans, compared to an $86,000 reserve reversal in the prior period, and higher professional and other fees. Remaining changes reflected normal operating fluctuations.
- For the year ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense increased $8.4 million, or 6.9%, to $129.0 million from $120.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by higher salary and benefits expense and other expense. Salary and benefits expense increased due to annual merit increases, higher incentive compensation, and a non-recurring severance charge, while other expense increased primarily as a result of higher professional fees, loan related expenses, and the non-recurring charges discussed above.

Income Taxes

- Income tax expense totaled $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.9% and 19.8%, respectively. Income tax expense increased due to the establishment of a valuation allowance of $1.6 million against a deferred tax asset related to certain legacy stock-based compensation awards.
- Income tax expense totaled $11.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2025. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by higher pre-tax income in the current year period and the establishment of a valuation allowance of $1.6 million, as discussed above.

### Asset Quality

- Non-performing assets increased to $53.4 million, or 0.70% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, from $52.4 million, or 0.69% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, and from $45.6 million, or 0.59% of total assets, at June 30, 2025. Included in non-performing assets at June 30, 2026 were two foreclosed properties with an aggregate carrying value of $5.5 million that were reclassified from non-performing loans to OREO during the quarter.
- Net charge-offs totaled $49,000, or less than 0.01% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $626,000, or 0.04% of average loans, on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the year ended June 30, 2026, net charge-offs totaled $2.4 million, or 0.04% of average loans, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.02% of average loans, for the year ended June 30, 2025.
- For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $822,000, compared to $391,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by loan growth. For the years ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
- The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $45.5 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, an increase of $773,000 from $44.7 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at March 31, 2026. The ACL was $46.2 million, or 0.79% of total loans, at June 30, 2025.

### Capital

- For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, book value per share and tangible book value per share increased $0.05, or 0.4%, to $11.84 and $10.07, respectively, compared to the prior period. - At June 30, 2026, total stockholders’ equity included after-tax net unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $68.5 million, partially offset by after-tax unrealized gains on derivatives of $4.8 million. After-tax net unrecognized losses on securities held to maturity of $8.4 million were not reflected in total stockholders’ equity. - At June 30, 2026, the Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio equaled 8.62% and the regulatory capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank were in excess of the levels required by federal banking regulators to be classified as “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (as reported) and non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures provide additional information, which allow readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders.

(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 effecting 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.
