Flushing Financial Corporation Reports 4Q24 and 2024 GAAP Loss Per Share of $(1.61) and $(1.05), and Core EPS of $0.14 and $0.73, Respectively; Actions Taken to Improve Profitability and to Strengthen the Balance Sheet
"Our Company successfully executed meaningful actions in 2024 to position it for enhanced earnings in 2025. First, we raised $70 million of capital to reposition the balance sheet, completed the restructuring of the investment portfolio, transferred loans to held for sale, and repositioned borrowings while reducing the cost. The overall result of this balance sheet restructuring is expected to be a significant improvement performance with 10-15 bps of NIM expansion expected in 1Q25. This restructuring will further propel our baseline NIM expansion, which was 29 and 18 bps, respectively, for GAAP and Core, in 4Q24. Second, our actions to move the balance sheet to a more neutral position have helped position the Company for the current environment. The recent steepening of the yield curve should further aid NIM improvement over time. Lastly, after making progress on our four areas of focus in 2024, we are shifting the priorities in 2025 to 1) Preserving Strong Liquidity and Capital, 2) Maintaining Credit Discipline, and 3) Improving Profitability. While progress occurred in 2024, by shifting our priorities in 2025, we expect further improvement.- John R. Buran, President and CEO
