2 Year in Review: Disciplined Execution Prudent growth and balance sheet management is delivering excellent shareholder value • The decision to expand throughout the Metropolitan New York region has transformed our balance sheet and created the foundation for future growth. • Core relationship deposit 1 growth meaningfully reshaped the funding mix, including $316 million of NIB growth (+28%), strengthening earnings durability and reducing reliance on higher-cost funding. • NIM improvement reflects disciplined asset growth and funding optimization, as loan growth at attractive spreads and materially lower deposit costs – driven by strong down- cycle betas – reflect the core strength of the deposit franchise. • Earnings growth translated directly into shareholder value, with EPS up 33% YoY and TBVPS up 10%, while maintaining balance sheet flexibility to support future growth.

24 Capital Summary 1) Tangible equity and tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. Tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at quarter end is calculated by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at quarter end. See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation included in these tables. 2) Tangible book value per share excludes intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible equity by quarter end common shares outstanding. See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation tables.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Pre-Provision Net Revenue (“PPNR”) is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company to assess the earnings available to absorb credit losses and support capital from its core banking operations. PPNR is defined as: Net interest income (GAAP) + Noninterest income (GAAP) − Noninterest expense (GAAP) It excludes the provision for credit losses and income tax expense. PPNR is not a substitute for net income as reported under GAAP, and the calculation may differ from similarly-named measures at other institutions.
