Fairfield, New Jersey 07004

Members of the Boards of Directors:

We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion described below.

This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and accepted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Our original appraisal report, dated August 8, 2014 (the “Original Appraisal”), which was filed in conjunction with the Application for Conversion that was subsequent withdrawn, is incorporated herein by reference as confirmed by the FRB. As in the preparation of our Original Appraisal, we believe the data and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

On September 4, 2014, the respective Boards of Directors of Kearny MHC (the “MHC”) and Kearny Financial Corp. (“KRNY”) adopted the plan of conversion and reorganization (the “Plan of Conversion”) whereby the MHC will convert to stock form. As a result of the conversion, KRNY, which currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Kearny Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), will be succeed by a Maryland corporation with the name of Kearny Financial Corp. (“Kearny Financial” or the “Company”). Following the conversion, the MHC will no longer exist. For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter also be referred to as Kearny Financial or the Company, unless otherwise identified as KRNY. As of December 31, 2014, the MHC had a majority ownership interest in, and its principal asset consisted of, approximately 77.12% of the common stock (the “MHC Shares”) of KRNY. The remaining 22.88% of KRNY’s common stock is owned by public stockholders.

It is our understanding that Kearny Financial will offer its stock, representing the majority ownership interest held by the MHC, in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Plans including the Bank’s employee savings and stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable federal regulatory requirements governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may offered for sale to the public at large in a

community offering and a syndicated or firm commitment underwritten offering. Upon completing the mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering (the “second-step conversion”), the Company will be 100% owned by public shareholders, the publicly-held shares of KRNY will be exchanged for shares in the Company at a ratio that retains their ownership interest at the time the conversion is completed and the MHC assets will be consolidated with the Company.

In connection with the second-step conversion, the Company will contribute $5 million of Kearny Financial common stock and $5 million of cash to Kearny Federal Savings Foundation (the “Foundation”).

This updated appraisal reflects the following noteworthy items: (1) a review of recent developments in Kearny Financial’s financial condition, including financial data through December 31, 2014; (2) an updated comparison of Kearny Financials financial condition and operating results versus the Peer Group companies identified in the Original Appraisal; and (3) a review of stock market conditions since the date of the Original Appraisal.

The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Kearny Financial’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the second-step offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

Discussion of Relevant Considerations

 

  1. Financial Results

Table 1 presents summary balance sheet and income statement details for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and updated financial information through December 31, 2014. Kearny Financial’s assets increased by $37.9 million or 1.1% from June 30, 2014 to December 31, 2014, which was largely related to loan growth partially offset by decreases in cash and total investment securities during the six month period. Overall, cash and investments (inclusive of FHLB stock) decreased from $1.518 billion or 43.25% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $1.478 billion or 41.67% of assets at December 31, 2014. Loans receivable increased from $1.729 billion or 49.26% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $1.801 billion or 50.78% of assets at December 31, 2014. The balances for bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and goodwill and other intangible assets were respectively slightly higher and lower at December 31, 2014 compared to June 30, 2014.

Updated credit quality measures showed the balance of non-performing assets remained stable during the six month period ended December 31, 2014, with non-performing assets totaling $26.9 million at June 30. 2014 and at December 31, 2014. Non-performing assets equaled 0.76% of assets at December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, non-performing assets consisted of $25.0 million of non-accruing loans and $1.9 million of real estate owned.

The Company’s interest-bearing funding composition showed a slight decrease in deposits and a slight increase in borrowings during the six month period ended December 31, 2014. Deposits decreased from $2.480 billion or 70.65% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $2.465 billion or 69.47% of assets at December 31, 2014. Borrowings increased from $512.3 million or 14.59% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $563.0 million or 15.87% of assets at December 31, 2014. The increase in borrowings was due to a $54.9 million increase in FHLB advances partially offset by a $4.2 million net decline in outstanding overnight “sweep account” balances linked to customer demand deposits.

Kearny Financial’s equity decreased from $494.7 million or 14.09% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $493.2 million or 13.90% of assets at December 31, 2014 and tangible equity decreased from $385.3 million or 10.98% of assets at June 30, 2014 to $384.0 million or 10.82% of assets at December 31, 2014. Most of the reduction in equity was related to the exercise of the remaining vested and outstanding options granted under the Company’s 2005 Stock Compensation Plan and Incentive Plan, which resulted in a $7.2 million reduction in equity. The decrease in stockholders’ equity also reflected an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Largely offsetting the reduction in equity during the six month period was net income of $5.1 million and, a reduction of unearned ESOP shares for plan shares earned during the period and a net decrease in Treasury stock resulting from the re-issuance of 107,382 shares at an average cost of $11.48 per share resulting from the exercise of stock options during the quarter.

Kearny Financial’s operating results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 are also set forth in Table 1. The Company’s reported earnings decreased from $10.2 million or 0.31% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $9.7 million or 0.28% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in net income was primarily due to increases in loan loss provisions and operating expenses, which were somewhat offset by an increase in net interest income.

Kearny Financial’s net interest income increased from $73.8 million or 2.25% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $76.2 million or 2.22% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in net interest income was due to a more significant increase in interest income compared to interest expense, in which the increase in interest income was related to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets as the yield on interest-earning assets declined by two basis points during the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ago six month period. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a six basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities during the six month period ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ago six month period. Accordingly, notwithstanding the increase in net interest income during the most recent twelve month period, Kearny Financial’s interest rate spread decreased from 2.35% during six month period ended December 31, 2013 to 2.27% during the six month period ended December 31, 2014.

Operating expenses increased from $63.8 million or 1.94% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $66.2 million or 1.93% of average assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Most of the increase in operating expenses was related an increase in salaries and employee benefit expense, which included increased compensation costs resulting from the acquisition of Atlas Bank on June 30, 2014. Overall, Kearny Financial’s updated ratios for net interest income and operating expenses provided for a fairly stable expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating expenses), as Kearny Financial’s expense coverage ratios equaled 1.16x for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and 1.15x for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Non-interest operating income (inclusive of gain on sale of loans) was slightly lower during the most recent twelve month period, decreasing from $7.1 million or 0.21% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $6.9 million or 0.20% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Overall, when factoring non-interest operating income into core earnings, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 79.75% (operating expenses, as a percent of net interest income and non-interest operating income) was slightly less favorable compared to the 78.86% efficiency ratio recorded for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014.

The Company’s updated earnings showed a slight decrease in non-operating income, which was due to a decrease in gains on sale of securities and a slightly higher loss on the sale of real estate owned. Non-operating merger related expenses reflected no change in the Company’s updated earnings. Overall, non-operating income decreased from $685,000 or 0.03% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $319,000 or 0.01% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Slightly higher loan loss provisions were established in the most recent twelve period, increasing from $3.4 million or 0.10% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 to $4.2 million or 0.12% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in loan loss provisions during the most recent twelve month period was largely related to loan growth, including growth of commercial rea estate loans and commercial business loans, and an increase in specific losses recognized on non-performing loans individually reviewed for impairment. As of December 31, 2014, the Company maintained an allowance for loan losses of $12.9 million equal to 50.37% of non-performing loans.

 

  2. Peer Group Financial Comparisons

Tables 2 and 3 present the financial characteristics and operating results for Kearny Financial, the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on financial results through December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Company and the Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the Original Appraisal. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, the Company’s updated interest-earning asset composition reflected

a higher concentration of cash and investments and a lower concentration of loans. Overall, the Company’s and the Peer Group’s updated interest-earning assets-to-assets ratios equaled 92.45% and 94.23%, respectively.

Kearny Financial’s updated funding composition continued to show fairly similar concentrations of deposits and borrowings relatively to the comparable Peer Group ratios. Updated interest-bearing liabilities-to-assets ratios equaled 85.34% and 85.69% for the Company and the Peer Group, respectively. Kearny Financial’s updated tangible equity-to-assets ratio equaled 10.82%, which remained slightly below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 11.84%. Overall, Kearny Financial’s updated interest-earning assets-to-interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio equaled 108.33%, which remained slightly below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 109.97%. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, the additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to increase Kearny Financial’s IEA/IBL ratio, as the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets will be lower due to the increase in capital realized from the offering and the net proceeds realized from the offering will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.

Updated growth rates for Kearny Financial and the Peer Group are based on annual growth rates for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Kearny Financial recorded an 8.87% increase in assets, which was primarily attributable to a 16.73% increase in loans supplemented with a 2.06% increase in cash and investments. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group equaled 18.36%, which continued to reflect acquisition growth involving the merger of United Financial Bancorp and Rockville Financial. The Peer Group’s asset growth was primarily attributable to a 22.66% increase in loans and was supplemented with a 9.46% increase in cash and investments.

On the funding side of the balance sheet, Kearny Financial’s asset growth was funded by deposit growth of 3.67% and a 41.86% increase in borrowings. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group was funded by a 16.17% increase in deposits and a 37.55% increase in borrowings. Updated tangible net worth growth rates showed an increase of 8.01% for the Company and a 10.24% increase for the Peer Group. As noted in the Original Appraisal, the Company’s post-conversion capital growth rate will initially be constrained by maintenance of a higher pro forma capital position. Dividend payments and stock repurchases, pursuant to regulatory limitations and guidelines, could also potentially slow the Company’s capital growth rate in the longer term following the stock offering.

Table 3 displays comparative operating results for Kearny Financial and the Peer Group, based on the Company’s and the Peer Group’s earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Kearny Financial and the Peer Group reported net income to average assets ratios of 0.28% and 0.85%, respectively. Higher ratios for net interest income and non-interest operating income continued to represent earnings advantages for the Peer Group, which were partially offset by earnings advantages maintained by the Company with respect to a lower operating expense ratio, a higher level of net gains and a lower effective tax rate.

In terms of core earnings strength, updated expense coverage ratios posted by Kearny Financial and the Peer Group equaled 1.15x and 1.41x, respectively. The Peer Group’s higher expense coverage continued to be supported by a higher net interest income ratio, which

was partially offset by the Company’s lower operating expense ratio. The Peer Group’s higher net interest income ratio was primarily realized through maintenance of a higher interest income ratio and, to a lesser extent, a slightly lower interest expense ratio.

Non-interest operating income remained a larger contributor to the Peer Group’s earnings, as such income amounted to 0.20% and 0.60% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Accordingly, taking non-interest operating income into account in assessing Kearny Financial’s core earnings strength relative to the Peer Group’s, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 79.75% remained higher or less favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 58.99%.

Net gains and losses realized from the sale of assets and other non-operating items continued to have a slightly more favorable impact on the Company’s earnings, as the Company reported net non-operating gains equal to 0.01% of average assets and the Peer Group reported a net non-operating loss equal to 0.10% of average assets. As set forth in the Original Appraisal, typically such gains and losses are discounted in valuation analyses as they tend to have a relatively high degree of volatility, and, thus, are not considered part of core operations. Extraordinary items remained a non-factor in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s updated earnings.

Loan loss provisions remained a comparable factor for the Company and Peer Group, with loan loss provisions established by the Company and the Peer Group equaling 0.12% and 0.08% of average assets, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 25.47% remained lower than the Peer Group’s effective tax rate of 30.65%. As set forth in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is equal to 35.0%.

The Company’s updated credit quality measures continued to imply a fairly similar degree of credit risk exposure relative to the Peer Group’s implied credit risk exposure. As shown in Table 4, the Company’s ratios for non-performing/assets and non-performing loans/loans equaled 0.76% and 1.38%, respectively, versus comparable measures of 1.12% and 1.40% for the Peer Group. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans equaled 50.37% and 84.10%, respectively. Loss reserves maintained as percent of loans receivable equaled 0.69% for the Company, versus 1.02% for the Peer Group. Net loan charge-offs remained a comparable factor for the Company and the Peer Group, as net loan charge-offs as a percent of loans equaled 0.17% for the Company and 0.16% for the Peer Group.

 

  3. Stock Market Conditions

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the performance of the broader stock market has been mixed. Following the first week of August 2014, the broader stock market generally drifted higher through the balance of August as investors were encouraged by the absence of more negative geopolitical news coming out of the Middle East and Ukraine along with a favorable report on housing starts for July. The S&P 500 closed above 2000 for the first time in late-August. Stocks traded higher to close out the first week of September, as weaker-than-expected job growth reflected in the August employment report lessened expectations of a

near term rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Escalating tensions in Ukraine and the upcoming meeting of the Federal Reserve weighed on the stock market heading into mid-September. Reassuring comments from the Federal Reserve that short-term rates will remain near zero for a “considerable time” contributed to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) closing at a record high following the Federal Reserve’s mid-September policy meeting. Concerns about the pace of China’s economic growth and some favorable economic reports on the U.S. economy provided for an up and down stock market at the close of third quarter.

Volatility continued to prevail in the broader stock market at the start of the fourth quarter of 2014, with concerns about a softening global economy contributing to a sell-off at the beginning of the fourth quarter that was followed by a rebound supported by a favorable employment report for September. Heightened concerns over slowing economic growth in Europe, a disappointing retail sales report for September and the uncertain outlook for third quarter earnings fueled a sharp decline in the broader stock market in mid-October, with the DJIA declining 5% over five trading sessions. Stocks rallied following the sell-off with such factors as some favorable third quarter earnings reports, increased expectations that the European Central Bank would increase stimulus, a rise in U.S. consumer sentiment in October and an increase in September housing starts contributing to the gains. The upward trend in the broader stock market continued into the first half of November, with the DJIA closing at record highs for five consecutive trading sessions following the mid-term election. The positive trend in the broader stock market continued during the second half of November and into early-December, as investors cheered China’s rate cut. Led by a rebound in big energy stocks and a favorable employment report for November, the DJIA and S&P 500 closed at record highs in early-December. Pressured by steepening declines in oil prices and fresh signs of economic weakness in Europe and Japan, stocks retreated heading into mid-December. Buoyed by the Federal Reserve’s pledge to be patient when it comes to raising interest rates and stronger-than-expected third quarter GDP growth, stocks rallied in the second half of December. The DJIA closed above 18000 for the first time on December 23, 2014 and posted gains for seven consecutive trading sessions through December 26, 2014. Stocks retreated at the close of 2014, which was largely attributable to profit taking.

Stocks tumbled at the start of 2015, as oil fell below $50 per barrel and fresh worries about Europe’s economy stoked fears of deflation. A rebound in oil prices supported a two day rebound in the broader stock market, which was followed by a downward trend through mid-January. Factors contributing to the downturn included a further drop in oil prices, a weak reading for December wage growth, disappointing retail sales for December and lackluster fourth quarter earnings results posted by some of the nation’s largest banks. After five consecutive sessions of losses, some upbeat reports on the U.S. economy and a rebound in energy shares contributed to a stock market rally heading into the second half of January. On January 16, 2015, the DJIA closed at 17511.57 or 5.77% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal and the NASDAQ closed at 4634.38 or 6.03% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal.

The market for thrift stocks has also been somewhat mixed since the date of the Original Appraisal, but, overall, thrift stocks underperformed the broader stock market. Thrift stocks edged higher along with the broader stock market during the last three weeks of August 2014, with the favorable report for July housing starts contributing to stock market gains in the thrift sector. Investors shrugged off the disappointing employment report for August, as the thrift

sector showed little movement during the first two weeks of September. Financial shares edged higher following the Federal Reserve’s mid-September policy meeting, based on comments that the Federal Reserve was staying the course regarding interest rate monetary policies. Concerns about a global economic slowdown dragged bank and thrift stocks lower at the close of the third quarter.

Financial shares traded in line with the broader stock market in early-October 2014, initially trading lower on the global economic outlook and then rebounding in response to September employment data showing stronger-than-expected job growth. The rebound was short-lived, as the financial sector participated in the broader stock market sell-off in mid-October. Third quarter earnings releases posted by some of the big banks showed net interest margins continued to be squeezed by low interest rates. Some favorable reports on September housing starts and existing home sales helped thrift stocks to rebound modestly following the sell-off. Thrift stocks participated in the broader stock market rally that extended in mid-November, as the Federal Reserve’s late-October policy statement repeated its pledge to keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future and indicated a brighter economic outlook. Signs of financial sector merger activity picking up also contributed to the gains in thrift stocks heading into mid-November. Thrift shares traded in a narrow range during the second half of November and then retreated at the start of December, as disappointing economic reports coming out of China and Europe impacted the broader stock market. November’s favorable employment report boosted the thrift sector at the close of the first week of December, which was followed by a downturn in financial shares going into mid-December as the prolonged slump in oil prices raised doubts about the health of the global economy and sparked a sell-off in the broader stock market. Financial shares rebounded along with the broader stock market during the second half of December, as the Federal Reserve’s comments on remaining patient with its approach to future rate increases were well received by bank investors.

Thrift stocks followed the broader stock market lower during the first half of January 2015, as a weak report for December retail sales and fourth quarter bank earnings showing net interest margins continued to be squeezed depressed financial stocks in general. The broader stock market rally at the start of the second half of January boosted thrift shares as well. On January 16, 2015, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 707.6, an increase of 0.63% since August 8, 2014.

Consistent with the performance of the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts were generally little changed since the date of the Original Appraisal. The relative large declines in the Peer Group’s P/E multiples since the date of the Original Appraisal were largely related to Northfield Bancorp’s P/E multiples going from relative high multiples to not meaningful (“NM”) P/E multiples. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the stock prices of nine out of the eleven Peer Group companies were higher as of January 16, 2015. A comparative pricing analysis of the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts is shown in the following table, based on closing stock market prices as of August 8, 2014 and January 16, 2015.

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, the “new issue” market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned issues like the Peer Group companies in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between the pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps most evident in the case of the price/book (“P/B”) ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value, whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio may reflect a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.

For purposes of comparable data in connection with the valuation of the Company, recent second-step conversion offerings are viewed to be the most relevant. As shown in Table 5, two second-step conversion offerings have been completed during the past three months. The average closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio of the two recent second-step conversion offerings equaled 87.50%. On average, the two second-step conversion offerings had price appreciation of 1.30% after their first week of trading. As of January 16, 2015, the two recent second-step conversion offerings showed an average price increase of 2.70% from their respective IPO prices.

Of the two recent second-step conversion offerings, Beneficial Bancorp’s second-step offering is viewed to be more comparable to Kearny Financial’s second-step offering. Beneficial Bancorp’s second-step offering closed on January 13, 2015. Gross

proceeds raised in Beneficial Bancorp’s second-step offering totaled $503.8 million, which was between the minimum and midpoint of the offering range. Beneficial Bancorp’s closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio equaled 88.18% and as of January 16, 2015 Beneficial Bancorp’s stock price was up 7.3% from its IPO price.

Shown in Table 6 are the current pricing ratios for the fully-converted offerings completed during the past three months that trade on NASDAQ or an Exchange, which includes both of the second-step conversion offerings. The current average P/TB ratio for the recent fully-converted offerings equaled 87.88%, based on closing stock prices as of January 16, 2015.

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, RP Financial’s analysis of stock market conditions also considered recent trading activity in Kearny Financial’s stock. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the trading price of the Company’s stock ranged from a low closing price of $12.99 on October 10, 2014 to a high closing price of $15.98 on August 19, 2014. As of January 16, 2015, the Company’s closing stock price was $13.68 per share which equaled an 11.00% decrease from Kearny Financial’s closing stock price of $15.37 per share as of the August 8, 2014 date of the Original Appraisal.

Summary of Adjustments

In the Original Appraisal, we made the following adjustments to Kearny Financial’s pro forma value based upon our comparative analysis to the Peer Group:

 

Key Valuation Parameters:

   PreviousValuation
Adjustment
Financial Condition    Slight Upward
Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings    Moderate Downward
Asset Growth    Slight Upward
Primary Market Area    No Adjustment
Dividends    No Adjustment
Liquidity of the Shares    No Adjustment
Marketing of the Issue    No Adjustment
Management    No Adjustment
Effect of Govt. Regulations and Regulatory Reform    No Adjustment

The factors concerning the valuation parameters of primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform did not change since the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, those parameters were not discussed further in this update.

In terms of balance sheet strength, on a pro forma basis the Company’s updated financial condition continued to warrant a slight upward adjustment, based on upward adjustments for the Company’s slightly more favorable credit quality, balance sheet liquidity and stronger pro forma capital position. A moderate downward adjustment remained appropriate for earnings, as the Company’s reported and core earnings remained less favorable compared to the Peer Group’s reported and core earnings. A slight upward adjustment remained appropriate for the Company’s asset growth, based on the Company’s higher pro forma capital position that

will provide the Company with greater leverage capacity compared to the Peer Group’s leverage capacity.

The general market for thrift stocks showed little change since the date of the Original Appraisal, with the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts increasing 0.63% since the date of the Original Appraisal compared to an increase of 5.77% in the DJIA. Similar to the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group were generally consistent with their pricing measures reflected in the Original Appraisal. Two second-step conversion offerings have been completed during the past three months. Pathfinder Bancorp’s second-step conversion offering was completed on October 17, 2014 and, as January 16, 2015, Pathfinder Bancorp’s stock price was down 1.9% from its IPO price. Beneficial Bancorp’s second-step conversion offering was completed on January 13, 2015, and, as January 16, 2015, Beneficial Bancorp’s stock price was up 7.3% from its IPO price. Kearny Financial’s stock price was down 11.00% since the date of the Original Appraisal and the $13.68 closing price on January 16, 2015 was slightly below the midpoint of the offering range as set forth in the Original Appraisal. Overall, in light of the recent volatility in the broader stock market and the decrease in Kearny Financial’s stock price since the date of Original Appraisal, marketing of the issue has been revised from no adjustment to a slight downward adjustment.

Overall, taking into account the foregoing factors, RP Financial concluded that as of January 16, 2015, the aggregate pro forma market value of Kearny Financial’s conversion stock equaled $893,152,780 at the midpoint equal to a 5.34% decrease from the Original Appraisal midpoint value. Based on the sale of a 77.13% ownership interest to the public, the midpoint of the public offering decreased from $725.0 million to $685.0 million. The MHC’s 77.13% ownership interest is consistent with the pro forma assumptions set forth in the prospectus, which is based on Kearny Financial’s shares outstanding as of December 31, 2014 adjusted for the the dilution resulting from net assets held by the MHC at December 31, 2014 (see Exhibit 4). The MHC’s ownership interest as of December 31, 2014 equaled 77.12%.

Valuation Approaches

In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the regulatory agencies, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing Kearny Financial’s to-be-issued stock — price/earnings (“P/E”), price/book (“P/B”), and price/assets (“P/A”) approaches — all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds.

In computing the pro forma impact of the offering and the related pricing ratios, the valuation parameters utilized in the Original Appraisal were updated with Kearny Financial’s financial data as of December 31, 2014.

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal continues to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. Also consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal incorporates a “technical” analysis of recently completed offerings, including principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the Original Appraisal) is the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds.

RP Financial also considered the trading price of Kearny Financial’s stock, which had a closing price of $13.68 as of January 16, 2015, a decrease of 11.00% from its closing price as of August 8, 2014. The $13.68 closing trading price implied a pro forma market capitalization for Kearny Financial of approximately $921.7 million, which is slightly above the midpoint of the updated valuation range.

The Company has adopted “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”), which causes earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the impact of ASC 718-40 in the valuation.

1. P/E Approach. The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple to the pro forma earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of the net proceeds. The Company’s reported earnings equaled $9.707 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. In deriving Kearny Financial’s core earnings, the adjustments made to reported earnings were to eliminate net gains on the sale of investments securities equal to $1.298 million, loss on sale of real estate owned equal to $588,000 and merger related expenses equal to $391,000. As shown below, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 35.0% for the earnings adjustments, the Company’s core earnings were estimated to equal $9.499 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

(1) Adjustments were tax effected at 35.0%

Based on Kearny Financial’s reported and estimated core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Company’s reported and core P/E multiples at the $893.2 million midpoint value equaled 80.12 times and 81.64 times, respectively. The Company’s updated reported and core P/E multiples provided for premiums of 386.17% and 406.77% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples of 16.48 times and 16.11 times, respectively (versus premiums of 349.11% and 362.18% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples as indicated in the Original Appraisal). The Company’s updated reported and core P/E multiples indicated premiums of 418.24% and 443.54% relative to the Peer Group’s median reported and core P/E multiples, which equaled 15.46 times and 15.02 times, respectively (versus premiums of 409.38% and 445.18% relative to the Peer Group’s median reported and core P/E multiples as

indicated in the Original Appraisal). The Company’s pro forma P/E ratios based on reported earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 69.63 times and 90.17 times, respectively, and based on core earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 70.99 times and 91.84 times, respectively. The Company’s implied conversion pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group’s pricing ratios are indicated in Table 7, and the pro forma calculations are detailed in Exhibits 2 and 3.

2. P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value being earnings. In applying the P/B approach, we considered both reported book value and tangible book value. Based on the $893.2 million midpoint value, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 81.10% and 90.01%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 123.42% and 136.48%, respectively, Kearny Financial’s updated ratios reflected a discount of 34.29% on a P/B basis and a discount of 34.05% on a P/TB basis (versus discounts of 31.38% and 31.12% from the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the median P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 118.96% and 129.34%, respectively, Kearny Financial’s updated ratios reflected discounts of 31.83% and 30.41% at the $893.2 million midpoint value (versus discounts of 27.19% and 29.87% from the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). At the maximum of the range, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 85.98% and 94.61%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the maximum of the range reflected discounts of 30.34% and 30.68%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the maximum of the range reflected discounts of 27.72% and 26.85%, respectively.

In addition to the fundamental analysis applied to the Peer Group, RP Financial utilized a technical analysis of recent conversion offerings. As indicated in the Original Appraisal, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion offerings are not the primary determinate of value. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the conversion funds (i.e., external funds versus deposit withdrawals).

As discussed previously, the two recently completed second-step offerings had an average forma price/tangible book ratio at closing of 87.50% (see Table 5). In comparison, the Company’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied premium of 2.87%. The average current P/TB ratio of the two recently completed second-step offerings, based on closing stock prices as of January 16, 2015 equaled 89.85%. In comparison to the current average P/TB ratio for the two recent second-step conversion offerings, the Company’s P/TB ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied premium of 0.18%.

As previously noted, of the two recently completed second-step offering, Beneficial Bancorp’s was viewed to be more comparable to Kearny Financial’s second-step offering. Beneficial Bancorp’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at closing equaled 88.18%. In comparison, the Company’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied premium of 2.08%. Beneficial Bancorp’s current P/TB ratio, based on closing stock prices as of January 16, 2014, equaled 94.62%. In comparison to Beneficial Bancorp’s current

P/TB ratio, the Company’s P/TB ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 4.87%.

3. P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally not as a reliable indicator of market value, as investors do not place significant weight on total assets as a determinant of market value. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings – which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the $893.2 million midpoint value Kearny Financial’s pro forma P/A ratio equaled 21.49%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/A ratio of 15.65%, Kearny Financial’s P/A ratio indicated a premium of 37.32% (versus a premium of 45.30% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 14.02%, Kearny Financial’s P/A ratio at the $893.2 million midpoint value indicated a premium of 53.28% (versus a premium of 65.28% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal).

Valuation Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of January 16, 2015, the estimated aggregate pro forma valuation of the shares of the Company to be issued and outstanding at the end of the conversion offering – including (1) newly-issued shares representing the MHC’s current ownership interest in the Company; (2) exchange shares issued to existing public shareholders of the Company; and (3) shares issued to the Foundation – was $893,152,780 at the midpoint, equal to 89,315,278 shares at a per share value of $10.00. The resulting range of value and pro forma shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:

Establishment of the Exchange Ratio

Conversion regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority shareholders are entitled to exchange the public shares for newly issued shares in the fully converted company. The Boards of Directors of the MHC and KRNY have independently determined the exchange ratio, which has been designed to preserve the current aggregate

percentage ownership in the Company held by the public shareholders. The exchange ratio to be received by the existing minority shareholders of the Company will be determined at the end of the offering, based on the total number of shares sold in the subscription, community and syndicated or firm commitment underwritten offerings and the final appraisal. Based on the valuation conclusion herein, the resulting offering value and the $10.00 per share offering price, the indicated exchange ratio at the midpoint is 1.3179 shares for every one public share held by public shareholders. Furthermore, based on the offering range of value, the indicated exchange ratio is 1.1202 at the minimum and1.5156 at the maximum. RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange of newly issued Company shares for the shares held by the public shareholders or on the proposed exchange ratio.
