Approach to Real Estate Lending: Low Leverage & Shared Philosophy 11 Our Conservative Lending Profile Has Served Us Well Over Many Cycles ▪ Since 1929, we have a long history of lending in metro New York City – Historically, credit quality has outperformed the industry and peers • From 2001-2023, median NCOs to average loans has been 4 bps compared to 52 bps for the industry • Median noncurrent loans to total loans has been 37 bps compared to 130 bps for the industry over the same period ▪ The key to our success is shared client philosophy – Our clients tend to have low leverage (average LTV is <36%) and strong cash flows (DCR is 1.8x for multifamily and CRE1 ) – Multigenerational– our clients tend to build portfolio of properties; generally, buy and hold – Borrowers are not transaction oriented – average real estate loan seasoning is over 8 years, which is generally passed the 5-year reset for multifamily and investor CRE loans – We do not attract clients who are short term borrowers, who want funds on future cash flows, or who are aggressively trying to covert rent regulated units into market rents 1 Based on annual loan reviews

Multifamily Lending: Specialized Focus that Yields Minimal Losses Our Lending Looks More Like This Generally, Not Like This 12 1 As of December 31, 2023 ▪ $2.7 billion loan portfolio; Average loan size is only $1.2 million ▪ Strong sponsorship with weighted average equity of 56%; Weighted average debt service coverage ratio is 1.8x ▪ ~67% of the Multifamily loan portfolio contains rent regulated units1

▪ All loans underwritten with a 250-300 bps increase in rates at origination; especially when rates were low ▪ Debt coverage ratios (DCR) based on current rents; not projected cash flows ▪ Underwritten Net Operating Income (NOI) at origination includes forecasted increases in expenses and potential increase interest rates, which limits overall leverage ▪ Cap rates were underwritten to 5%+ when rates were low ▪ Annual loan reviews performed; cash flows updated annually and a trend analysis on the portfolio is performed ▪ 30-year amortization ▪ Loans generally reset every 5 years (FHLB Advance rate + 225 bps) 13 Multifamily: Conservative Underwriting Standards Portfolio Data Points Portfolio Size: $2.7 billion Average Loan Size: $1.2 million Current Weighted Average Coupon: 4.81% Weighted Average LTV: 44% % of Loans with LTV >75% 0% Weighted Average DCR: 1.8x NPLs/Loans 0.18% Annual NCOs since 2014 < 5 bps 30-89 Day Delinquent/Loans 0.18% Criticized and Classified Loans/Loans 26 bps Underwriting Standards at Origination

Actual Repricing 14 Multifamily: Manageable Repricing Risk ▪ During 2023, $296 million of loans repriced ~196 bps higher to 6.61%; all loans repriced to contractual rate – All loans are current – $0.8 million is classified ▪ In 2024, $310 million of Multifamily loans are forecasted to reprice 198 bps higher to a weighted average rate of 6.43%1 ▪ Example of a typical 2023 loan repricing: – Income and expense increased at an approximate 4% CAGR – Rate resets to FHLB 5-yr advance + 225 bps – NOI sensitivity provided for illustrative purposes only; actual expense CAGR has been 4% 1 Based on underlying index value on December 31, 2023 Key Data Points At Origination At Reprice Date ($000s) 2019 Stressed CAGR 2023 Purchase Price: $7,500 $7,500 Loan Amount: $4,250 $3,824 $3,824 LTV: 56.7% 51.0% Rate: 3.75% 5.75% 6.45% Annual Payment: $159 $301 $324 Income: 725 848 4% 848 Expense: 362 423 4% 423 NOI: $363 $425 $425 DCR: 2.28 1.41 1.31 NOI Sensitivity CAGR 2023 CAGR 2023 Loan Balance: $3,824 $3,824 Repricing Rate: 6.45% 6.45% Annual Payment: $324 $324 Income: 4% 848 4% 848 Expense: 6% 458 8% 492 NOI: $390 $356 DCR: 1.20 1.10

16 Multifamily: Minimal Interest Only; High Quality Performance 1 Excludes co-ops ▪ Interest only loans are typically only offered to relationship customers who have a prior history with the Bank ▪ A client requests an interest only loan when cash flows early in the project are low and will increase after improvements occur ▪ Significant equity or multiple properties are offsetting factors ▪ Loans are generally interest only for 1-3 years and then become fully amortizing ▪ Unwritten based a fully amortizing basis ▪ Credit performance is stellar with no delinquencies greater than 30 days, no criticized, and no classified loans Interest Only Loan Details Key Data Points Total interest only loans $262.8 million Weighted average LTV 49.1% Weighted average DCR 2.6x Amount of loans with a DCR <1.2x $01 30-89 Day Delinquent/Loans $0 Criticized and Classified Loans/Loans $0 Amount of loans to become fully amortizing in 2024 • $137.2 million • DCR of 3.5x current and ~2.6x when fully amortized

Office CRE – Most of the Loans Are Outside of Manhattan Our Lending Looks More Like This Not Like This 18 50 Hudson Years, Photo by Michael Young ▪ Total office portfolio of $257 million; Average loan size is $3.3 million ▪ Weighted average LTV of 50% and a weighted average debt service coverage ratio of 1.8x ▪ No office loans are nonaccrual and about 26% of the portfolio will have upward rate adjustments through 2024 given today’s interest rates ▪ Minimal exposure to Manhattan office buildings; over one third is medical

▪ Manhattan office buildings exposure is only 0.6% of net loans Low Office Lending Concentration Versus Peers 1 Based on most recent disclosure; Peers include: BKU, DCOM, FLIC, HNVR, NFBK, NYCB, PFS, and VLY 19 Office Loans as a Percent of Total Loans1 2.5% 3.7% 4.0% 4.5% 5.0% 5.6% 7.1% 7.5% 7.6% Peer 1 FFIC Peer 2 Peer 3 Peer 4 Peer 4 Peer 6 Peer 7 Peer 8 Office Portfolio Mix • 46% of the portfolio is multi tenant • 37% is medial/health care • 17% is single tenant

20 Retail CRE: Essential to Local Communities Our Lending Looks More Like This Generally, Not Like This ▪ $0.9B portfolio with 42% located in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx ▪ We tend to lend to shopping centers and strip malls versus larger malls ▪ Our average retail CRE loan is $2.4MM with average seasoning over 6 years ▪ Weighted average LTV1 of 53% with one loan of $0.9MM having an LTV over 75% ▪ Weighted average debt service coverage ratio is ~1.86x2 ▪ No delinquent loans and only 1% of this portfolio is on the watchlist ▪ Approximately 16% of this portfolio will mature or reprice in 2024 1 LTVs are based on value at origination 2 Based on most recent Annual Loan Review Data as of June 30, 2023

Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and Core Earnings 33 Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option. Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision, Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and noninterest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison, to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as this measure is commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes this measure facilitates comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison, to its competitors. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
