(holding company for Kearny Bank) filed a Form 8-K on January 22, 2026 announcing its financial results for the period ended December 31, 2025 via a press release (Exhibit 99.1). The press release is included as an exhibit but is not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act.

Key Details

• Filing date: January 22, 2026; reporting period: quarter ended December 31, 2025.
• Press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 (announcing results); slide presentation attached as Exhibit 99.2 (incorporated by reference).

Why It Matters

• The press release and slide deck provide the company’s latest quarterly results and management presentation materials—key inputs for evaluating recent performance and near-term outlook.
• The declared dividend is a direct return to shareholders and establishes the payment and record dates investors must meet to receive it.
• The investor slide deck being incorporated suggests management will be actively communicating results to the market; the press release being furnished (not filed) limits certain legal implications but still delivers the substantive financial updates.
