In addition, we successfully executed on several important initiatives in the fourth quarter, including a follow-on common equity offering. The proceeds from the offering were utilized to re-position our available-for-sale securities portfolio and Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) portfolio and supplement our capital base. These transactions will contribute towards a stronger balance sheet, enhanced earnings power and support future growth. I would like to thank all of our employees for their tremendous efforts throughout the year that led to substantial year-over-year growth in core deposits and business loans as well as the Bank achieving an “Outstanding” rating on our recent Community Reinvestment Act examination.”

Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) totaled $0.42 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 45% versus the prior quarter and an increase of 8% versus the year ago quarter.

Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

​

Acceleration in Core Deposit Growth Drives Increase in Quarterly Net Interest Margin to 2.50%

​

Balance Sheet Well Positioned to Benefit From Federal Reserve Rate Cuts

​

Hauppauge, NY, October 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCOM) (the “Company” or “Dime”), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $11.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and $13.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

​

Stuart H. Lubow, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, stated, “Strong growth in low-cost core deposits drove a significant linked quarter expansion in the Net Interest Margin. Importantly, following the recent 50 basis point reduction in the Federal Funds rate, we lowered deposit costs and expect to benefit from these actions in the fourth quarter and beyond. Since the Federal Reserve rate cut in mid-September, the spread between the weighted average rate on loans and core deposits has improved by approximately 15 basis points. We anticipate the full quarter impact of this spread improvement to drive continued Net Interest Margin expansion in the fourth quarter.”

​

Mr. Lubow commented, “During the third quarter, our Business loan portfolio increased by over $120 million and we continue to have strong pipelines in our Middle Market and Healthcare verticals. Compared to the prior quarter, the level of net charge-offs and criticized and classified loans remained stable and we continued to prudently build our allowance for credit losses to total loans and risk-based capital levels.  In conclusion, I am extremely proud of our employees for their unwavering focus on our customers and enabling us to be the premier business bank on Greater Long Island.”

Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2024 Included:

​

●Total deposits increased $389 million compared to the second quarter of 2024;

●Core deposits (excluding brokered and time deposits) increased $505 million compared to the second quarter of 2024;

●The cost of total deposits declined by 4 basis point versus the prior quarter;

●The net interest margin increased to 2.50% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.41% for the prior quarter;

●The loan to deposit ratio declined to 95.4% at the end of the third quarter compared to 98.2% for the prior quarter;

●Net charge-offs to average loans was 0.15% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 0.14% for prior quarter;

●The allowance for credit losses to total loans increased to 0.78% at the end of the third quarter compared to 0.72% for the prior quarter; and

Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. Reports Strong Fourth Quarter 2022 Results With Earnings Per Share Increasing By 19% On a Year-Over-Year Basis ​

Robust Loan Originations Drive Over $1.3 Billion in Loan Growth for Fiscal Year 2022

Fourth Quarter Results Highlighted by Strong Non Interest Income Growth, Prudent Expense Management and Improved Credit Quality

​

​

​

​

Hauppauge, NY, January 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCOM) (the “Company” or “Dime”), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $145.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, or $3.73 per diluted common share, compared to $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 or $2.45 per diluted common share.

​

Kevin M. O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, stated, “As we close the book on 2022, we can reflect on an extremely successful year for our Company. Reported net income available to common shareholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 increased by 50% on a year-over-year basis. Importantly, we delivered consistent financial results throughout 2022 as demonstrated by an annual return on assets in excess of 1.20% and an efficiency ratio below 50%. We made numerous investments in our business and people over the year, including a buildout of our middle market commercial lending operations. Finally, we were very proud to achieve an overall “Outstanding” rating for our Community Reinvestment Act rating from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”

​

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, net income available to common stockholders was $38.2 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, compared to $37.7 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $33.5 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

​

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2022 Included:

​

●Total loans held for investment, net, increased by $450 million or 18% on an annualized basis versus the linked quarter;

●Total business loan balances increased by $215 million or 43% on an annualized basis versus the linked quarter;

●Non-interest income increased to $9.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of a $1.4 million gain on sale of a branch property in the third quarter, non-interest income during the third quarter of 2022 was $8.0 million. The increase in non-interest income was driven by customer-related loan swap revenue and SBA gain on sale revenue;

●Non-interest expense to average assets remained well controlled at 1.56% for the fourth quarter, compared to 1.54% for the prior quarter and 1.64% for the year-ago quarter; and

●Credit quality continues to be strong with non-performing assets and loans 90 days past due and accruing declining by 22% versus the linked quarter and representing only 0.26% of total assets as of December 31, 2022.

Net Interest Margin Expands by 10 Basis Points Versus the Prior Quarter

​

​

​

Hauppauge, NY, July 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCOM) (the “Company” or “Dime”), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $36.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, or $0.94 per diluted common share, compared to $32.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and $49.5 million or $1.19 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

​

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders (non-GAAP) totaled $39.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, or $1.01 per diluted share. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 included $2.9 million of aggregate pre-tax adjustments related to loss on extinguishment of debt and severance expense (see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” tables at the end of this news release).

​

Kevin M. O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, stated, “During the second quarter, we experienced record core loan growth of over $400 million driven by robust originations. The high level of non-interest-bearing deposits on our balance sheet allowed us to keep our deposit costs at low levels, and contributed to net interest margin expansion. In addition, we saw a rebound in non-interest income as customer-related loan swap revenue picked up. We continue to prioritize prudent expense management as demonstrated by a core efficiency ratio of 48% on a year-to-date basis.”

​

“In addition to producing strong financial returns with year-to-date return on assets of approximately 1.2%, I am extremely proud of our employee base for their unwavering focus on being the premier community-based business bank on Greater Long Island. In this regard, I am extremely proud that we recently received an overall Outstanding Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) rating from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”

​

​

●Total loans held for investment, net, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, increased by 18% on an annualized basis versus the linked quarter;

●The net interest margin expanded by 10 basis points versus the linked quarter;

●The cost of deposits remained well-controlled, increasing by only 5 basis points versus the linked quarter;

●Non-interest income increased to $12.1 million in the second quarter, compared to $7.2 million for the first quarter. The increase in non-interest income was due to an increase in customer-related loan swap income, SBA gain on sale revenue and BOLI income;

●Credit quality continues to be strong with non-performing assets and loans 90 days past due and accruing remaining stable and representing only 0.30% of total assets as of June 30, 2022;

●The Company repurchased 717,644 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 1.8% of shares outstanding at the beginning of the period, at a weighted average price of $31.91 per share; and

Quarterly Net Income to Common Stockholders Increases by $55.6 Million on a Year-Over-Year Basis

​

Non-Interest-Bearing Deposits Increase to 38% of Total Deposits

Positioning the Company Well for a Rising Interest Rate Scenario

​

Net Interest Margin Expands by 5 Basis Points Versus the Prior Quarter

​

​

​

Hauppauge, NY, April 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCOM) (the “Company” or “Dime”), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $32.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, or $0.82 per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $33.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, or $0.83 per diluted common share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net loss available to common stockholders was $22.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share.

​

Kevin M. O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, stated, “During the first quarter, we executed well on each of our strategic plan priorities – growing non-interest-bearing deposits, managing our cost of funds appropriately and prioritizing net interest margin expansion, prudent expense discipline, and maintaining solid asset quality. Importantly, we recently announced several key hires in our lending division by capitalizing on merger-related disruption in our marketplace. As the year progresses, we expect loan growth and non-interest income to pick-up.
