HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2026 (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 $103.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, or $2.36 per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $21.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $30.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, compared to $25.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and net loss available to common stockholders of $22.2 million, or ($0.54) per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders (non-GAAP) was $34.5 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.79 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.61 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and $0.42 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables at the end of this news release).

Stuart H. Lubow, President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company, stated, "During the fourth quarter, we executed on all aspects of our strategic plan, including: substantial growth in core deposits and business loans, a reduction in the CRE concentration ratio, an improvement in return metrics and efficiency levels, and maintenance of solid asset quality levels. Total fourth quarter revenue of $124 million was a record for Dime, and we anticipate continued revenue growth in the years ahead as we have a significant loan repricing opportunity that will continue through 2027. Our organic growth strategy and the hiring of teams is paying dividends as evidenced by an 88% year-over-year increase in adjusted diluted EPS to $0.79 per share. Thanks to the hard work of all of our bankers and corporate staff, Dime has firmly established itself as a commercial and private banking powerhouse."

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2025 included:

  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.79 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $0.61 per share for the third quarter of 2025;

Management's Discussion of Quarterly Operating Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $112.3 million compared to $103.4 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $91.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Mr. Lubow commented, "We continue to have a significant loan repricing opportunity that will continue through 2027. Additionally, growth in core deposits and business loans will benefit us over time as we continue to grow customers and hire productive bankers. Our substantial liquidity position, which includes $2.35 billion of cash, provides us with the flexibility to be opportunistic and take advantage of lending opportunities as they may arise."

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company's management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude pre-tax income and expenses associated with the fair value change in equity securities and loans held for sale, loss (gain) on sale of securities and other assets, severance, the FDIC special assessment, loss on extinguishment of debt and loss due to pension settlement. The non-GAAP financial measures also include taxes related to the surrender of BOLI assets.

Vorsicht, geheim!
2026 startet mit einem Paukenschlag: Der DAX outperformt den US-Markt, Nachzügler holen auf. Ein erstes Signal, dass der Bullenmarkt an Breite gewinnt. Während viele Anleger weiter auf die großen Tech-Namen setzen, hat sich im Hintergrund längst ein Umschwung vollzogen. Der Fokus verschiebt sich weg von überteuerten KI-Highflyern hin zu soliden Qualitätswerten aus der zweiten Reihe.

Anleger, die jetzt clever agieren, setzen nicht auf das, was war, sondern auf das, was kommt. Unternehmen mit gesunder Bilanz, unterschätztem Potenzial und begrenztem Abwärtsrisiko könnten 2026 zu den großen Gewinnern zählen. Die Gefahr einer schärferen Korrektur bleibt real, gerade für passiv aufgestellte Investoren.

In unserem neuen Spezialreport stellen wir fünf Aktien vor, die genau jetzt das Potenzial für überdurchschnittliche Renditen bieten. Stark, günstig und bislang kaum im Fokus.
