Dime Community reports Q4 adjusted EPS 79c, consensus 71c

Reports Q4 revenue $124M, consensus $117.13M. Stuart Lubow, President and 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.”
