ConnectOne Bancorp Q3 2025 Earnings Report
ConnectOne Bancorp reported strong third quarter 2025 results, driven by the successful integration of The First of Long Island Corporation (FLIC) merger, leading to significant increases in net income, EPS, and key profitability ratios.
Key Takeaways
ConnectOne Bancorp delivered a robust performance in the third quarter of 2025, with net income available to common stockholders reaching $39.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.78. This significant improvement was largely attributed to a $30.2 million reduction in the provision for credit losses, a $23.1 million increase in net interest income, and a $14.2 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by increased income tax expense. The company's net interest margin expanded to 3.11%, and credit quality remained solid with nonperforming assets at 0.28%.
