Dime Community Bancshares reported a net loss of $22.2 million for Q4 2024, primarily due to a loss on the sale of securities and other expenses. However, adjusted net income totaled $17.4 million, reflecting an increase compared to the previous quarter and the year-ago quarter. The net interest margin expanded, and core deposits increased.
Net loss of $22.2 million, or $(0.54) per diluted common share.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) totaled $17.4 million, or $0.42 per share.
Total deposits increased by $268.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2024.
Net interest margin increased to 2.79% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Dime Community Bancshares anticipates that the full quarter impact of the securities repositioning completed in November will positively impact the NIM in 2025, and adjusted non-interest expense base was relatively flat in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter.
