Insights

Dime shows materially stronger earnings power driven by NIM expansion, deposit growth and business‑loan growth; watch credit trends and Q4 NIM.

The company reported net income available to common stockholders of $25.8 million and diluted EPS of $0.59 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, up from $11.5 million and $0.29 a year earlier on an adjusted basis; net interest margin rose to 3.01% and core deposits increased by $971.9 million year‑over‑year. These facts indicate the primary earnings driver is net interest income expansion from higher loan yields and strong core deposit growth, supported by active loan originations and linked‑quarter business loan growth of $160.5 million.

Key dependencies and risks are explicit in the reported figures: credit provisioning increased to $13.3 million and nonperforming loans rose to $72.1 million, which could pressure future earnings if credit trends worsen. Expense growth reflects hiring and branch expansion that should lift future revenue but keeps the efficiency ratio elevated at 53.8%. Management cites further NIM expansion in the fourth quarter tied to a recent Federal Reserve rate cut and loan repricing opportunities through 2027, which will materially affect forward margins.

Concrete items to watch over the near term are fourth‑quarter net interest margin realization, any change in credit metrics (criticized assets and nonperforming loans) reported in the upcoming Form 10‑Q, and the trajectory of business loan growth and core deposit retention as branches open in early 2026. Also monitor the common equity tier 1 ratio at 11.53% and the company’s stated hiring outcomes versus revenue contribution over the next 12 months.

Quarterly Net Interest Margin Surpasses 3% And Is Anticipated to Increase Further in the Fourth Quarter

Continued Strong Growth in Core Deposits and Business Loans

Management’s Discussion of Quarterly Operating Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $103.4 million compared to $98.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $79.9 million for the third quarter of 2024. The Net Interest Margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.01% compared to 2.98% for the second quarter of 2025 and 2.50% for the third quarter of 2024.

Mr. Lubow commented, “Since the Federal Reserve rate cut in mid-September, the spread between the weighted average rate on loans and deposits has improved by approximately 10 basis points. We anticipate the full quarter impact of this spread improvement to drive continued NIM expansion in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we continue to have a significant loan repricing opportunity that will continue through 2027. Finally, core deposit growth and a continued focus on business loan growth will benefit our NIM over time as we continue to grow customers and hire productive bankers.”

Loan Portfolio

The ending weighted average rate (“WAR”) on the total loan portfolio was 5.37% at September 30, 2025, a 3 basis point increase compared to the ending WAR of 5.34% on the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2025.

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, net gain on sale of securities and other assets, severance, loss on extinguishment of debt and loss due to pension settlement.
