Dime Community Bancshares (DCOM) posted a strong Q2-25. Net income rose to $29.7 mm (up 61% YoY) and net income available to common shareholders reached $27.9 mm, lifting basic EPS to $0.64 from $0.43. Six-month earnings climbed to $51.2 mm (YTD EPS $1.09).

• Net interest income jumped 30% YoY to $98.1 mm as interest income expanded 5% while interest expense fell 17% to $69.5 mm, underpinning margin expansion.
• The provision for credit losses increased to $9.2 mm (vs $5.6 mm), but the allowance now covers $93.2 mm of expected losses.
• Non-interest income was steady at $11.6 mm; BOLI income doubled, offsetting lower service fees.
• Non-interest expense rose 8% to $60.3 mm, driven by compensation and data-processing spend.

On the balance sheet, total assets slipped 1% from year-end to $14.21 bn as cash declined to $1.16 bn. Loan balances were essentially flat at $10.78 bn net, while deposits inched up to $11.69 bn; non-interest bearing deposits represent 29%. FHLB advances were pared by $100 mm to $508 mm, and AOCI improved $7.1 mm, helping stockholders’ equity climb 2.5% to $1.43 bn. The company repurchased ~261 k shares and paid common dividends of $10.9 mm during the quarter.

Operating cash flow was a positive $88.5 mm YTD; free cash was redeployed into BOLI and securities, while financing outflows reflected debt pay-downs and dividends. Overall, earnings momentum, lower funding costs and stronger capital paint a favorable picture, though higher credit provisioning and expense growth warrant monitoring.
