CEO Succession
The Company announced today that Kevin M. O’Connor will step down as CEO effective August 31, 2023 and that Stuart H. Lubow, the Company’s current President and Chief Operating Officer, will succeed Mr. O’Connor as CEO. Mr. O’Connor will continue to serve on the Board of Directors until December 31, 2023. Mr. Lubow will be added to the Board of Directors simultaneous with his appointment as CEO.
Mr. O’Connor has been CEO of the Company since Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (“Bridge”) and Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (“Dime”) merged on February 1, 2021 (the “Merger”). Before the Merger, Mr. O’Connor was President and CEO of Bridge. He joined Bridge in October 2007 as President and Chief Executive Officer and director. Mr. Lubow has been President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company since the Merger. Before the Merger, Mr. Lubow served as President of Dime. Before joining Dime in 2017, Mr. Lubow was a founder, Chairman, President, and CEO of each of Community National Bank and Community State Bank. Mr. Lubow has prior community bank CEO experience of over 17 years.
"Under Kevin’s leadership, we successfully completed a transformational merger, creating the premier business bank on Greater Long Island, driving superior financial results for shareholders and providing tremendous support to our customers and communities," said Executive Chairman, Kenneth J. Mahon, on behalf of the Company's and Bank's Boards of Directors. "We are grateful for Kevin’s strong leadership and are very excited to promote Stu Lubow to CEO. The appointment of Stu as CEO has been under consideration since the beginning of the year and is the culmination of a thoughtful and well-planned succession process. Stu has a proven track record throughout his career of delivering value for customers and shareholders alike. Most recently, he was instrumental in the hiring and onboarding of seven deposit- focused Groups that are already contributing to significant customer growth. The Board of Directors is confident that he will provide a steady, uninterrupted mission and culture of service to our staff and customers. Having admirably weathered the challenges caused by the recent bank failures, evidenced by an increase in deposits on a year-to-date basis, we believe now is the ideal time to execute on the succession plan. We are very excited about our future under Stu’s leadership.”
“I applaud and congratulate the accomplishments of our entire team and am proud of what we have built together. Our focus on developing and strengthening relationships while supporting and serving our communities has served our constituents well, leading to our recognition as the preeminent community bank in our footprint,” said Kevin O’Connor. “I want to thank and commend all of my colleagues, past and present, and personally wish Stu and the entire Dime team well. I have full confidence that they will reach greater heights as they continue building on our past successes.”
“I am thankful for the opportunity the Board has granted me to lead Dime and would also like to express my gratitude to Kevin for his leadership and support over the years,” said Stuart H. Lubow. “Dime has a proud history of being rooted in the communities we serve, and I look forward to working with all of our dedicated employees to add value to our customers and our shareholders. I will draw upon my prior CEO experience to lead Dime into the next chapter of our growth as the preeminent community bank in our footprint.”

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 loss on equity securities, net loss on sale of securities and other assets, severance and loss on extinguishment of debt:
