Total Deposits Increased by $316 Million Versus Year-End 2022

Results Marked By Prudent Expense Control and Increases in Liquidity and Risk-Based Regulatory Capital Ratios

Announces Hiring of 4 Deposit Focused Groups, Capitalizing on Recent Market Disruption

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCOM) (the “Company” or “Dime”), the parent company of Dime Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income available to common stockholders of $35.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, or $0.92 per diluted common share, compared to $32.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 or $0.82 per diluted common share.

Kevin M. O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, stated, “Despite the volatile environment in the first quarter, including the failure of two sizable banks, Dime increased earnings per share by 12.2% on a year-over-year basis. Importantly, we grew deposits, and increased our on balance sheet liquidity and regulatory capital ratios versus year-end levels. The granularity of our deposit base is evidenced by non-insured deposits (excludes deposits with pass through insurance and collateralized deposits) representing only 30% of total deposits at the end of the first quarter. Our business model is that of a plain-vanilla community commercial bank and we are well positioned to continue growing our franchise one relationship at a time."

Stuart H. Lubow, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, stated, “The recent disruption in our marketplace caused by the failure of a local competitor has provided a significant opportunity for Dime to grow our deposit franchise. We are pleased to announce that over the course of the last few weeks we have hired four seasoned deposit-focused Groups, who were previously employed with Signature Bank.”

Highlights for the First Quarter of 2023 Included:

  • Cash and due from banks was $663 million at the end of the first quarter, representing a $494 million increase versus year-end. Cash and total securities, as a percent of total assets, was 15.9% at the end of the first quarter, compared to 12.9% at year-end;
  • The ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to average total deposits for the first quarter of 2023 was 32%, compared to 36% for the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Total loans held for investment, net, increased by $170 million or 6% on an annualized basis versus the linked quarter;
  • Total Business Loans increased by $47 million or 8.6% on an annualized basis versus the linked quarter;
  • Non-interest expense to average assets improved to 1.41% for the first quarter, compared to 1.56% for the prior quarter and 1.64% for the year-ago quarter;
  • Credit quality continues to be strong with non-performing assets and loans 90 days past due and accruing declining by 8% versus the linked quarter and representing only 0.23% of total assets as of March 31, 2023; and
  • The Company’s Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio of 10.39% was 16 basis points higher than year-end levels.

Management’s Discussion of Quarterly Operating Results

(Dollars in millions) Q1 2023 Q4 2022    Q1 2022

Deposits

Period end total deposits at March 31, 2023 were $10.57 billion, compared to $10.25 billion at December 31, 2022. The ratio of non-insured deposits (excluding deposits with pass through insurance and collateralized deposits) to total deposits was 30% at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $9.0 million during the first quarter of 2023, $9.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $7.2 million during the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of $1.4 million of net loss on sale of securities and other assets, non-interest income for the first quarter would have been $10.4 million. CEO O’Connor stated, “We had a strong first quarter for non-interest income, driven by increases in customer-related loan swap revenue.”

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $47.5 million during the first quarter of 2023, $50.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $49.9 million during the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of severance expense, and amortization of other intangible assets, adjusted non-interest expense was $47.1 million during the first quarter of 2023, $50.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $49.3 million during the first quarter of 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” tables at the end of this news release).

The ratio of non-interest expense to average assets was 1.41% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 1.56% during the linked quarter and 1.64% for the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of severance expense, and amortization of other intangible assets, the ratio of adjusted non-interest expense to average assets was 1.40% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 1.55% during the linked quarter and 1.62% for the first quarter of 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” tables at the end of this news release).

The efficiency ratio was 50.1% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 47.7% during the linked quarter and 51.8% during the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of severance expense, amortization of other intangible assets and the net loss on sale of securities and other assets the adjusted efficiency ratio was 48.9% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 47.3% during the linked quarter and 51.2% during the first quarter of 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” tables at the end of this news release).

Income Tax Expense

The reported effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 26.8%, compared to 27.5% for the fourth quarter of 2022, and 28.1% for the first quarter of 2022.

Credit Quality

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2023 were $31.5 million, 8% lower than the prior quarter.

A credit loss recovery of $3.6 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2023, compared to a credit loss provision of $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, and a credit loss recovery of $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2022. The credit loss recovery in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily associated with a reduction in reserves on pooled Purchased Credit Deteriorated ("PCD”) loans that were acquired as part of the Company’s merger of equals transaction in 2021.

Capital Management

The Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to be in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2023.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 24,813 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average price of $29.33 per share.

Dividends per common share were $0.24 during the first quarter of 2023.

On March 9, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared that the next quarterly cash dividend payable on April 24, 2023 (to common stockholders of record as of April 17, 2023) would be $0.25 per share. The dividend increase reflects Dime’s strong financial position.

Book value per common share was $27.70 at March 31, 2023 compared to $27.30 at December 31, 2022.

Tangible common book value per share (which represents common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the number of shares outstanding) was $23.52 at March 31, 2023 compared to $23.09 at December 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss, the adjusted tangible common book value per share was $26.06 at March 31, 2023 compared to $25.54 at December 31, 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” tables at the end of this news release).

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 provide 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 severance:
