Management’s Discussion of Quarterly Operating Results

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $115.2 million compared to $112.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $98.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Mr. Lubow commented, “We continue to have a significant loan repricing opportunity that we anticipate will continue through 2027.

Our substantial liquidity position, which includes $1.9 billion of cash, provides us with the flexibility to take advantage of lending opportunities as they arise. Dime’s asset liability management profile, which is underpinned by our cash position and a growing floating rate loan portfolio, positions us well for a variety of interest rate scenarios.”

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