Tompkins Financial reports Q3 EPS ($2.35), consensus ($2.22)

Reports Q3 tangible book value per share $36.01. Tompkins President and CEO, Stephen Romaine, commented, “During the quarter we elected to proactively reposition the balance sheet which will improve securities revenue and we expect that the improved revenue will exceed the value of the loss recognized in the third quarter through time. We estimate securities revenue to improve by approximately $15.4 million over the next twelve months. While the economic environment remains challenging for the banking industry, our capital and liquidity levels remain healthy and well positioned to meet the needs of our customers. We continued to see favorable growth trends, with annualized loan growth of 6.0% from the second to third quarter of this year and increased deposit balances over the same periods. We are also pleased to announce our cash dividend, which is reflective of our healthy capital position.”
