Press release:

ITHACA -- Tompkins Financial Corporation (NYSE American: TMP), parent company of Tompkins Bank of Castile, Tompkins Insurance Agencies, and Tompkins Financial Advisors, today reported record year-to-date and second quarter earnings.

The company also has announced that its Board of Directors approved payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.52 per share, payable on Aug. 14, to common shareholders of record on Aug. 3, 2020, and has authorized a new stock repurchase program.

Tompkins Financial Corporation reported diluted earnings per share of $1.44 for the second quarter of 2020, up 13.4 percent compared to $1.27 reported in the second quarter of 2019. Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $21.4 million, compared to $19.4 million reported for the same period in 2019. 

For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2020, diluted earnings per share were $1.97, down 25.1 percent from the same period in 2019. Year-to-date net income was $29.4 million, down from $40.4 million, for the same period in 2019. Results for the 2020 year-to-date period were negatively impacted by economic stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to the $16.3 million provision for credit losses recognized during the first quarter of 2020.

"We are pleased to report strong financial results for the quarter despite a very challenging business climate," said Stephen S. Romaine, president & CEO. "Although the longer term impact of the pandemic and related economic conditions are still unknown, there have been several recent positive trends noted with certain national economic indicators, such as reduced levels of unemployment, improving retail sales and improving consumer confidence.

"At Tompkins, we have seen several positive trends as well, with very strong mortgage application volumes in the second quarter, higher levels of debit card spending, and favorable credit quality measures when compared to last quarter. We are encouraged by some of these recent favorable trends, though the recent rise in COVID-19 cases nationally makes it clear that much uncertainty remains. We will remain vigilant in monitoring risk trends as we navigate these challenging times.”
