Briefing
Reported fourth quarter 2020 results with net income of $46.5 million and EPS of $0.86.
Community Bank System reported a strong fourth quarter in 2020, with net income reaching $46.5 million, translating to $0.86 per fully-diluted share. The increase in earnings per share year-over-year was driven by an increase in net interest income, a decrease in the provision for credit losses, slightly lower operating expenses and a small increase in noninterest revenues, offset, in part, by higher income taxes and an increase in fully-diluted shares outstanding. Total revenues for the quarter were $150.6 million, a slight increase of 0.5% compared to the same period last year.
- Net income for Q4 2020 was $46.5 million, or $0.86 per fully-diluted share.
