14 14 29bp 10bp DCOM Nationwide Peers (Median) Significant ’24Q1 – ’24Q3 Net Interest Margin Expansion vs. Nationwide Peers (2) Improving NIM Will Drive Higher Profitability 1. NIM bottomed in the first quarter of 2024 and has since expanded by 29bp in the subsequent two quarters. YTD expansion has been driven by core deposit growth 2. 50bp rate cut in September is expected to benefit the fourth quarter 2024 NIM. Additional rate cuts in Q4 2024 and 2025 are expected to result in further NIM expansion 3. For every 25bp of rate cuts, we expect 5 – 6bp of NIM expansion from the adjustment of existing deposit and loan rates 4. Back book repricing is the final piece in structurally restoring NIM to a level greater than 3.25% • ~$1.9 billion of fixed/adjustable loans that mature/reprice in 2H 2025 and FY 2026 • Potential to deliver an additional 40 – 45bp of NIM expansion from back book repricing (1) 2.21% 2.41% 2.50% Q1 2024 Q2 2024 Q3 2024 Dime Net Interest Margin Quarterly Expansion Source: S&P Capital IQ Pro (1) Weighted average rate on $1.9 billion back book is 3.9%. Assuming loans reprice at +225 – 250bp over the 5 - yr Treasury implies a 4 0 – 45bp benefit to the NIM.
