ITHACA — Net income rose to $11.2 million at Ithaca–based Tompkins Financial Corp. (NYSE MKT: TMP) in the fourth quarter, up from $9.4 million a year earlier.
Earnings per share for the period totaled 77 cents, down 8.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011. The drop was the result of the larger number of shares outstanding in 2012 after Tompkins issued more stock to complete its acquisition of Wyomissing, Pa.–based VIST Financial Corp. in August.
Net income for the full year in 2012 was $31.3 million, or $2.43 per share, down from $35.4 million, or $3.20 per share, in 2011. Merger costs totaling $9.7 million in 2012, compared with $152,000 in 2011, drove the slide.
