The First of Long Island Corporation (FLIC-8.18%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing includes financial statements for the year, showing a decrease in net income to $17.1 million from $26.2 million in the previous year. The decrease is attributed to a decline in net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income fell by $13.6 million, primarily due to an increase in interest expense that outpaced the rise in interest income. The net interest margin decreased to 1.83% from 2.16% in the prior year.
