In addition to being recognized as an Earnings All Star®, Tompkins was named one of America’s Smartest Companies®, a distinction earned by only 14 U.S. public companies having more than ten consecutive years of growth in both dividends and earnings. According to The Staton Institute publication, the 14 companies qualifying for the America’s Smartest Companies distinction rank among the top 0.1% of all publicly traded companies in the United States.

Tompkins Financial CEO Stephen S. Romaine said, “Being named to this elite group of companies speaks highly of the performance of our board and employees. Tompkins Financial is committed to providing long-term value to our clients, shareholders, and the communities we serve. This focus on long-term value has guided our decisions over the years and separated the consistency of our results over time from what can appear to be a short-term focus of many in our industry. We are honored to receive this recognition, particularly in these challenging economic times.”
