Record Quarterly Earnings and EPS
Rockland, Massachusetts (October 15, 2026) - Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2026 third quarter net income of $89.7 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, as compared to 2026 second quarter net income of $81.8 million, or $1.70 per diluted share.
CEO STATEMENT
“In an operating environment with many moving pieces, our disciplined approach and core fundamentals drove a 12% increase in our diluted earnings per share versus the prior quarter results,” said Jeffrey Tengel, Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “I want to thank my colleagues for their steadfast commitment to servicing our customers day in and day out. Our focus on strong community banking drove a 1.42% return on average assets and a 15.43% return on average tangible common equity, as loan and average deposit growth improved, we maintained our net interest margin while growing overall net interest income, credit quality remained stable, expenses were well managed, and we prudently returned excess capital to shareholders.”

- The net interest margin of 3.89% increased 4 basis points compared to the prior quarter, as the benefit of asset repricing and a 4 basis point increase in purchase accounting accretion were partially offset by higher deposit costs. Excluding purchase accounting accretion and other non-core items, the adjusted margin of 3.76%remained flat with the prior quarter.
- Total loan yields increased 11 basis points to 5.80% from 5.69%, driven primarily by loan repricing benefit and higher purchase accounting accretion compared to the prior quarter.

- The third quarter provision for credit losses was $6.5 million, as compared to $6.3 million for the prior quarter, driven primarily by a specific reserve allocation on one office real estate loan that migrated to nonperforming status during the quarter.
- Net charge-offs of $1.2 million, representing 0.02% of average loans annualized, remained consistent with the prior quarter.

Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise. Any public statements or disclosures by the Company following this release which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this release. In addition to the information set forth in this press release, you should carefully consider the Risk Factors.
This press release and the appendices attached to it contain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This information may include operating net income and operating earnings per share (“EPS”), operating return on average assets, operating return on average common equity, operating return on average tangible common equity, adjusted net interest margin (“adjusted margin”) and the associated adjusted loan yield (which is calculated by dividing annualized interest income on loans, plus or minus non-core or other adjustments, by average loans), tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio.
Operating net income, operating EPS, operating return on average assets, and operating return on average common equity exclude items that management believes are unrelated to the Company’s core banking business such as merger and acquisition expenses, and other items, if applicable. Management uses operating net income and related ratios and operating EPS to measure the strength of the Company’s core banking business and to identify trends that may to some extent be obscured by such items. Management reviews its adjusted margin and adjusted loan yield to determine any items that may impact these metrics that may be one-time in nature or not reflective of the core operating environment, such as significant purchase accounting adjustments or other adjustments such as nonaccrual interest reversals/recoveries and prepayment penalties. Management believes that adjusting for these items to arrive at an adjusted margin and adjusted loan yield provides additional insight into the operating environment and how management decisions impact the net interest margin.
Management also supplements its evaluation of financial performance with analysis of tangible book value per share (which is computed by dividing stockholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, or “tangible common equity,” by common shares outstanding), the tangible common equity ratio (which is computed by dividing tangible common equity by “tangible assets,” defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles), and return on average tangible common equity (which is computed by dividing net income by average tangible common equity). The Company has included information on tangible book value per share, the tangible common equity ratio and return on average tangible common equity because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management. As a result of merger and acquisition activity, the Company has recognized goodwill and other intangible assets in conjunction with business combination accounting principles. Excluding the impact of goodwill and other intangibles in measuring asset and capital values for the ratios provided, along with other bank standard capital ratios, provides a framework to compare the capital adequacy of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry.
These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results and other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. An item which management excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular quarter or year. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures, including operating net income, operating EPS, operating return on average assets, operating return on average common equity, adjusted margin and associated adjusted loan yield, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio, are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
