CEO STATEMENT
“Despite the growing uncertainty in the overall economic environment, our results reflect positive activity in our core fundamentals,” said Jeffrey Tengel, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “We continue to have success in balancing our commercial loan originations, deposits grew nicely, our margin expanded, we kept expenses well maintained, and we increased our dividend for the 15th consecutive year. In addition, we remain on track with our integration efforts related to the pending acquisition of Enterprise.”
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets of $19.9 billion at March 31, 2025 increased $514.6 million, or 2.7% (10.8% annualized), compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to increased cash balances associated with the March 2025 subordinated debt raise of $300 million.
Total loans of $14.5 billion at March 31, 2025 remained consistent with prior quarter levels:
•On the commercial side, robust growth within the commercial and industrial portfolio of $62.8 million, or 2.1% (8.4% annualized), was offset by decreases in the combined commercial real estate and construction categories.
•The small business portfolio also continued its steady growth, rising by $7.4 million, or 2.6% (10.6% annualized), during the first quarter.
•On the consumer side, the total loan portfolio grew slightly by $4.6 million, or 0.1% from the prior quarter, as modest growth in residential real estate and home equity products was partially offset by decreases in other consumer loans.
Total deposits grew by $370.0 million, or 2.4% (9.8% annualized), to $15.7 billion at March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, while average deposit balances for the first quarter remained consistent with the prior quarter at $15.5 billion:
•Robust growth driven by increases in non-maturity consumer, business and municipal categories, partially offset by a decline in higher cost time deposits.
•Overall core deposits increased to 82.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2025, as compared to 81.7% at December 31, 2024.
•Total noninterest bearing demand deposits represented 28.1% of total deposits at March 31, 2025, compared to 28.7% at December 31, 2024.
•The total cost of deposits for the first quarter of 1.56% decreased 9 basis points compared to the prior quarter.
Total period end borrowings increased by $158.5 million, or 22.6%, during the first quarter of 2025:

The fixed-to-floating rate notes, which are due in 2035 and callable in whole or in part in 2030, will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per year through April 1, 2030. Thereafter, the notes will bear interest at a floating rate through maturity, or the date of earlier redemption.
•Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings decreased $138.0 million compared to December 31, 2024, reflecting paydowns on short-term and overnight FHLB borrowings of $100.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively.
2

The Company’s securities portfolio remained at $2.7 billion for the first quarter of 2025:
•New purchases of $70.8 million and unrealized gains of $21.3 million in the available for sale portfolio were offset by maturities, calls, and paydowns in the combined available for sale and held to maturity portfolios during the quarter.
•Total securities represented 13.7% and 14.0% of total assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2025 increased $40.3 million, or 1.3%, compared to December 31, 2024, driven by strong earnings retention and unrealized gains on the available for sale investment securities portfolio included in other comprehensive income:
•The Company’s ratio of common equity to assets of 15.25% at March 31, 2025 represented a decrease of 20 basis points from December 31, 2024.
•The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 10.78% at March 31, 2025 represented a decrease of 8 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of 51 basis points from the year ago period.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 increased to $145.5 million, as compared to $144.7 million for the prior quarter.
•The net interest margin of 3.42% increased 9 basis points when compared to the prior quarter, and the core margin of 3.37% increased 6 basis points, driven primarily by decreased funding costs, partially offset by slightly lower loan yields. Please refer to Appendix C for additional information regarding the net interest margin and Non-GAAP reconciliation of core margin.
•Total loan yields decreased slightly to 5.49%, reflecting a full quarter’s impact of previous rate cuts, offset by cash flow repricing benefit and increased income from loan payoffs and purchase accounting accretion. Securities yields increased 11 basis points to 2.25% for the current quarter, reflecting the benefit of cash flow repricing.
•The Company’s overall cost of funding decreased by 10 basis points to 1.67% for the first quarter of 2025, fueled primarily by lower deposit costs.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income of $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 represented a decrease of $348,000, or 1.1%, as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter included the following:
•Interchange and ATM fees decreased by $258,000, or 5.3%, driven by seasonally lower transaction volumes.
3

•Overall investment and advisory income increased by $437,000, or 4.1%, driven by higher asset based revenue and other fee income. Total assets under administration increased by $63.6 million, or 0.9%, during the quarter to $7.1 billion at March 31, 2025.
•Mortgage banking income decreased $314,000, or 29.8%, due to lower origination volume.
•The Company received proceeds on life insurance policies resulting in a gain of $194,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, while no such gains were recognized during the first quarter of 2025.
•Loan level derivative income rose by $603,000, or 137.4%, reflecting volatility in customer demand.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense of $105.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 represented a decrease of $544,000, or 0.5%, as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter included the following:
•Salaries and employee benefits increased by $2.7 million, or 4.6%, driven primarily by a seasonal increase in payroll taxes of $1.5 million, as well as outsized interest rate-driven valuation fluctuations on the Company’s split-dollar bank-owned life insurance policies, which resulted in a $824,000 increase compared to the prior quarter.
•Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $460,000, or 3.4%, driven by increases in snow removal and utilities costs, partially offset by a decrease in lease termination costs of approximately $550,000 that were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024 related to the exit of an inactive branch location.
•FDIC assessment increased $400,000, or 15.5%, driven by a rise in the Company’s quarterly assessment charge and timing differences.
•The Company incurred merger and acquisition expenses of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. All such costs were related to the Company’s pending acquisition of Enterprise.
•Other noninterest expense decreased by $3.5 million, or 12.9%, driven primarily by decreases in consulting fees of $1.2 million, reduced check losses $885,000, unrealized losses on equity securities of $764,000, and card issuance costs of $469,000.
The Company’s tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 increased to 22.29%, as compared to 20.49% for the prior quarter, due primarily to the purchase of additional certificated tax credits during the fourth quarter of 2024, as well as the release of $1.2 million in uncertain tax positions during the prior quarter.
ASSET QUALITY
During the first quarter, the Company’s key asset quality activity and metrics were as follows:
•Net charge-offs increased to $40.9 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the prior quarter, representing 1.14% and 0.03%, respectively, of average loans annualized. The 2025 first quarter charge-offs were primarily attributable to three previously classified commercial loans, two of which had been reserved for in prior periods.
•The first quarter provision for credit losses increased to $15.0 million, as compared to $7.5 million for the prior quarter, driven by the elevated charge-off activity and additional specific reserves.
4

•Nonperforming loans decreased to $89.5 million at March 31, 2025, as compared to $101.5 million at December 31, 2024, representing 0.62% and 0.70% of total loans, respectively.

•The allowance for credit losses on total loans decreased to $144.1 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $170.0 million at December 31, 2024, and represented 0.99% and 1.17% of total loans, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

•any unexpected material adverse changes in the Company’s operations or earnings.
The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as the Company’s business and its forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Risk Factors”). 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, core net interest margin (“core margin”), 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 core margin to determine any items t hat may impact the net interest margin that m ay be one-time in nature or not reflective of its 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 a core margin 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, core margin, 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.
