INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER NET INCOME OF $71.9 MILLION
Higher revenues drive earnings growth
    
Rockland, Massachusetts (October 20, 2022) Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2022 third quarter net income of $71.9 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to 2022 second quarter net income of $61.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, driven primarily by strong net interest margin expansion and profitable deployment of liquid assets.

The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.43% and 9.90%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to 1.24% and 8.49%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

“The strength of our third quarter performance is attributable to our long-term, sustained focus on building core relationships and disciplined growth combined with astute balance sheet management,” said Christopher Oddleifson, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “Our results reflect the tireless commitment and dedication of our colleagues, who each day live out our shared mission of forging enduring relationships with each other and with the customers and communities that Rockland Trust serves.”

BALANCE SHEET
    
Total assets of $19.7 billion at September 30, 2022 decreased by $279.2 million, or 1.4% from the prior quarter due primarily to a decline in cash balances, and increased by $5.2 billion, or 35.6%, as compared to the year ago period, inclusive of the 2021 fourth quarter acquisition of Meridian Bancorp, Inc. ("Meridian") and its subsidiary, East Boston Savings Bank, which closed during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Total loans at September 30, 2022 of $13.7 billion increased by $24.6 million, or 0.7% on an annualized basis compared to the prior quarter level. Excluding $19.4 million of net paydowns associated with the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), the loan portfolio increased by $44.0 million, or 1.3% on an annualized basis, compared to the prior quarter. Strong consumer loan activity continued to be the primary driver of organic loan growth, as the majority of residential real estate loan closings were retained on the balance sheet, resulting in 6.2% growth (24.8% annualized) for the quarter in that portfolio, while increased demand and line utilization fueled 2.0% (8.1% annualized) growth in home equity balances for the quarter. Excluding PPP loans, commercial and industrial balances increased 1.8% (7.0% annualized) during the quarter, driven primarily by increased line utilization and strong closing volumes, but were offset by attrition within the commercial real estate and construction categories resulting in a total commercial portfolio decrease of 1.0%.

Deposit balances of $16.3 billion at September 30, 2022 decreased by $300.6 million, or 1.8%, from the prior quarter primarily attributable to continued runoff in higher-cost time and certain rate sensitive deposits. Despite the reduction in total balances, non-interest bearing deposits rose by $60.1 million, or 1.1%, in the third
1


quarter as new core account opening activity remained strong. Core deposits comprised 87.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2022, an increase from 86.8% at June 30, 2022, while the total cost of deposits for the quarter increased 10 basis points to 0.15%.

Total borrowings decreased by $25.0 million, or 18.1% when compared to the prior quarter reflecting primarily the maturity of a short-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing.

The securities portfolio increased by $212.2 million, or 7.2%, when compared to the prior quarter, reflecting the Company's ongoing strategy to deploy a portion of excess cash balances into investment securities. Total purchases for the quarter were $325.3 million, offset by an unrealized loss of $55.5 million related to the available for sale portfolio, as well as paydowns, calls, and maturities. Total securities represented 16.0% of total assets at September 30, 2022, as compared to 14.7% at June 30, 2022.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 443,000 shares of its common stock for $34.6 million, marking the completion of its previously announced stock repurchase program. In total, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock under the program over the first three quarters of 2022 at an average price of $78.32 per share. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2022 decreased 1.9% when compared to the prior quarter, primarily attributable to the aforementioned share repurchases executed during the third quarter, along with increased other comprehensive losses of $69.6 million, which were partially offset by strong earnings retention. As a result of this decrease in stockholders' equity, book value per share decreased by $0.59, or 0.9%, to $61.73 during the third quarter as compared to the prior quarter. The Company's ratio of common equity to assets of 14.3% at September 30, 2022 represented a decrease of 7 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of 18.4% from the year ago period. The Company's tangible book value per share at September 30, 2022 declined by $0.75, or 1.9%, from the prior quarter to $39.56, but represented an increase of 6.2% from the year ago period inclusive of the accretive impact of the Meridian acquisition. The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 9.66% at September 30, 2022 represents a decrease of 13 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of 9.9% from the year ago period. Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed reconciliation of Non-GAAP metrics.

In consideration of the Company’s strong current capital position, the Company is announcing a new stock
repurchase plan, which authorizes repurchases by the Company of up to $120 million in common stock and is scheduled to expire on October 19, 2023.

NET INTEREST INCOME
        
Net interest income for the third quarter increased 12.2% to $162.6 million compared to $144.9 million for the prior quarter, primarily reflecting the positive impact of asset repricing in the rising interest rate environment in conjunction with relatively modest deposit rate increases, partially offset by a reduction in net PPP fee income of $1.3 million. Average earning asset levels were essentially flat in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter. The reported net interest margin increased by 37 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.64%, and increased 36 basis points to 3.59% on a core basis when excluding PPP fees, purchase accounting, and other non-recurring items. Please refer to Appendix C for additional details regarding the net interest margin.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income of $28.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 was $297,000, or 1.1% higher as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for the third quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

Deposit account fees and interchange and ATM fees increased by $433,000, or 7.4%, and $304,000, or 7.5%, respectively, both driven primarily by increased transaction volume during the third quarter.

2


Investment management income decreased by $893,000, or 9.6%, primarily driven by a reduction in seasonal tax preparation fees recognized during the second quarter and a decline in overall asset valuations during the third quarter. The decline in market valuations was mitigated by a healthy volume of new asset inflows, resulting in a modest $65.0 million, or 1.3% decrease in assets under administration to $5.1 billion as of September 30, 2022.

Mortgage banking income decreased by $457,000, or 43.9%, primarily due to overall reduced activity, with the vast majority of originations being retained in portfolio.

Other noninterest income increased by $509,000, or 9.7%, primarily attributable to a gain on the sale of a vacated office space recently acquired during the Meridian acquisition and increased foreign currency exchange fees.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense of $92.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.2 million, or 2.4%, higher as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense for the third quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $3.2 million, or 6.4%, primarily due to increases in salaries and incentives.

Occupancy and equipment increased by $679,000, or 5.8%, due mainly to increases in office equipment costs and equipment maintenance and repairs.

Other noninterest expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 6.4%, due primarily to decreases in unrealized losses on equity securities, director expenses (which were incurred during the second quarter related primarily to grants of equity compensation), and reduced consultant fees.

The Company’s tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 remained relatively flat at 24.37%, compared to 24.84% for the prior quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans remained consistent at $56.0 million, or 0.41% of total loans at September 30, 2022, as compared to $55.9 million, or 0.41% of total loans at June 30, 2022, with minimal net charge-offs recorded during the third quarter of 2022. Delinquency as a percentage of total loans decreased 23 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.17% at September 30, 2022, due primarily to the resolution and full payoff of a non-performing commercial loan.

In conjunction with the category shifts on current nonperforming loans and no significant changes to the overall economic outlook, the Company recorded a $3.0 million provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2022. The allowance for credit losses on total loans was $147.3 million, or 1.08% of total loans, at September 30, 2022, as compared to $144.3 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at June 30, 2022.

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 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 includes 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, provision for credit losses on acquired loan portfolios, 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 that may impact the net interest margin that may be one-time in nature or not reflective of its core operating environment, such as unique low-yielding loans originated through government programs in response to the pandemic, or 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
5


environment and how management decisions impact the net interest margin. Similarly, management reviews certain loan metrics such as growth rates and allowance as a percentage of total loans, adjusted to exclude loans that are not considered part of its core portfolio, which includes loans originated in association with government sponsored and guaranteed programs in response to the pandemic, to arrive at adjusted numbers more representative of the core growth of the portfolio and core reserve to loan ratio.

    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.
