**INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME OF $75.3 MILLION** 

Rockland, Massachusetts (January 22, 2026) - Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2025 fourth quarter net income of $75.3 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, as compared to 2025 third quarter net income of $34.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. Excluding merger-related costs and the one-time provision for credit losses associated with the Company's third quarter acquisition of Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. ("Enterprise") and its subsidiary, Enterprise Bank, and their related tax effects, operating net income was $84.4 million, or $1.70 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to operating net income of $77.4 million, or $1.55 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2025<sup>(1)</sup>.

**CEO STATEMENT**

"Our fourth quarter results reflect ongoing growth in the Bank's financial performance, bolstered by the successful integration of our recent Enterprise acquisition," said Jeffrey Tengel, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. "I am grateful to our colleagues for their exceptional teamwork and steadfast commitment to creating meaningful, lasting relationships with our customers. We are energized and well positioned to build on our momentum in the new year."

**FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.20% and 8.38%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to 0.55% and 3.82%, respectively, for the prior quarter. On an operating basis, the Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.34% and 9.38%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to 1.23% and 8.63%, respectively, for the prior quarter<sup>(1)</sup>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's net interest margin of 3.77% increased 15 basis points compared to the prior quarter, while the adjusted margin increased 10 basis points to 3.64%<sup>(1)</sup>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average deposit balances were slightly higher for the fourth quarter of 2025 despite a decrease in period end balances of $169.1 million, or 0.8%, as compared to the prior quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loan balances of $18.5 billion at December 31, 2025 increased $51.3 million, or 0.3% (1.1% annualized), from the third quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company repurchased approximately 548,000 shares for $37.5 million during the fourth quarter.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tangible book value per share of $47.55 at December 31, 2025 grew by $1.04 from the prior quarter<sup>(1)</sup>.

**BALANCE SHEET** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Total assets of $24.9 billion at December 31, 2025 decreased $80.3 million, or 0.3%, compared to the prior quarter, driven primarily by decreased cash balances.

Total loans of $18.5 billion at December 31, 2025 increased $51.3 million, or 0.3%, compared to the prior quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The commercial and industrial portfolio grew $79.5 million, or 1.8% (7.0% annualized), while the combined commercial real estate and construction portfolio was essentially flat for the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The total consumer portfolio decreased $21.4 million, or 0.5%, primarily attributable to a decline in the residential real estate portfolio of $43.7 million, or 1.5%, which reflected a higher percentage of loan originations sold in the secondary market as compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the home equity portfolio of $13.5 million, or 1.1% (4.2% annualized).

Total deposits decreased by $169.1 million, or 0.8%, to $20.1 billion at December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decrease in period end total deposit balances driven primarily by seasonal outflows in business accounts, while average total deposits increased slightly compared to the prior quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Overall core deposits comprised 83.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2025, as compared to 83.1% at September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total noninterest bearing demand deposits remained consistent at 27.8% of total deposits at both December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The total cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 1.46% decreased 12 basis points compared to the prior quarter.

Total period end borrowings increased by $50.5 million, or 6.5%, during the fourth quarter of 2025, comprised of $50 million advanced on a working capital line of credit.

The Company's total securities portfolio remained unchanged from the prior quarter at $3.3 billion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New purchases and unrealized gains in the available for sale portfolio of $99.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively, were offset by maturities, calls, and paydowns in the combined available for sale and held to maturity portfolios during the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total securities represented 13.3% of total assets at both December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2025 increased $18.8 million, or 0.5%, compared to September 30, 2025, due primarily to strong earnings retention and unrealized gains on available for sale securities recognized in other comprehensive income, partially offset by the impact of dividends and share repurchases made during the quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company executed on its previously announced $150 million stock repurchase plan, buying back approximately 548,000 shares of common stock for $37.5 million at an average price per share of $68.39.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's ratio of common equity to assets of 14.31% at December 31, 2025 represented an increase of 12 basis points from September 30, 2025.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 9.88% at December 31, 2025 represented an increase of 13 basis points from the prior quarter and decrease of 98 basis points from the year ago period<sup>(1)</sup>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's book value per share increased by $1.17, or 1.6%, to $72.41 at December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's tangible book value per share at December 31, 2025 grew by $1.04, or 2.2%, from the prior quarter to $47.55, and grew by 1.3% from the year ago period<sup>(1)</sup>.

**NET INTEREST INCOME**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $9.2 million, or 4.5%, to $212.5 million, as compared to $203.3 million for the prior quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The net interest margin of 3.77% increased 15 basis points when compared to the prior quarter, and the adjusted margin of 3.64% increased 10 basis points, driven primarily by lower deposit costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total loan yields increased 3 basis points to 5.74% from 5.71%, driven primarily by loan purchase accounting accretion and fixed-rate asset repricing, offset by short term floating rate yield declines impacted by Federal Reserve rate cuts during the quarter. Securities yields increased 12 basis points to 2.96% for the current quarter as compared to the prior quarter, primarily attributable to the repricing benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** The Company's overall cost of funding decreased 12 basis points to 1.60% for the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to 1.72% for the prior quarter, driven by a lower cost of deposits.

**NONINTEREST INCOME**

Noninterest income of $41.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 represented an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.6%, as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deposit account fees increased by $253,000, or 2.9%, driven primarily by increases in cash management service fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interchange and ATM fees decreased by $608,000, or 10.2%, primarily due to timing of vendor rebates and slightly lower volume.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company received proceeds on life insurance policies resulting in a gain of $315,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025. No such gains were recognized during the third quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other noninterest income increased by $1.0 million, or 15.7%, driven primarily by realized investment income on equity securities.

**NONINTEREST EXPENSE**

Noninterest expense of $154.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 represented a decrease of $6.5 million, or 4.0%, as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was driven primarily by an $11.6 million reduction in merger and acquisition expenses, offset by approximately $5.1 million of elevated costs in certain expenses, as noted below:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company incurred merger and acquisition expenses of $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, all of which were related to the Company's acquisition of Enterprise. The majority of the merger expenses related to change in control and severance contracts, vendor and systems contract terminations, as well as legal and professional fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salaries and employee benefits increased by $448,000, or 0.6%, due primarily to $2.0 million of increased incentive compensation expense as well as increases in split dollar insurance valuations of $275,000, partially offset by lower base salaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $629,000, or 4.2%, primarily attributable to $325,000 in snow removal costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FDIC assessment increased $979,000, or 31.8%, driven primarily by an increased assessment rate and quarterly timing differences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other noninterest expense increased by $3.1 million, or 11.2%, driven primarily by increases in consultant fees related to an upcoming core system upgrade of $775,000 and quarterly valuation changes on equity securities of $750,000.

The Company's quarterly effective tax rate decreased to 20.54% for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 22.81% for the prior quarter. The decrease was due to one-time discrete adjustments combined with revised estimates based on full year results.

**ASSET QUALITY**

During the fourth quarter, the Company's key asset quality activity and metrics were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nonperforming loans decreased to $83.6 million at December 31, 2025, as compared to $86.6 million at September 30, 2025, representing 0.45% and 0.47% of total loans, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delinquencies as a percentage of total loans decreased 17 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.32% at December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net charge-offs increased to $5.3 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the prior quarter, representing 0.12% and 0.04%, respectively, of average loans annualized. The largest individual charge-off in the quarter was $4.0 million related to a commercial and industrial loan that was fully reserved for in the prior quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fourth quarter provision for credit losses decreased to $4.8 million, as compared to $38.5 million for the prior quarter, which included $34.5 million related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired from Enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total criticized and classified commercial loans decreased $46.0 million, or 8.9%, to $472.8 million at December 31, 2025, as compared to $518.9 million at September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The allowance for credit losses on total loans decreased to $189.9 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $190.5 million at September 30, 2025, and represented 1.03% of total loans at both December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

*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"), 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 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 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 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, 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.*

(1)Savings and interest checking and money market balances as of September 30, 2025 vary from amounts previously reported in the Company's third quarter 2025 earnings release and quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company previously reported approximately $618.8 million of reciprocal deposits in the savings and interest category, which based upon further review by the Company subsequent to the system conversion of Enterprise, related to money market accounts and therefore should have been reported within the money market category. The Company determined that these corrections were not material to the previously issued interim consolidated financial statements. Reported amounts throughout this earnings release are reflective of this reclassification, where applicable.

16 This presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as "expect," "achieve," "plan," "believe," "outlook", "projected", "future," "positioned," "continued," "will," "would," "potential," "anticipated," "guidance," "target" or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • adverse economic conditions in the regional and local economies within the New England region and the Company's market area; • events impacting the financial services industry, including high profile bank failures, and any resulting decreased confidence in banks among depositors, investors, and other counterparties, as well as competition for deposits and significant disruption, volatility and depressed valuations of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets; • the effects to the Company of an increasingly competitive labor market, including the possibility that the Company will have to devote significant resources to attract and retain qualified personnel; • political and policy uncertainties, changes in U.S. and international trade policies, such as tariffs or other factors, and the potential impact of such factors on the Company and its customers, including the potential for decreases in deposits and loan demand, unanticipated loan delinquencies, loss of collateral and decreased service revenues; • the instability or volatility in financial markets and unfavorable domestic or global general economic, political or business conditions, including international conflicts and hostilities; • unanticipated loan delinquencies, loss of collateral, decreased service revenues, and other potential negative effects on the Company's local economies or the Company's business caused by adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, changes in climate, public health crises or other external events and any actions taken by governmental authorities in response to any such events; • adverse changes or volatility in the local real estate market; • changes in interest rates and any resulting impact on interest earning assets and/or interest bearing liabilities, the level of voluntary prepayments on loans and the receipt of payments on mortgage-backed securities, decreased loan demand or increased difficulty in the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans; • risks related to the Company's acquisition activities, including disruption to current plans and operations; difficulties in customer and employee retention; fees, expenses and charges related to these transactions being significantly higher than anticipated; unforeseen integration issues or impairment of goodwill and/or other intangibles; and the Company's inability to achieve expected revenues, cost savings, synergies, and other benefits at levels or within the timeframes originally anticipated; • the effect of laws, regulations, new requirements or expectations, or additional regulatory oversight in the highly regulated financial services industry, and the resulting need to invest in technology to meet heightened regulatory expectations, increased costs of compliance or required adjustments to strategy; • changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; • higher than expected tax expense, including as a result of failure to comply with general tax laws and changes in tax laws; • increased competition in the Company's market areas, including competition that could impact deposit gathering, retention of deposits and the cost of deposits, increased competition due to the demand for innovative products and service offerings, and competition from non-depository institutions which may be subject to fewer regulatory constraints and lower cost structures; • a deterioration in the conditions of the securities markets; • a deterioration of the credit rating for U.S. long-term sovereign debt or uncertainties surrounding the federal budget; • inability to adapt to changes in information technology, including changes to industry accepted delivery models driven by a migration to the internet as a means of service delivery, including any inability to effectively implement new technology-driven products, such as artificial intelligence ("AI"); • electronic or other fraudulent activity within the financial services industry, especially in the commercial banking sector; • adverse changes in consumer spending and savings habits; • the effect of laws and regulations regarding the financial services industry, including the need to invest in technology to meet heightened regulatory expectations or the introduction of new requirements or expectations resulting in increased costs of compliance or required adjustments to strategy; • changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance) generally applicable to the Company's business and the associated costs of such changes; • the Company's potential judgments, claims, damages, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory and government actions; • changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; • operational risks related to the Company and its customers' reliance on information technology; cyber threats, attacks, intrusions, and fraud; and outages or other issues impacting the Company or its third party service providers which could lead to interruptions or disruptions of the Company's operating systems, including systems that are customer facing, and adversely impact the Company's business; • risks related to the development and use of AI by the Company, its third-party vendors, clients and counterparties; and • any unexpected material adverse changes in the Company's operations or earnings. The Company cautions 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 above and in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q ("Risk Factors").

17 This presentation contains 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 pre-provision net revenue return on average assets, operating return on average common equity, operating return on average tangible common equity, operating noninterest expense, adjusted net interest margin ("adjusted NIM" or "adjusted margin") and the associated adjusted loan yield, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity ratio and return on average tangible common equity. Management reviews its adjusted 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 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 an adjusted 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 pre-provision net revenue return on average assets, operating return on average common equity, operating return on average tangible common equity, operating noninterest expense, adjusted 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.
