Results marked by net interest income growth
and stable asset quality
Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB),
parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2024 fourth
quarter net income of $50.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, as
compared to 2024 third quarter net income of $42.9 million, or
$1.01 per diluted share. Financial results for the fourth quarter
of 2024 also reflected pre-tax merger-related costs of $1.9 million
associated with the Company’s pending acquisition of Enterprise
Bancorp, Inc. (“Enterprise”) and its subsidiary, Enterprise Bank,
announced on December 9, 2024. Excluding these merger-related costs
and the related tax effects, operating net income was $51.4
million, or $1.21 per diluted share. No merger-related costs were
incurred during the third quarter of 2024. The increase in net
income was largely attributable to growth in net interest income, a
decrease in loan loss provision, and a reduced tax rate compared to
the prior quarter, as detailed below. Full year 2024 net income was
$192.1 million, or $4.52 per diluted share, as compared to prior
year net income of $239.5 million, or $5.42 per diluted share. In
addition, full year operating net income was $193.4 million, or
$4.55 on a diluted earnings per share basis, which excluded the
aforementioned merger-related costs associated with the pending
Enterprise acquisition. There were no non-core adjustments included
in the Company’s full year 2023 results. Please refer to
“Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to Operating Net Income
(Non-GAAP)” below for a reconciliation of net income to operating
net income.
The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on
average common equity of 1.02% and 6.64%, respectively, for the
fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to 0.88% and 5.75%,
respectively, for the prior quarter, or 1.05% and 6.82%,
respectively, on an operating basis for the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the full year 2024, the Company generated a return on average
assets and return on average common equity of 0.99% and 6.53%,
respectively, as compared to 1.24% and 8.31%, respectively, for the
prior year. On an operating basis, the Company generated a return
on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.00%
and 6.57%, respectively, for the full year 2024.
“Our employees continue to provide outstanding service to our
clients, resulting in sustained improvement over many core elements
of the bank,” said Jeffrey Tengel, the Chief Executive Officer of
Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “Fourth quarter
results were driven by a focus on our fundamentals, and we believe
that we are well positioned to achieve profitability improvement
through both net interest margin expansion and the pending
acquisition of Enterprise.”
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets of $19.4 billion at December 31, 2024 remained
essentially flat when compared to the prior quarter and increased
$26.2 million, or 0.14%, when compared to December 31, 2023 levels,
with the change compared to the year ago period reflecting a
healthy remix of assets from securities into loans.
At December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified its portfolio of
loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate to the
commercial and industrial loan category to reflect the variation in
the management and underlying risk profile of such loans compared
with investor-owned commercial real estate loans. Prior periods
were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Total
loans at December 31, 2024 of $14.5 billion increased by $147.6
million, or 1.0% (4.1% annualized), compared to the prior quarter
level. Loan growth for the fourth quarter was fueled primarily by
increases in the commercial and industrial and construction
categories, while commercial real estate balances decreased from
the prior quarter, reflecting the Company’s cautious posture on
commercial real estate originations. Small business lending also
remains a focal point, with growth of 4.4% (17.3% annualized)
during the fourth quarter. On the consumer side, the total loan
portfolio grew $31.3 million, or 0.9% (3.4% annualized) from the
prior quarter, reflecting solid growth in both the residential real
estate and home equity products.
Average deposits for the fourth quarter increased by $109.0
million, or 0.7% (2.8% annualized), as compared to the prior
quarter average balances, while period end balances of $15.3
billion at December 31, 2024 decreased by $135.0 million, or 0.9%,
from September 30, 2024, as growth in consumer balances were offset
by seasonal reductions in business checking and municipal deposits.
Overall core deposits remained at 81.7% of total deposits at
December 31, 2024, consistent with overall core deposits as a
percentage of total deposits at September 30, 2024. Total
noninterest bearing demand deposits represented 28.7% of total
deposits at December 31, 2024, compared to 29.3% at September 30,
2024. The total cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 1.65%
decreased 9 basis points compared to the prior quarter.
Total period end borrowings increased by $38.0 million, or 5.7%,
during the fourth quarter of 2024, while average borrowings
decreased $21.2 million, or 3.1% for the quarter. The Company’s
overall cost of funding decreased by 9 basis point to 1.77% during
the fourth quarter, fueled by lower deposit costs, and to a lesser
extent, reduced average wholesale borrowing costs.
The securities portfolio balances decreased $54.2 million, or
2.0%, at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024, as new
purchases of $81.6 million were offset by maturities, calls,
paydowns and unrealized losses of $15.5 million in the available
for sale portfolio. Total securities represented 14.0% and 14.2% of
total assets at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024,
respectively.
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2024 increased $16.0
million, or 0.5%, compared to September 30, 2024, driven by strong
earnings retention, partially offset by unrealized losses on the
available for sale investment securities portfolio and interest
rate derivative valuations included in other comprehensive income.
The Company’s ratio of common equity to assets of 15.45% at
December 31, 2024 represented an increase of 11 basis points from
September 30, 2024 and an increase of 49 basis points from December
31, 2023. The Company’s book value per share increased by $0.35, or
0.5%, to $70.43 at December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior
quarter. The Company’s tangible book value per share at December
31, 2024 rose by $0.39, or 0.8%, from the prior quarter to $46.96,
and has grown by 6.4% from the year ago period. The Company’s ratio
of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 10.86% at December
31, 2024 represented an increase of 11 basis points from the prior
quarter and an increase of 55 basis points from the year ago
period. Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed reconciliation
of Non-GAAP balance sheet metrics.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased to
$144.7 million as compared to $141.7 million for the prior quarter.
The net interest margin of 3.33% increased 4 basis points when
compared to the prior quarter, and the core margin of 3.31%
increased two basis points, driven primarily by decreased funding
costs. See Appendix C for additional details regarding the net
interest margin and Non-GAAP reconciliation of core margin.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income of $32.2 million for the fourth quarter of
2024 represented a decrease of $1.4 million, or 4.0%, as compared
to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for
the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter included
the following:
- Deposit account fees increased by $337,000, or 5.0%, due
primarily to increased overdraft and cash management activity.
- Overall investment and advisory income decreased by $250,000,
or 2.3%, compared to the prior quarter as slightly higher
management fee income was offset by lower retail investment revenue
and insurance commissions. Reflecting overall market declines in
December, total assets under administration decreased by $125.9
million, or 1.8%, during the quarter to $7.0 billion at December
31, 2024.
- Loan level derivative income decreased by $686,000, or 61.0%,
reflecting volatility of customer demand.
- Other noninterest income decreased by $1.1 million, or 16.4%,
driven by decreased unrealized gains on equity securities of
$603,000 and decreased FHLB dividend income of $214,000.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense of $106.4 million for the fourth quarter of
2024 represented an increase of $6.0 million, or 6.0%, as compared
to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense
for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter
included the following:
- Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $899,000, or 1.5%,
as compared to the prior quarter, fueled primarily by outsized
interest rate-driven valuation fluctuations on the Company’s
split-dollar bank-owned life insurance policies, which resulted in
a $1.7 million decrease as compared to the prior quarter. This
decrease was partially offset by increased base salary costs for
the fourth quarter.
- Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $665,000, or
5.2%, compared to the prior quarter, driven primarily by lease
termination costs of approximately $550,000 related to the exit of
an inactive branch location associated with a previous
acquisition.
- During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $1.9
million of merger and acquisition expenses related to the pending
acquisition of Enterprise. No such costs were incurred during the
prior quarter.
- Other noninterest expense increased by $4.3 million, or 19.2%,
attributable largely to an increase in debit card expenses as the
prior quarter reflected a one-time credit of $1.1 million, as well
as increases in consultant fees of $841,000, unrealized losses on
equity securities of $764,000, and card issuance costs of
$490,000.
The Company’s tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased
to 20.49%, as compared to 22.35% for the prior quarter, due to the
purchase of additional certificated tax credits during the fourth
quarter, as well as the release of $1.2 million in uncertain tax
positions.
ASSET QUALITY
The fourth quarter provision for credit losses decreased to $7.5
million as compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2024,
as the prior quarter reflected a large specific reserve charge on
one commercial real estate office loan. Nonperforming loans
decreased slightly to $101.5 million at December 31, 2024, as
compared to $104.2 million at September 30, 2024, representing
0.70% and 0.73% of total loans, respectively. Net charge-offs
decreased to $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, as
compared to $6.7 million for the prior quarter, representing 0.03%
and 0.18%, respectively, of average loans annualized. Delinquencies
as a percentage of total loans increased 27 basis points from the
prior quarter to 0.60% at December 31, 2024, driven by the
migration of one commercial real estate loan.
The allowance for credit losses on total loans increased to
$170.0 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $163.7 million at
September 30, 2024, and represented 1.17% and 1.14% of total loans,
at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

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 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 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.
