Independent Bank Corp. Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $60.8 Million

Franchise strength drives performance in challenging environment

ROCKLAND, Mass.--()--Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2023 third quarter net income of $60.8 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to 2023 second quarter net income of $62.6 million, or $1.42 per diluted share.

The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.25% and 8.35%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to 1.29% and 8.78%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

“I am proud of the Company’s fundamental commitment to its customers and communities, as another quarter of strong business activity and solid financial results underscores the inherent value of our relationship banking model,” said Jeffrey Tengel, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “Our strong balance sheet and capital levels position us well for continuing to successfully navigate forward in a challenging environment.”

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $19.4 billion at September 30, 2023 remained relatively consistent with the prior quarter and decreased by $335.2 million, or 1.7%, as compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by lower cash and securities balances.

Total loans at September 30, 2023 of $14.2 billion increased by $84.3 million, or 0.6% (2.4% annualized), compared to the prior quarter. The increase was fueled primarily by consumer real estate, which increased $117.0 million, or 3.5% (14.0% annualized), for the quarter, driven primarily by adjustable-rate residential mortgages. Total commercial loans decreased slightly by $35.9 million, or 0.3% (1.3% annualized), compared to the prior quarter, reflecting construction to permanent commercial real estate transfers and solid closing activity offset by decreased line of credit utilization.

Deposit balances of $15.1 billion at September 30, 2023 decreased by $188.5 million, or 1.2%, from June 30, 2023, primarily attributable to seasonal declines in municipal deposits. Reflecting continued demand for higher rate products, time deposits continue to experience steady growth with the total cost of deposits for the quarter increasing 22 basis points to 1.07%. The volume of new account openings remains robust. Core deposits represented 80.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2023, compared to 82.6% at June 30, 2023.

Borrowings increased by $99.1 million, or 11.0%, during the third quarter of 2023, primarily a result of net changes in loans, deposits, and securities for the quarter.

The securities portfolio decreased by $49.1 million, or 1.6%, compared to June 30, 2023 driven primarily by paydowns, calls, and maturities, along with unrealized losses of $10.4 million in the available for sale portfolio during the third quarter. Total securities represented 15.4% of total assets at September 30, 2023, as compared to 15.6% at June 30, 2023.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2023 increased 1.1% when compared to June 30, 2023, driven primarily by strong earnings retention, partially offset by unrealized losses on the available for sale investment securities portfolio included in other comprehensive income. The Company's ratio of common equity to assets of 14.90% at September 30, 2023 represented an increase of 18 basis points, or 1.2%, from June 30, 2023 and an increase of 60 basis points, or 4.2%, from September 30, 2022. The Company's book value per share increased by $0.68, or 1.1%, to $65.37 at September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior quarter. The Company's tangible book value per share at September 30, 2023 rose by $0.72, or 1.7%, from the prior quarter to $42.60, and represented an increase of 7.7% from the year ago period. The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 10.24% at September 30, 2023 represented an increase of 19 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of 58 basis points from the year ago period. Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed reconciliation of Non-GAAP balance sheet 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 $100 million in common stock and is scheduled to expire on October 18, 2024.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased 1.7% to $149.9 million compared to $152.5 million for the prior quarter, as rising deposit costs slightly outpaced the benefit of repriced assets. Both the net interest margin and core margin (excluding purchase accounting and other non-core items) were 3.47% for the third quarter, representing reductions of 7 basis points and 5 basis points, respectively, as compared to the prior quarter. Please refer to Appendix C for additional details regarding the net interest margin and Non-GAAP reconciliation of core margin.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income of $33.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 represented an increase of $2.8 million, or 9.1%, as compared to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter included the following:

  • Deposit account and interchange and ATM fees increased by $758,000, or 7.6%, due primarily to increased overdraft and treasury management activity.
  • Investment management income decreased by $102,000, or 1.0%, primarily driven by a reduction in seasonal tax preparation fees, which are primarily recognized during the second quarter, partially offset by increased insurance commissions. Total assets under administration declined by $183.2 million, or 2.9%, to $6.1 billion during the third quarter of 2023, driven primarily by market depreciation.
  • The Company received proceeds on life insurance policies resulting in gains of $1.9 million for the third quarter, as compared to gains of $176,000 in the prior quarter.
  • Loan level derivative income decreased by $433,000, or 34.0%, compared to the prior quarter due primarily to lower customer demand.
  • Other noninterest income increased by $703,000, or 11.0%, due primarily to outsized loan fees and increased Federal Home Loan Bank dividend income, partially offset by unrealized gains on equity securities and interest on income tax refunds received in the prior quarter.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense of $97.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 represented an increase of $2.2 million, or 2.3%, 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 $822,000, or 1.5%, due primarily to increased commissions, timing on certain retirement benefits, and severance.
  • Other noninterest expense increased by $1.5 million, or 6.4%, due primarily to increased consultant fees, unrealized losses on equity securities and card issuance costs.

The Company’s tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 decreased slightly to 24.12%, compared to 24.30% for the prior quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

The third quarter provision for credit losses was $5.5 million, as compared to $5.0 million in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs were $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, driven predominantly by a partial charge-off of a single commercial real estate credit which had previously been placed on nonaccrual and was largely reserved for during the second quarter. Nonperforming loans decreased by 14.3% to $39.2 million, or 0.28% of total loans at September 30, 2023, as compared to $45.7 million, or 0.32% of total loans at June 30, 2023. Delinquency as a percentage of total loans decreased eight basis points from the prior quarter to 0.22% at September 30, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses on total loans remained flat at $140.6 million, or 0.99% of total loans, at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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 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.
