Independent Bank Corp. Reports First Quarter Net Income of $41.7 Million

Apr. 22, 2021

ROCKLAND, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 22, 2021--Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2021 first quarter net income of $41.7 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, reported for the fourth quarter of 2020. First quarter results were positively impacted by a release of provision for loan loss in the amount of $2.5 million as well as elevated interest income from forgiven Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, while fourth quarter 2020 results were negatively impacted by approximately $5.2 million in pre-tax expenses attributable to branch closing decisions and sale of investments that did not affect first quarter results.

In a separate news release today the Company announced an agreement to acquire Meridian Bancorp Inc., and its subsidiary East Boston Savings Bank, with $5.3 billion in loans and $5.1 billion in deposits as of March 31, 2021.

"We enjoyed solid performance in the first quarter and we remain optimistic about the opportunities ahead of us. As we lap a full year of the pandemic, we have come to appreciate more than ever the importance of relationships with one another, with our customers, and with our communities. My colleagues inspire me with their incredible dedication and their discretionary effort," said Christopher Oddleifson, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. "Throughout the pandemic and beyond, we have seen firsthand what we can achieve when we are aligned together in our shared vision of being the Bank Where Each Relationship Matters(r)."

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $13.8 billion at March 31, 2021 increased by $569.6 million, or 4.3%, from the prior quarter, and by $1.8 billion, or 15.0%, as compared to the year ago period, as government funded stimulus continued to fuel significant deposit and liquid asset growth.

Total loans at March 31, 2021 decreased by $146.2 million, or 1.6% (6.3% annualized), when compared to the prior quarter. Despite strong origination volumes and loan pipelines across all products, overall portfolio growth continued to be constrained by ongoing paydowns and re-financing activity. Exclusive of PPP activity, total commercial loans decreased 1.70% during the first quarter, primarily reflecting a slowdown in new construction financing and notably lower line utilization levels within the commercial and industrial ("C&I") portfolio, while commercial real estate balances remained relatively stable. Within C&I, PPP loan originations from the new 2021 program of $340.0 million outpaced PPP loan payoffs of $285.6 million on the prior year balances, resulting in a net PPP loan balance increase of $54.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Within the consumer portfolios, the majority of mortgage production continued to be sold in the secondary market, while the low interest-rate environment and excess consumer liquidity position continued to drive elevated payoff activity along with low home equity line utilization, resulting in reductions of 4.2% and 3.8% within the mortgage and home equity portfolios, respectively.

Deposit balances of $11.6 billion at March 31, 2021 increased by $600.4 million, or 5.5% (22.1% annualized), from the prior quarter, as a combination of government stimulus payments and loan fundings under the second round of the PPP fueled significant growth during the quarter. With continued reduction in time deposit balances, core deposits rose to 90.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2021, which, combined with further rate reductions across all products, has led to a total cost of deposits for the first quarter of 0.10%, representing a reduction of four basis points when compared to the prior quarter.

The securities portfolio increased by $269.1 million, or 23.2%, when compared to the prior quarter, reflecting a direct strategy to deploy a portion of excess cash balances into securities with a significantly improved return profile given the recent changes in the yield curve, with $373.4 million of purchases offset by paydowns, calls, and maturities.

Total borrowings decreased slightly by $4.7 million, or 2.6% when compared to the prior quarter reflecting repayments of outstanding debt.

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2021 increased slightly by 0.7% (3.0% annualized), as compared to the prior quarter, reflecting continued strong earnings retention. Book value per share increased by $0.29, or 0.6%, to $51.94 during the first quarter as compared to the prior quarter. The Company's ratio of common equity to assets of 12.45% decreased by 44 basis points from the prior quarter and decreased by 157 basis points from the year ago period. The Company's tangible book value per share at March 31, 2021 rose by $0.37, or 1.0%, from the prior quarter to $35.96, representing an increase of 4.4% from the year ago period. The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 8.96% at March 31, 2021 is 30 basis points below the prior quarter and 105 basis points below the year ago period. Please refer to Appendix A for detailed reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the first quarter increased to $95.6 million compared to $91.4 million for the prior quarter, driven primarily by increased PPP fee recognition of $5.8 million for the quarter. The 2021 first quarter net interest margin rose by 15 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.25%. The table below illustrates the changes within the net interest margin for the first quarter:

Net interest margin as of December 31, 2020 3.10 %

Excess liquidity (cash) levels (0.03) %

Securities (0.05) %

Loan yields (0.02) %

Nonaccrual interest impact, net (0.03) %

PPP loan impact 0.20 %

Loan purchase accounting (fair value mark amortization/accretion) 0.03 %

Decreased cost of funds 0.05 %

Net interest margin as of March 31, 2021 3.25 %

Please refer to Appendix B for additional details regarding the net interest margin, including a quarter-to-date reconciliation of adjusted core margin to GAAP net interest margin.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income of $25.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 was $2.2 million, or 8.1%, lower than the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

* Deposit account fees decreased by $310,000, or 8.0%, primarily driven by seasonal decreases in overdraft fees. * Interchange and ATM fees increased by $40,000, or 1.5%, due primarily to increased volume during the first quarter. * Investment management income increased by $568,000, or 7.3%, due primarily to an increase in assets under administration as well as strong sales in retail channels. Assets under administration increased by 4.8% from the prior quarter to a record high $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2021. * Mortgage banking income grew by $362,000, or 6.7%, primarily attributable to the recovery of mortgage servicing asset impairment and continued robust loan volumes. * Loan level derivative income decreased by $1.0 million, or 84.8%, due primarily to decreased customer demand. * Other noninterest income decreased by $1.7 million, or 34.9%, primarily attributable to reduced income from equity securities, equipment rental income, Section 1031 exchange fees, and derivative valuations.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense of $69.7 million for the first quarter of 2021 was $4.0 million, or 5.5% lower than the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense for the first quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

* Salaries and employee benefits increased by $456,000, or 1.2%, mainly due to seasonal increases in payroll taxes, medical and dental plan insurance costs and commissions. These increases were offset partially by decreases in incentive compensation expenses. * During the prior quarter, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.2 million, reflecting accelerated lease termination costs and the write-off of leasehold improvements related to two branch closure decisions. No such charges were incurred during the first quarter of 2021. * During the prior quarter, the Company recognized a loss of $1.0 million on the sale of certain Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") investment holdings. No such losses were incurred during the first quarter of 2021. * Other noninterest expense increased by $460,000, or 2.7%, primarily due to increases in consultant fees, contactless card issuance costs and loan workout costs, which were partially offset by decreases in the reserve for unfunded commitments and advertising.

The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.26% and 9.87%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 1.04% and 8.10%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

The tax rate of 22.3% for the quarter included $1.4 million of discrete tax benefits related primarily to low income housing tax credits and equity compensation. Excluding these discrete benefits, the tax rate would have been approximately 24.8%.

ASSET QUALITY

During the first quarter, the Company recorded total net charge-offs of $3.3 million, or 0.15% of average loans on an annualized basis. Nonperforming loans decreased by 11.5% to $59.2 million, or 0.64% of total loans, at March 31, 2021, as compared to $66.9 million, or 0.71% of total loans, at December 31, 2020.

In addition, total loans subject to a payment deferral increased by $47.0 million during the first quarter. This increase primarily reflects the execution of loans that were in process of a deferral renewal as of December 31, 2020. Total loans subject to payment deferral at March 31, 2021 were $220.6 million, or 2.4% of total loans. The majority of the loans subject to a payment deferral continued to be characterized as current loans. As such, delinquency as a percentage of total loans was 0.12% as of March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of eleven basis points from the prior quarter. Please refer to Appendix D for additional details regarding loans whose terms have been modified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company recorded credit reserve releases of $2.5 million during the first quarter of 2021, reflecting improvements in asset quality metrics and overall macro-economic assumptions, along with lower loan levels. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $107.5 million at March 31, 2021, or 1.16% of total loans, as compared to $113.4 million at December 31, 2020, or 1.21% of total loans. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.28% and 1.32% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Please refer to Appendix C for information regarding loan exposures within industries deemed highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as "expect," "achieve," "plan," "believe," "future," "positioned," "continued," "will," "would," "potential," 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:

* further weakening in the United States economy in general and the regional and local economies within the New England region and the Company's market area, including future weakening caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; * the length and extent of economic contraction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; * unanticipated loan delinquencies, loss of collateral, decreased service revenues, and other potential negative effects on our business caused by severe weather, pandemics or other external events; * adverse changes or volatility in the local real estate market; * adverse changes in asset quality and any unanticipated credit deterioration in our loan portfolio including those related to one or more large commercial relationships; * acquisitions may not produce results at levels or within time frames originally anticipated and may result in unforeseen integration issues or impairment of goodwill and/or other intangibles; * additional regulatory oversight and related compliance costs, including the additional costs associated with the Company's increase in assets to over $10 billion; * 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, resulting from failure to comply with general tax laws, changes in tax laws, or failure to comply with requirements of the federal New Markets Tax Credit program; * changes in market interest rates for interest earning assets and/or interest bearing liabilities and changes related to the phase-out of LIBOR; * increased competition in the Company's market areas; * adverse weather, changes in climate, natural disasters, the emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, other public health crises or man-made events could negatively affect our local economies or disrupt our operations, which would have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations; * a deterioration in the conditions of the securities markets; * a deterioration of the credit rating for U.S. long-term sovereign debt; * 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; * electronic 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; * changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance) generally applicable to the Company's business; * the Company's potential judgments, claims, damages, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory and government actions, including as a result of our participation in and execution of government programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic; * 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 including, but not limited to, changes to how the Company accounts for credit losses; * cyber security attacks or intrusions that could adversely impact our businesses; and * other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings.

Further, the foregoing factors may be exacerbated by the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is unknown at this time. Statements about the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that actual results may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in such statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control, including the scope, duration and extent of the pandemic and any resurgences, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic and the direct and indirect impact on the Company's employees, customers, business and third-parties with which the Company conducts business.

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 contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This information includes core net margin, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio.

Management reviews its core net interest 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 out-sized cash balances, unique low-yielding loans originated through government programs in response to the pandemic, or significant purchase accounting adjustments. 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. 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 to tangible assets ratio (which is computed by dividing tangible common equity by "tangible assets", defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles). The Company has included information on tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio 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 deems to be noncore and 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 core margin, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
