Approximately 88.4% of first round PPP loans and 15.8% of round two PPP loans have been or are in the process of being forgiven.

The Company's total investment securities portfolio increased by $220.3 million, or 45.5%, from $484.7 million at December 31, 2020 to $705.0 million at June 30, 2021, as the Company invested excess cash.

* Core deposits, which the Company defines as all deposits other than certificates of deposit, increased by $402.4 million, or 12.8%, to $3.55 billion at June 30, 2021, as a result of growth from new and existing client relationships. * The cost of total deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was 0.11%, as compared to 0.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a reduction of four basis points.

Net Interest and Dividend Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, net interest and dividend income, before the provision (release) for credit losses, increased by $1.0 million, or 3.1%, to $32.4 million as compared to $31.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher loan accretion associated with merger accounting, an increase in deferred PPP loan income recognized on PPP loans forgiven by the SBA during the quarter and a lower cost of funds, partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets during the period.

The Company's net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased by 10 basis points to 3.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.35% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest and dividend income before the provision (release) for credit losses increased $12.6 million, or 24.6%, to $63.8 million as compared to $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased 29 basis points to 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.59% for six months ended June 30, 2020.

In order to provide greater disclosure of the impact of loan related merger accounting and the impact of the SBA's PPP loan program, a reconciliation of the Company's net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, to an adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, is shown below. Excluding the impact of merger related loan accretion and the impact of PPP loans, the adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was 3.01%, representing a 15 basis point decrease from adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, of 3.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Provision for Credit Losses

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a release of the provision for credit losses of $901,000 as a result of improving forward-looking economic assumptions and the resulting decrease in loss expectations in the Company's allowance for credit losses modeling for both its loan and unfunded commitment portfolios.

* Wealth management revenue increased by $3.1 million, or 22.8%, to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to appreciation within the equity market. * Gain on loans sold increased by $422,000, or 135.3%, to $734,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $312,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to increased sales of residential mortgages. * Loan related derivative income increased by $394,000, or 46.7%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $844,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. * Deposit account fees decreased by $528,000, or 35.5%, to $958,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in fee revenue from commercial deposit sweep products.

* Marketing expense increased by $490,000, or 105.8%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by the timing of the Company's marketing campaigns. * Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $417,000, or 2.6%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by decreases in amounts of deferred PPP related loan origination costs (in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 310-20) and increases in performance-based compensation, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Total noninterest expense increased by $4.0 million, or 8.7%, to $49.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and marketing expense, partially offset by a decrease in nonoperating expenses.

Such forward-looking statements about the Company and its industry involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Statements other than statements of current or historical fact, including statements regarding the Company's future financial condition, results of operations, business plans, liquidity, cash flows, projected costs, the impact of any laws or regulations applicable to the Company, and measures being taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business are forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "may," "will," "should," and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the current global economic uncertainty and economic conditions being less favorable than expected, disruptions to the credit and financial markets, changes in the Company's accounting policies or in accounting standards, weakness in the real estate market, legislative, regulatory or accounting changes that adversely affect the Company's business and/or competitive position, the Dodd-Frank Act's consumer protection regulations, the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on levels of consumer confidence, actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and economic activity, the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, challenges from the integration of the Company and Wellesley resulting in the combined business not operating as effectively as expected, disruptions in the Company's ability to access the capital markets, the cost savings of the merger with Wellesley may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the merger with Wellesley, including adverse effects on relationships with employees, may be greater than expected, and other factors that are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2020, which the Company filed on March 15, 2021. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

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 operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio (including and excluding PPP loans), operating return on average assets, operating return on tangible common equity, operating efficiency ratio, and operating pre-tax pre-provision income and return on average assets.

Operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share exclude items that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business such as merger, acquisition, and capital raise expenses, gain (loss) on disposition of investment securities, and other items. The Company's management uses operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share to measure the strength of the Company's core banking business and to identify trends that may to some extent be obscured by such excluded gains or losses.

Management also supplements its evaluation of financial performance with analysis of tangible book value per share (which is computed by dividing shareholders' equity less goodwill and acquisition related 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 acquisition related intangibles), return on average assets and return on tangible common equity on an operating basis, the operating efficiency ratio (which is computed by dividing noninterest expense adjusted for nonoperating expenses and total revenue adjusted for gain/(loss) on disposition of investment securities), operating pre-tax pre-provision income over average assets (which is computed by dividing income before taxes adjusted for the provision (release) for credit losses, nonoperating expenses, and gain/(loss) on disposition of investment securities over average assets). The Company has included information on these non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tool 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 nonoperating 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 are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented under "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."
