Results marked by higher revenues, increased
credit provision, and deposit growth
Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB),
parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2024 third
quarter net income of $42.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share,
compared to 2024 second quarter net income of $51.3 million, or
$1.21 per diluted share. The decline in net income was largely
attributable to an increase in the Company’s loan loss provision
compared to the prior quarter, partially mitigated by higher
revenue levels. The increased loan loss provision was primarily
attributable to a reserve allocation associated with one commercial
real estate loan, while total levels of criticized and classified
loans remained stable.
The Company generated a return on average assets of 0.88% and a
return on average common equity of 5.75% for the third quarter of
2024, as compared to 1.07% and 7.10%, respectively, for the prior
quarter.
“Our employees continue to provide outstanding service to our
clients, resulting in continued improvement over many core elements
of the bank, as evidenced by strong tangible book value growth,
margin expansion, and core deposit growth for the third quarter,”
said Jeffrey Tengel, the Chief Executive Officer of Independent
Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company. “In addition, we believe
that we are well positioned to improve profitability with
expectations of future Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.”
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets of $19.4 billion at September 30, 2024 remained
essentially flat when compared to the prior quarter and increased
$40.0 million, or 0.21% when compared to September 30, 2023 levels,
with the change compared to the year ago period reflecting a
healthy remix of assets from securities into loans.
Total loans at September 30, 2024 of $14.4 billion decreased
slightly by $40.1 million, or 0.3% (1.1% annualized), compared to
the prior quarter level. This decrease was driven primarily by
continued restraint on commercial real estate and construction
portfolio growth combined with lower levels of commercial and
industrial line utilization despite strong origination volume. On
the consumer side, the total loan portfolio grew $18.5 million, or
0.5% (2.0% annualized), from the prior quarter, reflecting
increased home equity utilization. Small business lending remains a
focal point with the portfolio having grown by 10.1% from a year
ago.
Average deposits for the third quarter increased by $330.0
million, or 2.2% (8.74% annualized), as compared to the prior
quarter average balances, while period end balances of $15.4
billion at September 30, 2024 increased by $31.4 million, or 0.2%,
from June 30, 2024, reflecting strong growth in business checking
balances offset by reductions in municipal deposits. Overall core
deposits represented 81.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2024,
as compared to 81.9% at June 30, 2024. Total noninterest bearing
demand deposits grew by 2.3% versus the prior quarter and represent
29.3% of total deposits at September 30, 2024, compared to 28.7% at
June 30, 2024. The total cost of deposits for the third quarter
increased 9 basis points to 1.74% compared to the prior
quarter.
In conjunction with deposit growth during the quarter, total
period end borrowings declined by $30.0 million, or 4.3%, during
the third quarter of 2024, while average borrowings decreased
$334.2 million for the quarter, or 32.8%. As such, the overall cost
of funding increased by only 1 basis point to 1.86% during the
third quarter as increased deposit costs were mitigated by
reductions in wholesale borrowing costs.
The securities portfolio balances remained flat at September 30,
2024 compared to June 30, 2024, as new purchases of $47.8 million
and unrealized gains of $36.7 million in the available for sale
portfolio were offset by maturities, calls and paydowns. Total
securities represented 14.2% of total assets at both September 30,
2024 and June 30, 2024.
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024 increased $57.9
million, or 2.0%, compared to June 30, 2024, driven by strong
earnings retention as well as unrealized gains 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 15.34% at September 30, 2024
represented an increase of 30 basis points from June 30, 2024 and
an increase of 44 basis points from September 30, 2023. The
Company’s book value per share increased by $1.34, or 1.9%, to
$70.08 at September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior quarter. The
Company’s tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024 rose
by $1.38, or 3.1%, from the prior quarter to $46.57, and has grown
by 9.3% from the year ago period. The Company’s ratio of tangible
common equity to tangible assets of 10.75% at September 30, 2024
represented an increase of 33 basis points from the prior quarter
and an increase of 51 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 third quarter of 2024 increased to
$141.7 million as compared to $137.9 million for the prior quarter.
The net interest margin of 3.29% increased 4 basis points when
compared to the prior quarter, driven primarily by higher loan
yields and securities cash flow deployment, combined with stable
overall funding costs.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income of $33.5 million for the third quarter of
2024 represented an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.8%, as compared
to the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income for
the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter included
the following:
- Deposit account fees increased by $447,000, or 7.1%, due
primarily to increased overdraft and cash management activity.
- Interchange and ATM fees increased by $217,000, or 4.6%, driven
by increased transaction volume during the third quarter of
2024.
- Total assets under administration rose by $290.6 million, or
4.2%, during the quarter to a record level of $7.2 billion at
September 30, 2024. The related increase in management fee income
was offset partially by a reduction in seasonal tax preparation
fees and insurance commissions recognized during the second
quarter, resulting in a slight increase in overall investment and
advisory income for the third quarter.
- Mortgage banking income decreased by $348,000, or 26.4%,
despite higher origination volumes, as a significant portion of the
quarter end pipeline remained in an interest rate floating
position, affecting the timing of the recognition of the associated
expected gain.
- Loan level derivative income rose by $652,000, or 137.8%,
reflecting increased customer demand in light of changes in the
macroeconomic environment.
- Other noninterest income increased by $199,000, or 3.1%, driven
primarily by increased gains on equity securities, partially offset
by reduced loan fees and lower FHLB dividend income.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense of $100.4 million for the third quarter of
2024 represented an increase of 0.8%, or $829,000, 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 $2.9 million, or
5.15%, 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 increase in expense as compared to the
prior quarter. Other increases were attributable to timing on
retirement contributions and increased base salary costs.
- Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $262,000, or
2.1%, due mainly to increases in utilities costs and equipment
maintenance and repairs, partially offset by reduced cleaning
expenses.
- Other noninterest expense decreased by $2.4 million, or 9.7%,
due primarily to a one-time credit of $1.1 million on debit card
expenses, as well as reduced director equity compensation and
consultant fees, partially offset by increased software and
subscriptions costs.
The Company’s tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 decreased
slightly to 22.35%, compared to 22.69% for the prior quarter.
ASSET QUALITY
The third quarter provision for credit losses was $19.5 million
as compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024,
primarily attributable to a reserve allocation associated with one
commercial real estate loan from a previously acquired bank that
migrated to nonperforming status during the quarter. As such,
nonperforming loans increased to $104.2 million at September 30,
2024, as compared to $57.5 million at June 30, 2024, representing
0.73% and 0.40% of total loans at each respective period. Net
charge-offs increased to $6.7 million for the third quarter of
2024, as compared to $339,000 for the prior quarter, representing
0.18% and 0.01%, respectfully, of average loans annualized. Net
charge-offs for the third quarter were primarily driven by the
partial charge-off of one commercial and industrial loan which had
been previously reserved for. Delinquencies as a percentage of
total loans decreased 4 basis points from the prior quarter to
0.33% at September 30, 2024.
The allowance for credit losses on total loans increased to
$163.7 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $150.9 million at
June 30, 2024, and represented 1.14% and 1.05% of total loans, at
September 30, 2024 and June 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.
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.
