Independent Bank Corp. reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a net income of $34.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, a decrease of 20.2% from the $42.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, recorded in the same period last year. The decline in profitability was primarily attributed to merger-related expenses of $23.9 million and a provision for credit losses of $34.5 million associated with the acquisition of Enterprise Bancorp, which was completed on July 1, 2025. Excluding these non-core costs, the operating net income was $77.4 million, or $1.55 per diluted share.
The company’s total assets increased significantly to $25.0 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from $19.4 billion at the end of 2024, largely due to the acquisition of Enterprise, which added approximately $3.9 billion in loans and $4.4 billion in deposits. Total loans reached $18.5 billion, reflecting a 27.2% increase compared to the previous year, while total deposits rose to $20.3 billion, a 32.6% increase. The growth in deposits was driven by both the acquisition and organic growth, with core deposits comprising 83.1% of total deposits.
In terms of operational metrics, the net interest margin improved to 3.62%, up 25 basis points from the previous quarter, supported by higher yields on interest-earning assets and a decrease in funding costs. Non-interest income also saw a notable increase, totaling $40.4 million for the quarter, a 20.4% rise from the prior year, driven by higher deposit account fees and investment management income. The company’s efficiency ratio improved to 56.2%, indicating better cost management relative to its income.
Looking ahead, Independent Bank Corp. remains focused on integrating the Enterprise acquisition and leveraging the expanded customer base to enhance its product offerings. The company anticipates that the merger will yield operational synergies and improve long-term financial performance. However, management also acknowledges the potential challenges posed by current economic conditions and market volatility, which could impact future growth and profitability.
