Independent Bank Corp., the parent company of Rockland Trust Company, operates as a full-service commercial bank in the financial services sector, offering a range of banking, investment, and insurance services across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
In its latest earnings report, Independent Bank Corp. announced a net income of $34.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease from the previous quarter’s $51.1 million. This decline was primarily due to merger-related expenses and provisions for credit losses linked to the acquisition of Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. Despite these costs, the company reported an operating net income of $77.4 million, reflecting strong underlying business performance.
Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include a significant increase in net interest income by 37.9% to $203.3 million, driven by the Enterprise acquisition. The company’s net interest margin improved to 3.62%, and deposit balances surged by 27.7% to $20.3 billion. Additionally, loan balances grew by 27.0% to $18.5 billion, with notable growth in commercial and industrial loans. The acquisition also expanded the bank’s branch network and added substantial assets under administration.
The acquisition of Enterprise Bancorp added 27 branch locations and $3.9 billion in loans, significantly boosting Independent Bank Corp.’s asset base. However, the merger also led to increased noninterest expenses, including $23.9 million in merger-related costs. Despite these challenges, the bank’s efficiency ratio improved, and it continued to focus on enhancing asset quality metrics.
Looking ahead, Independent Bank Corp. remains focused on leveraging the opportunities presented by the Enterprise acquisition to drive sustainable financial performance. The management is optimistic about improving net interest margins and fee income while maintaining a strong focus on asset quality and operational efficiency.
