Independent Bank Corp. announced a net income of $75.3 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. This represents a substantial increase compared to the prior quarter and the same period last year, primarily due to lower deposit costs, increased net interest margin, and a significant reduction in merger and acquisition expenses.

Diluted EPS for Q4 2025 was $1.52, up 120.29% from Q3 2025 and 28.81% from Q4 2024.
Net interest margin increased by 15 basis points to 3.77% compared to the prior quarter, driven by lower deposit costs.
Total assets decreased slightly by 0.3% to $24.9 billion, while total loans increased by 0.3% to $18.5 billion.
The company is energized and well-positioned to build on its momentum in the new year, following strong fourth-quarter results and the successful integration of the Enterprise acquisition. However, it acknowledges potential risks from economic conditions, competitive labor markets, and financial market volatility.
