INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME OF $17.2 MILLION

Solid quarter reflects successful implementation of recent acquisition

Rockland, Massachusetts (January 19, 2017) Independent Bank Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2016 fourth quarter net income of $17.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $20.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter. Net income for the full year was $76.6 million, or $2.90 on a diluted earnings per share basis, as compared to $65.0 million, or $2.50 per diluted share in the prior year. The current quarter and full year net income includes items that the Company considers to be noncore, such as merger and acquisition expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt and gains or losses on the sale of securities. When excluding these items and their related tax impact, net income for the fourth quarter was $20.2 million, or $0.76 on a diluted earnings per share basis, versus $20.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share in the prior quarter. In addition, on an operating basis, full year net income was $80.4 million, or $3.04 on a diluted earnings per share basis, as compared to $71.7 million, or $2.76 per diluted share in the prior year.

“Rockland Trust’s financial performance reached new heights in 2016 as we achieved another annual earnings per share record,” said Christopher Oddleifson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust. “In 2016 my colleagues' devotion to superior customer service produced steady organic growth in both loans and deposits. Those efforts were complemented by the Bank of Cape Cod acquisition, which we announced early in 2016 and closed during the fourth quarter.”

NEW ENGLAND BANCORP ACQUISITION

On November 10, 2016, the Company acquired New England Bancorp ("NEB"), the parent company of Bank of Cape Cod. This resulted in the addition of one location in Osterville, Massachusetts while three of the former NEB branches were consolidated into existing Rockland Trust locations. The transaction included the acquisition of $225.7 million in loans and the assumption of $175.7 million in deposits, each at fair value. Total consideration of $41.7 million consisted primarily of 672,665 shares of Independent Bank Corp. common stock issued to New England Bancorp shareholders. The following table provides the purchase price allocation of net assets acquired for this transaction:

For further detail on the loans and deposits acquired, see the organic growth table provided near the end of the financial schedules accompanying this release.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $7.7 billion at December 31, 2016 increased by $207.4 million, or 2.8%, from the prior quarter and by $499.9 million, or 6.9%, as compared to the year ago period, inclusive of the NEB acquisition.

Exclusive of the acquisition, total loans grew in the fourth quarter by $27.7 million, or 1.9% on an annualized basis, and increased by $226.2 million, or 4.1%, when compared to the year ago period. This reflected the continued modest growth in the various commercial portfolios, which increased by $30.8 million, or 3.0% on an annualized basis, from the third quarter of 2016. The increase in the commercial real estate portfolio was driven mainly by the reclassification of construction loans that converted to permanent loans. On the consumer side, the home equity portfolio continued to benefit from a healthy housing market and successful marketing efforts, increasing organically by $16.6 million, or 6.8% on an annualized basis, during the fourth quarter. The residential mortgage portfolio was impacted by refinancings and net paydowns, declining organically by $18.9 million, or 11.9% on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter.

Exclusive of the acquisition, deposits decreased by $32.9 million, or 2.1% on an annualized basis during the fourth quarter, as compared to the linked quarter, attributable to a $49.1 million decrease in time deposits. This decrease in time deposits was partially due to the Company's planned run-off of higher cost, noncore deposits. Alternatively, core deposits increased organically by $16.2 million in the fourth quarter, and represent 89.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2016. Despite the addition of the higher cost NEB deposits, the total cost of deposits remained at 0.17% for the quarter, reflecting the Company’s continued emphasis on lower cost funding sources.

The securities portfolio increased by $32.9 million from the prior quarter due to $70.4 million in purchases of agency collateralized mortgage obligations and $23.0 million of agency mortgage pass-thru securities, offset by paydowns on existing securities. The higher yield curve towards the end of the fourth quarter was viewed as an opportunity to deploy some excess liquidity. Total securities of $851.5 million at December 31, 2016 comprised 11.0% of total assets of the Company at December 31, 2016.

The Company's FHLB borrowings remained unchanged at $50.8 million at December 31, 2016. All of NEB's FHLB borrowings of $51.2 million were paid off shortly after the acquisition closed and resulted in no prepayment penalty, as the borrowings were booked to fair value as part of the acquisition accounting.

Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2016 rose to $864.7 million, an increase of 5.7% from September 30, 2016 and 12.1% from the year ago period, primarily due to the NEB acquisition and continued strong earnings retention. In addition, book value per share increased $0.93, or 3.0%, during the fourth quarter and the Company's ratio of common equity to assets of 11.22% increased 31 basis points from the prior quarter end and 52 basis points from the same period a year ago. Despite the increased goodwill from the NEB acquisition and the impact of the higher rates on the valuation of the available for sale securities portfolio, the Company's tangible book value per share rose by $0.37, or 1.6%, in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter, and its ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 8.47% represents an increase of 14 basis points from the prior quarter and 49 basis points from the same period a year ago.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the fourth quarter was $58.8 million, representing a $1.1 million, or 1.9%, increase over the prior quarter. The increase was mainly attributable to higher levels of interest earning assets, inclusive of the NEB acquisition. The Company’s net interest margin decreased by four basis points from the prior quarter to 3.36%, driven primarily by a seven basis point decrease resulting from lower prepayment penalties on the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by increases in market rates during the quarter.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income totaled $21.8 million in the fourth quarter, which represents a $1.3 million, or 6.6%, increase from the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income in the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:


•	Deposit account fees and interchange and ATM fees decreased by $130,000, or 1.5%, driven mainly by seasonality.


•	Investment management income increased by $180,000, or 3.3%, due to an increase in retail investments and insurance-related income as well as continued growth in assets under administration, which increased 1.2% to $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2016.


•	Mortgage banking income increased by $186,000, or 9.5%, driven mainly by impairment recovery on the Company's mortgage servicing asset due to the higher rate environment.


•	The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance policies of $125,000, or 12.7%, was due to annual dividend income.


•	Loan level derivative income increased by $718,000, or 88.6%, due to higher customer demand in the fourth quarter.


•	Other noninterest income increased $266,000, or 11.1%, mainly due to an increase in certain loan fees and capital gain distributions received on equity securities, partially offset by decreases in income from a Community Reinvestment Act investment as well as 1031 tax exchange income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The Company recorded noninterest expense of $51.6 million during the fourth quarter, which represents a $4.8 million, or 10.2%, increase from the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:


•	Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $320,000, or 1.2%, due primarily to decreases in the valuation of the Company's split dollar liability related to bank-owned life insurance policies, as a result of interest rate movements.


•	Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $507,000, or 9.3%, mainly due to accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements relating to a branch closing in the fourth quarter.


•	Data processing expense decreased by $256,000, or 18.3%, due mainly to one-time costs incurred during the third quarter of 2016 associated with implementation of new software.

•

Merger and acquisition costs amounted to $4.8 million for the quarter as compared to $151,000 in the prior quarter. The majority of the expenses related to compensation and severance agreements, as well as legal and consulting fees associated with the fourth quarter closing of the NEB acquisition. Also included in this amount was approximately $483,000 of expenses incurred related to the pending acquisition of Island Bancorp, Inc., which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.


•	Other noninterest expense increased by $236,000, or 2.0%, driven primarily by higher provisions for unfunded commitments and consultant fees, partially offset by lower advertising, recruitment, and legal expenses.

The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 0.89% and 8.07%, respectively, in the fourth quarter, as compared to 1.09% and 9.98%, respectively, for the prior quarter. Additionally, on an operating basis, the Company generated a return on average assets and return on average common equity of 1.05% and 9.51%, respectively, in the fourth quarter, as compared to 1.10% and 10.03%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded total net charge-offs of $639,000, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $472,000 in the prior quarter. The provision for loan losses increased to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter versus $950,000 in the third quarter of 2016, reflecting a $3.6 million specific loan loss reserve for one large commercial relationship which was placed on nonaccrual status in the fourth quarter. This action accounted for the increase in nonperforming loans to $57.4 million, or 0.96% of loans at December 31, 2016 from $24.8 million, or 0.43% at September 30, 2016. Total nonperforming assets likewise increased to $61.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter, from $26.6 million at the end of the prior quarter. Delinquency as a percentage of loans remained low at 0.33% at December 31, 2016, a decrease of eleven basis points from the prior quarter, as this single commercial relationship was current on payments as of year end. The decision to place the credits associated with the relationship on nonaccrual resulted from an expectation that the borrower will no longer be able to make full interest and principal payments.

The allowance for loan losses was $61.6 million at December 31, 2016, as compared to $58.2 million at September 30, 2016. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.03% and 1.01% as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 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 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 earnings and operating EPS, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio, also return on average assets and return on average equity on an operating basis. Operating earnings and operating EPS exclude items that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business such as gains or losses on the sales of securities, loss on extinguishment of debt, merger and acquisition expenses, and other items. The Company’s management uses operating earnings and operating EPS 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 stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, or "tangible common equity", by common shares outstanding) and with the tangible common equity ratio (which is computed by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets). The Company has included information on tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio because management 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 non-core 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, including operating earnings, operating EPS, 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.
