GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ:IBCP) reported second quarter 2026 net income of $18.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, versus net income of $16.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2026 include:

A net interest margin of 3.71% (six basis point increase from the linked quarter);
Increase in net interest income of $1.0 million (or 2.2% ) over the first quarter of 2026;
Increase in tangible common equity per share of common stock of $0.86 (or 14.8% annualized) from March 31, 2026;
A return on average assets and a return on average equity of 1.37% and 14.52%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026;
Net growth in total deposits, less brokered time deposits, of $38.2 million (or 3.2% annualized) from March 31, 2026;
Net loan growth of $105.8 million (or 9.8% annualized) from March 31, 2026;
An increase in the tangible common equity ratio to 8.9% at June 30, 2026; and
The payment of a $0.28 per share quarterly dividend on common stock on May 14, 2026.

William B. ("Brad") Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: "Our second quarter performance demonstrates the strength of Independent Bank’s community banking model and the continued benefits of disciplined balance sheet management, relationship-based lending, and a stable, locally-focused deposit franchise. We saw broad-based momentum across the business, with core customer activity supporting loan growth, core deposit growth, improved earning-asset yields, and continued capital generation. Just as important, we achieved these results while maintaining strong asset quality, prudent liquidity, and capital levels that position us well for the current operating environment.

"The quarter also reinforced the value of our strategy: serving attractive Michigan markets through local decision-making, deep customer relationships, and consistent credit discipline. We believe that approach continues to differentiate Independent Bank and supports durable performance through changing rate and economic cycles. We were pleased to complete our acquisition of HCB Financial Corp. on July 1, 2026. Integration work is underway, and we believe the combination strengthens our presence in complementary markets and enhances our ability to serve customers, employees, communities, and shareholders over the long term."

Significant items impacting comparable second quarter 2026 and 2025 results include the following:

Changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the "MSR Changes") of $1.8 million ($0.07 per diluted share, after tax) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to ($0.2) million (($0.01) per diluted share, after tax) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
Gain on equity securities at fair value of $1.6 million ($0.06 per diluted share, after tax) in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, attributable to the exchange of our Visa Class B-2 common stock. No gain or loss on equity securities at fair value was recorded for the second quarter of 2025.

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $47.9 million during the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $3.3 million, or 7.4% from the year-ago period, and an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.2%, from the first quarter of 2026 which had one less day of earnings. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the "net interest margin") was 3.71% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.58% in the year-ago period, and 3.65% in the first quarter of 2026. The linked quarter increase in the net interest margin was supported by a five basis point increase on earning asset yield and a one basis point decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The year-over-year quarter and linked quarter increases in net interest income were due to both an increase in average interest-earning assets and the higher net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were $5.22 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $5.04 billion in the year-ago quarter and $5.21 billion in the first quarter of 2026.

Non-interest income totaled $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $11.3 million in the comparable prior year period and $12.0 million in the preceding quarter. This change was primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues and gain on equity securities at fair value.

Gain on equity securities totaled $1.6 million during the second quarter of 2026. This gain resulted from the exchange of our shares of Visa Class B-2 common stock on May 8, 2026 into a combination of Visa Class C common stock and Visa Class B-3 common stock. With the completion of this exchange, the fair value of the Visa Class C common stock was recognized through income (as it is convertible into publicly traded Visa Class A common stock) while the Visa Class B-3 common stock continues to be carried at zero.

Net gains on mortgage loans in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 were approximately $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $2.5 million and $0.5 million in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The significant variance in mortgage loan servicing, net is primarily due to changes in the fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights associated with changes in interest rates and the associated expected future prepayment levels and expected float rates. Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $33.9 million and $31.5 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Mortgage loan servicing, net activity is summarized in the following table:

Non-interest expenses totaled $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $33.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, advertising, merger related expenses and data processing as well as a $0.4 million litigation expense recorded during the quarter.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2026. This compares to an income tax expense of $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The 2026 second quarter income tax expense includes a $0.2 million benefit from transferable energy tax credits.

(1) Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $2.72 million and $1.50 million in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded loan net charge offs of $0.37 million in both of the second quarters of 2026 and 2025. At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $65.7 million, or 1.49% of total portfolio loans compared to $63.4 million, or 1.48% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2025.

Commercial loans in the table above are primarily made up of one commercial development exposure totaling $28.18 million.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.66 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $158.1 million from December 31, 2025. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $4.41 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $4.28 billion at December 31, 2025. Deposits totaled $4.86 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $100.5 million from December 31, 2025. This increase is primarily due to increases in non-interest bearing, savings and interest-bearing checking and reciprocal that were partially offset by a decrease in brokered time deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $165.5 million at June 30, 2026, versus $138.4 million at December 31, 2025. Securities available for sale ("AFS") totaled $494.0 million at June 30, 2026, versus $495.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Total shareholders’ equity was $528.4 million at June 30, 2026, or 9.33% of total assets compared to $503.0 million or 9.14% at December 31, 2025. Tangible common equity totaled $499.3 million at June 30, 2026, or $24.24 per share compared to $473.7 million or $23.05 per share at December 31, 2025. The increases in shareholders’ equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of earnings retention.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:

Regulatory Capital Ratios	6/30/2026	12/31/2025	Well Capitalized Minimum

Tier 1 capital to average total assets	9.67%	9.36%	5.00%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	11.45%	11.24%	6.50%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	11.45%	11.24%	8.00%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets	12.70%	12.49%	10.00%

At June 30, 2026, in addition to liquidity available from our normal operating, funding, and investing activities, we had unused credit lines with the FHLB and FRB of approximately $688.9 million and $1.18 billion, respectively. We also had approximately $450.5 million in fair value of unpledged securities AFS and HTM at June 30, 2026 which could be pledged for an estimated additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB of approximately $424.1 million.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
