GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ:IBCP) reported third quarter 2025 net income of $17.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, versus net income of $13.8 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
William B. ("Brad") Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: "I am proud of our team's performance and pleased to report continued positive momentum in our third quarter 2025 results. Loan balances grew at an annualized rate of 3.2%, and total deposits, less brokered time deposits increased by 13.0% (annualized). We achieved growth in net interest income both sequentially and year-over-year. Our net interest margin displayed a small decline on a linked quarter basis primarily due to the acceleration of unamortized issuance costs on subordinated debt we redeemed in the third quarter. I would characterize the NIM as stable when adjusting for this event. Expense management remains a strength, as reflected in our third-quarter efficiency ratio of 58.86%, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our recent strategic investments. These solid fundamentals supported a 10.2% year-over-year increase in tangible common equity per share and strong returns, including a return on average assets of 1.27% and a return on average equity of 14.57%. Despite market uncertainty, our credit quality remains strong, with watch credits at low levels. Non-performing assets increased from 0.16% of total assets to 0.38% of total assets on a quarter-over-quarter basis primarily as the result of one commercial relationship where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. Our annualized net charge-offs continue at historically low levels, four basis points through the first three quarters of 2025. The allowance for credit losses stands at 1.49% of total loans. I am optimistic we will finish 2025 strong and remain excited about our prospects to grow our customer base and earnings in 2026."
Significant items impacting comparable third quarter 2025 and 2024 results include the following:
- Changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the "MSR Changes") of $(0.6) million ($(0.02) per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $(4.2) million ($(0.16) per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Operating Results
The Company's net interest income totaled $45.4 million during the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.5 million, or 8.4% from the year-ago period, and an increase of $0.7 million, or 1.7%, from the second quarter of 2025. The Company's tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the "net interest margin") was 3.54% during the third quarter of 2025, compared to 3.37% in the year-ago period, and 3.58% in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income was due to both an increase in average interest-earning assets and the higher net interest margin. The linked quarter increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was partially offset by a modest decrease in net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were $5.16 billion in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $4.99 billion in the year-ago quarter and $5.04 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Non-interest income totaled $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $9.5 million in the comparable prior year period. This change was primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues.
Net gains on mortgage loans in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 were approximately $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The comparative quarterly decrease in net gains on mortgage loans was due to a decrease in both gain on sale margin on mortgage loans sold and a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold.
Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income (expense) of $0.1 million and $(3.1) million in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, 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 as well as a decline in servicing revenue. The decline in servicing revenue is attributed to the sale of approximately $931 million of mortgage servicing rights on January 31, 2025. Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $31.5 million and $46.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decline during the first nine months of 2025 was primarily attributable to the aforementioned mortgage servicing right sale. This transaction was executed in part to reduce the amount of exposure the Company had to rate variances that may impact the mortgage servicing right asset valuation in future periods. While the magnitude of fair value adjustments would also be expected to decrease, those adjustments are dependent upon factors that are harder to predict.
Mortgage loan servicing, net activity is summarized in the following table:

Non-interest expenses totaled $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $32.6 million in the year-ago period.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. This compares to an income tax expense of $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. The change in income tax expense principally reflects changes in pre-tax earnings in 2025 relative to 2024.

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $1.99 million and $1.49 million in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recorded loan net charge offs of $0.73 million and $0.31 million in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $62.5 million, or 1.49% of total portfolio loans compared to $59.4 million, or 1.47% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2024.
Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity
Total assets were $5.49 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $155.0 million from December 31, 2024. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $4.20 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $4.04 billion at December 31, 2024. Deposits totaled $4.86 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $205.1 million from December 31, 2024. This increase is primarily due to increases in savings and interest-bearing checking, reciprocal, time and brokered time deposits that were partially offset by decreases in non-interest bearing deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $208.7 million at September 30, 2025, versus $119.9 million at December 31, 2024. Securities available for sale ("AFS") totaled $502.6 million at September 30, 2025, versus $559.2 million at December 31, 2024.
On August 31, 2025 we redeemed our $40 million floating subordinated notes. This redemption did not affect our status as well-capitalized for regulatory purposes or have a material impact on our liquidity resources.
Total shareholders' equity was $490.7 million at September 30, 2025, or 8.93% of total assets compared to $454.7 million or 8.52% at December 31, 2024. Tangible common equity totaled $461.3 million at September 30, 2025, or $22.29 per share compared to $424.9 million or $20.33 per share at December 31, 2024. The increases in shareholders' equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of earnings retention and a reduction in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:
| Regulatory Capital Ratios | 9/30/2025 | 12/31/2024 | Well Capitalized Minimum | |||||
| Tier 1 capital to average total assets | 9.19 | % | 9.58 | % | 5.00 | % | ||

| Total capital to risk-weighted assets | 12.58 | % | 12.99 | % | 10.00 | % | ||
At September 30, 2025, 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 $1.15 billion and $468.8 million, respectively. We also had approximately $465.9 million in fair value of unpledged securities AFS and HTM at September 30, 2025 which could be pledged for an estimated additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB of approximately $437.3 million.
