Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Beacon Financial Corporation reported first quarter 2026 net income of $46.2 million, or $0.55 per share, up sharply from $19.1 million a year earlier but down from $53.4 million in the prior quarter. Operating earnings were $58.4 million, or $0.70 per share, excluding $13.0 million of merger and restructuring costs as integration of its merger of equals continues.

Total assets were $22.2 billion, with loans of $17.9 billion and deposits of $18.3 billion, reflecting seasonal and payroll-related deposit outflows and lower cash balances. The net interest margin was 3.78%, down 4 basis points from the prior quarter as loan yields and earning assets declined slightly.

Asset quality weakened: nonperforming loans rose to 0.83% of total loans and leases, and net charge-offs increased to $13.6 million, or 0.30% of average loans and leases. The allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.36% of total loans and leases. Return on average assets was 0.84%, and return on average tangible stockholders’ equity was 9.30%.

The Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.3225 per share, payable May 29, 2026, and approved a $50 million stock repurchase program, subject to regulatory approval. Tangible book value per common share increased to $23.48, and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets was 9.07%.

Insights

Solid post‑merger earnings with higher capital, but credit costs and nonperformers ticked up.

Beacon Financial delivered Q1 2026 net income of $46.2 million and operating earnings of $58.4 million, reflecting early merger synergies and lower merger charges. Net interest income of $190.8 million and a 3.78% net interest margin show modest pressure from slightly lower loan yields and a smaller earning asset base.

Balance sheet metrics are generally constructive. Total assets were $22.2 billion, loans $17.9 billion, and deposits $18.3 billion, with the loan‑to‑deposit ratio around the high‑90s. Capital strengthened: the stockholders’ equity‑to‑assets ratio was 11.27% and tangible equity‑to‑tangible assets 9.07%, while tangible book value per share rose to $23.48.

Credit is the main watchpoint. Nonperforming assets increased to $151.2 million, or 0.68% of total assets, and net charge‑offs rose to $13.6 million (annualized 0.30% of average loans and leases), driven by specific commercial real estate and equipment credits. The allowance for loan and lease losses of $244.4 million, or 1.36% of total loans and leases as of March 31, 2026, provides a measured buffer as the bank works through these exposures.

merger of equals financial
"The Company’s merger of equals (the “Merger”) with Brookline Bancorp, Inc. was accounted for as a reverse acquisition"
A merger of equals is when two companies of similar size and value combine into a single business with shared ownership and leadership, rather than one company buying the other. Investors care because it reshuffles who owns and controls the combined company, aims to cut duplicate costs and strengthen market position, but also brings integration risks that can affect future profits and each company’s stock value.
net interest margin financial
"The net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.78 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
tangible book value per common share financial
"Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) increased $0.16 from $23.32 at December 31, 2025 to $23.48 at March 31, 2026"
A per-share measure of the company’s tangible net asset value available to common shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill, brand value, and patents) and any preferred shareholder claims. Think of it as the amount each common share would get if the company sold only its physical and financial assets and settled priority claims. Investors use it as a conservative baseline to judge whether a stock is cheaply priced relative to the company’s hard-asset backing.
nonperforming assets financial
"Total nonperforming assets increased $34.5 million to $151.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $116.7 million at December 31, 2025"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
stock repurchase program financial
"The Company’s Board of Directors approved a $50 million stock repurchase program"
A stock repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the market. This can make each remaining share more valuable and shows that the company believes its stock is a good investment. It’s like a business treating its shares like a limited resource, hoping to boost confidence and share prices.
Total revenue $225.6 million -5% vs Q4 2025
Net income $46.2 million +142% vs Q1 2025
GAAP EPS $0.55 +162% vs Q1 2025
Operating EPS $0.70 noted as operating, excludes merger costs
Net interest margin 3.78% -0.04 percentage points vs Q4 2025
Guidance

The company’s outlook indicates expectations for low single-digit loan growth, a net interest margin around 3.80%, credit costs of $5–9 million per quarter, mid-single-digit fee income growth, and a 26% effective tax rate for the remainder of 2026.

EXHIBIT 99.1

Beacon Financial Corporation Announces First Quarter Results

Net Income of $46.2 million, EPS of $0.55

Operating Earnings of $58.4 million, Operating EPS of $0.70

Quarterly Dividend of $0.3225

Board Authorized $50 million Stock Buyback Program

BOSTON, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beacon Financial Corporation (NYSE: BBT) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $46.2 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $53.4 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $19.1 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

"The first quarter results reflect near-term pressures and the tail end of merger activity as we completed the core system conversion in February," stated Paul Perrault, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We remain focused on capturing the full synergies of our merger and executing a strategy that positions the bank for long-term success. We anticipate those actions will translate into stronger financial performance and more robust results as we move through the year.”

Presentation of Results - The Merger

The Company’s merger of equals (the “Merger”) with Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (“Brookline”) was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, with the Company treated as the legal acquirer and Brookline treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s financial results for any periods ended on or prior to June 30, 2025 reflect Brookline’s results only on a standalone basis. As a result, the Company’s financial results for the first quarter of 2026 may not be directly comparable to prior reported periods.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at March 31, 2026 decreased $1.0 billion to $22.2 billion from $23.2 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the reduction in cash balances due to timing fluctuations in payroll deposits. Total assets increased $10.7 billion from March 31, 2025, primarily due to the assets assumed in the Merger.

Total loans and leases decreased $105.4 million to $17.9 billion at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025, primarily due to a further reduction in commercial real estate and consumer loans, partially offset by increases in commercial loans, and increased $8.3 billion from March 31, 2025, primarily due to the loans and leases assumed in the Merger.

Total investment securities at March 31, 2026 increased $29.9 million to $1.7 billion from December 31, 2025 and increased $836.4 million from March 31, 2025, primarily due to investment securities assumed in the Merger.

Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 decreased $928.8 million to $1.1 billion from December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the fluctuation within payroll deposits, and increased $755.4 million from March 31, 2025, primarily due to cash and equivalents assumed in the Merger.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2026 decreased $1.2 billion from December 31, 2025, consisting of a $264.7 million decrease in customer deposits, a $676.2 million decrease in payroll deposits, and a $281.5 million decrease in brokered deposits. The decline in customer deposits was driven largely by seasonal first quarter factors such as tax payments, with additional movement concentrated in a small number of rate‑sensitive, higher‑cost accounts. Core consumer and relationship-based deposits remain stable. Total deposits increased $9.4 billion from March 31, 2025, primarily due to the deposits assumed in the Merger.

Total borrowed funds at March 31, 2026 increased $284.1 million from December 31, 2025, and decreased $83.3 million from March 31, 2025.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 11.27 percent at March 31, 2026, compared to 10.75 percent at December 31, 2025, and 10.77 percent at March 31, 2025. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 9.07 percent at March 31, 2026, compared to 8.62 percent at December 31, 2025, and 8.73 percent at March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) increased $0.16 from $23.32 at December 31, 2025 to $23.48 at March 31, 2026, and increased $12.45 from $11.03 at March 31, 2025.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $8.9 million to $190.8 million during the first quarter of 2026 from $199.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.78 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.82 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by lower yield on loans and leases and a reduction of interest earning assets, partially offset by lower funding costs.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 decreased $2.0 million to $23.9 million from $25.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.5 million decline in deposit fees and a $1.5 million decline in gain on sales of loans and leases, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in the mark to market on interest rate derivatives.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Total net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026 were $13.6 million compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The $13.6 million in net charge-offs were primarily driven by resolutions to a large Boston office loan, a large equipment financing loan and several smaller SBA loans. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 30 basis points for the first quarter of 2026 from 20 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.36 percent of total loans and leases at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.40 percent at December 31, 2025, and 1.29 percent at March 31, 2025.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.83 percent at March 31, 2026, an increase of 0.20 percent from 0.63 percent at December 31, 2025. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $34.5 million to $148.6 million at March 31, 2026, from $114.2 million at December 31, 2025. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.68 percent at March 31, 2026, an increase from 0.50 percent at December 31, 2025. Total nonperforming assets increased $34.5 million to $151.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $116.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in nonperforming assets was largely driven by a $17.5 million Boston office property and $8.9 million in two rent-controlled multi-family properties in New York City.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 decreased $1.5 million to $140.8 million from $142.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $2.3 million in other non-interest expense primarily due to a decline of $0.9 million in loan workout expense, and a decrease of $1.4 million in merger and restructuring expense, partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in FDIC insurance expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 29.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 29.0 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 25.0 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The core tax rate was 26.1 percent (non-GAAP).

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets decreased to 0.84 percent during the first quarter of 2026 from 0.94 percent for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity decreased to 7.32 percent during the first quarter of 2026 from 8.70 percent for the fourth quarter of 2025. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP) decreased to 9.30 percent for the first quarter of 2026 from 11.19 percent for the fourth quarter of 2025.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.3225 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The dividend will be paid on May 29, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2026.

STOCK REPURCHASE

Outlook 10 Our current Base Case does not factor potential rate cuts in 2026. The regional economy continues to perform well however, higher longer - term interest rates and uncertainty has materially slowed investment activity and loan demand. FORWARD LOOKING Expect loan growth to be in the low single digits for the remainder of the year driven by strong C&I lending. Dependent on economic activity. Loans The net interest margin is expected to stabilize in the range of 3.80%. Accretion from the purchase accounting will be in the range of $12 million per quarter and will fluctuate due to prepayment activity. Margin Credit costs are expected to trend lower and range from $5 - 9 million per qtr. Credit Modest fee income growth in the mid - single digits is anticipated. Fees The core system conversion occurred in February 2026 and is on target to meet original operating expense targets in 2Q26. No additional merger related charges are expected for the remainder of 2026. Expenses The effective tax rate is currently estimated in the range of 26% for the remainder of 2026.
