Total Deposits $4.862 billion Deposits at June 30, 2026
Tangible Common Equity Ratio 8.86% Tangible common equity to tangible assets at June 30, 2026
net interest margin financial
"The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.71%"
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 common equity financial
"Tangible common equity totaled $499.3 million at June 30, 2026, or $24.24 per share"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.
non-performing loans financial
"Total non-performing loans were $32,797 thousand with a ratio of non-performing loans to total portfolio loans of 0.74%"
Loans on a bank’s books where the borrower has stopped making scheduled payments for a prolonged period (commonly about 90 days), so the lender no longer expects full repayment on time. Think of them as overdue IOUs that may never be paid back; a rising level of such loans weakens a lender’s earnings and balance sheet, signals greater credit risk in the economy, and can hurt investors through lower dividends, loan losses, or declines in the lender’s stock value.
allowance for credit losses financial
"At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $65.7 million, or 1.49% of total portfolio loans"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
common equity tier 1 capital financial
"Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.70% at June 30, 2026"
Core capital a bank holds consisting mainly of common shares and retained profits that can absorb losses without forcing the bank to sell assets or seek emergency help; items that can’t reliably cover losses are excluded. Think of it as the bank’s shock-absorbing cushion: a higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) level and ratio means regulators and investors view the bank as better able to survive bad loans or market shocks, so it signals lower risk to shareholders and creditors.
Net income $18.8 million versus $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2025
Diluted EPS $0.90 versus $0.81 in the second quarter of 2025
Net interest income $47.9 million an increase of $3.3 million, or 7.4%, from the year-ago period
Net interest margin (FTE) 3.71% compared to 3.58% in the year-ago quarter and 3.65% in the first quarter of 2026
Non-interest income $15.3 million compared to $11.3 million in the comparable prior-year period
Total portfolio loans $4.41 billion up from $4.28 billion at December 31, 2025
Total deposits $4.86 billion an increase of $100.5 million from December 31, 2025
Return on average assets 1.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
Return on average equity 14.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
Guidance

Management’s 2026 outlook includes overall loan growth of approximately 4.5% to 5.5%, high-single-digit (7% to 8%) net interest income growth driven by higher average earning assets, and a full-year 2026 provision for credit losses of approximately 0.20% to 0.25% of average total portfolio loans.

INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS 2026 SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.90 PER DILUTED SHARE

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 23, 2026 - 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
1

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.

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.

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.

Earning asset expansion is centered in commercial loans up $97 million. Runoff in lower yielding overnight liquidity, investments helped fund earning asset growth. Asset and liability yields were slightly higher during the quarter, with asset yields up 8 basis points and liability costs 3 basis point higher. • The NII sensitivity to lower rates declined modestly while the benefit to higher rates remained largely unchanged. Reduced exposure to lower rates is due to $50 million notional of floor purchases and the termination of $50 million of pay fixed swaps. The overall position is closely matched for smaller rate changes of +/- 100 basis points. The bank has modest exposure to larger rate declines and benefits from larger rate increases. • Base-rate is a static balance sheet applying the spot yield curve from the valuation date. • Stable core funding base. Transaction accounts fund 38.4% of assets and other non-maturity deposits fund another 17.6% of assets. Low wholesale funding of just 3.0% of assets. • 37.9% of assets reprice in 1 month and 49.4% reprice in the next 12 months. • Continually evaluating strategies to manage NII through hedging, funding strategies as well as product pricing and structure. Changes in Net Interest Income (Dollars in 000’s) Simulation analyses calculate the change in net interest income over the next twelve months, under immediate parallel shifts in interest rates, based upon a static statement of financial condition, which includes derivative instruments, and does not consider loan fees. 13

Outlook for 2026 Outlook for 2026 *as of January, 2026 • IBCP forecast of approximately 4.5%-5.5% overall loan growth is based on an increase in commercial loans (11%-12%) with mortgage loans (0%-1%) and installment loans declining (5.0%-5.5%). • This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. • The forecast assumes 0.25% Fed rate cuts in March and August in the federal funds rate while long-term interest rates increase slightly over year-end 2025 levels. • IBCP forecast of high-single digit (7%-8%) growth is primarily supported by an increase in earning assets and a favorable shift in the earning asset base. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to increase (0.18% - 0.23%) in 2026 compared to full-year 2025. Primary driver is a decrease in yield on interest bearing liabilities that is partially offset by a decrease in earning asset yield. • Very difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels under CECL will be particularly sensitive to loan growth and mix, projected economic conditions, watch credit levels and loan default volumes. • The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.48% at 12/31/25 • A full year 2026 provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.20%-0.25% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable. 2Q'26 Update • Total portfolio loans increased $105.8 million (9.8% annualized) in 2Q'26 which is above our forecasted range. Commercial loan growth of $92.6 million (16.4% annualized), mortgage loan increase of $12.9 million (3.4% annualized) and installment loan increase of $0.2 million (0.2% annualized). • 2Q'26 net interest income was $3.3 million (7.4%) higher than the prior year quarter which is within the forecasted range. The net interest margin was 3.71% for the current quarter and 3.58% for the prior year quarter and up 0.06% from the linked quarter. • The provision for credit losses was an expense of $2.7 million (0.25% annualized) for the second quarter within the forecasted range. LENDING Continued growth NET INTEREST INCOME Growth driven primarily by higher average earning assets PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES Steady asset quality metrics 16

 

Outlook for 2026 Outlook for 2026 *as of January, 2026 • Quarterly 2026 forecasted range of $11.3M to $12.3M. Full year up 3.0% to 4.0% from 2025 actual of $45.6M • Expect mortgage loan origination volumes to be down 6.0% to 7.0% and net gain on sale to be down 14.0% to 16.0% compared to full year 2025. Assumes mortgage loan servicing net of approximately $0.5M per quarter in 2026. • IBCP forecasts 2026 quarterly range of $36.0M to $37.0M with the total for the year up 5.0% to 6.0% from the 2025 actual of $138.2M. • The primary driver is an increase in compensation and employee benefits, data processing; loan and collections and occupancy. • Approximately a 17% effective income tax rate in 2026.This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2026. • 2026 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. • Share repurchases will be dependent on capital levels, capital allocation options and share price trends. We are not modeling any share repurchases in 2026. 2Q'26 Update • Non-interest income totaled $15.3 million in 2Q'26, which is above the forecasted range. Gain on equity securities totaled $1.6 million as of the exchange of Visa Class B-2 shares to Visa Class C shares. • Total non-interest expense was $37.8 million in the 2Q'26, which was higher than our forecasted quarterly range. Merger related expenses totaled $0.4 million. Non-recurring expense items include $0.4 million in litigation expense. • Actual effective income tax rate of 17.2% for the second quarter of 2026. • There were no shares of common stock repurchased in the first six months of 2026.
