Independent Bank Corporation reported second quarter 2026 net income of $18.8 million, up from $16.9 million in the prior-year period. The net interest margin rose 6 basis points from the first quarter to 3.71%, supported by a remixing of earning assets into higher-yielding commercial loans. Commercial loan growth reached $92.6 million, or 16% annualized, contributing to total loan growth of $106 million, or 9.8% annualized. Total deposits increased by $100 million from the start of the year to $4.9 billion, while the tangible common equity ratio improved to 8.9%. Noninterest income totaled $15.3 million, exceeding the management forecast range of $11.3 million to $12.3 million, and included a $1.6 million gain from the exchange of Visa B2 shares to Visa Class C shares. Noninterest expense was $37.8 million, above the forecasted range of $36 million to $37 million, due to $4.4 million in merger-related costs and $400,000 in litigation expenses. The company completed its acquisition of HCB Financial Corp. on July 1, 2026, with full integration and a 40% cost savings realization expected by early 2027.
