Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2024, amounted to
The increase in interest income during the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior year quarter, was due primarily to loan growth and higher loan yields, while the increase in interest expense during the period was attributed primarily to an increase in certificates of deposit balances and higher market rates on deposits.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, amounted to
Three months ended – December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023
Net interest margin was positively impacted by loan growth and an increase in loan yields, offset by increases in average funding liabilities and funding costs as well as a decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets.
The increase in interest-earning asset yields of 27 basis points was due primarily to loan repricing and originations at higher interest rates while the increase in funding costs of 29 basis points was driven by higher market rates and growth in certificate of deposit balances.
Three months ended – December 31, 2024, compared to September 30, 2024
The increase in net interest margin was due primarily to loan growth and a decrease in funding costs, partially offset by decreases in interest-earning asset yields and the average balance of other interest-earning assets.
The decreases in funding costs of 10 basis points and interest-earning asset yields of 3 basis points were driven primarily by the 100 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate from September 2024 through December 2024. In addition, the decrease in other interest-earning assets resulted mainly from funding loan growth during the period.

Such statements reflect the current views of Independent Bank Corp. (“Independent”) and Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (“Enterprise”) with respect to future events and financial performance, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs, expectations, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often, but not always, may be identified by words such as expect, anticipate, believe, intend, potential, estimate, plan, target, goal, or similar words or expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, may, might, should, would, could, or similar variations.
