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.
