Beacon Financial Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results

Net Income of $64.4 million, EPS of $0.77

Quarterly Dividend of $0.3225

BOSTON, July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beacon Financial Corporation (NYSE: BBT) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $64.4 million, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $46.2 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, and $22.0 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.

“Our results this quarter demonstrate improved operating momentum, disciplined execution, and continued progress following our merger integration,” said Paul Perrault, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“We grew total assets, deposits and non-interest income modestly, expanded the net interest margin, and reduced expenses, while maintaining our focus on credit discipline and long-term value creation for our stockholders. While competition is intense and the external environment remains unsettled, we are well positioned to build on this progress in the quarters ahead.”

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 the period ended June 30, 2025 reflect Brookline’s results only on a standalone basis. As a result, the Company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2026 may not be directly comparable to prior reported periods.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets increased $23.3 million during the quarter to $22.3 billion at June 30, 2026. Total assets increased $10.7 billion from June 30, 2025, primarily due to the assets assumed in the Merger.

Total loans and leases decreased $101.9 million to $17.8 billion at June 30, 2026 from March 31, 2026, primarily due to a decline in commercial real estate and equipment financing loans, partially offset by an increase in commercial and consumer loans, and increased $8.2 billion from June 30, 2025, primarily due to the loans and leases assumed in the Merger.

Total investment securities at June 30, 2026 increased $42.6 million to $1.8 billion from March 31, 2026, and increased $894.6 million from June 30, 2025, primarily due to investment securities assumed in the Merger.

Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 increased $103.2 million to $1.2 billion from March 31, 2026, and increased $709.4 million from June 30, 2025, primarily due to cash and equivalents assumed in the Merger.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2026 increased $193.6 million from March 31, 2026, consisting of a $92.8 million increase in customer deposits and a $102.5 million increase in brokered deposits while payroll deposits remained flat. Total deposits increased $9.5 billion from June 30, 2025, primarily due to the deposits assumed in the Merger.

Total borrowed funds at June 30, 2026 decreased $183.9 million from March 31, 2026, and decreased $266.5 million from June 30, 2025.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 11.41 percent at June 30, 2026, compared to 11.27 percent at March 31, 2026, and 10.84 percent at June 30, 2025. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 9.25 percent at June 30, 2026, compared to 9.07 percent at March 31, 2026, and 8.82 percent at June 30, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) increased $0.50 from $23.48 at March 31, 2026 to $23.98 at June 30, 2026, and increased $12.78 from $11.20 at June 30, 2025.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $2.4 million to $193.2 million during the second quarter of 2026 from $190.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The net interest margin increased 3 basis points to 3.81 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 3.78 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by a higher yield on loans and leases and lower funding costs offset by lower interest income as a result of a decline in average loan balances.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased $2.0 million to $26.0 million from $23.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $1.2 million in gain on sales of loans and leases, $0.6 million in loan level derivative income, net, and $0.4 million in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million decline in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) income.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decline in provision quarter over quarter was largely driven by a lower level of outstanding loans and minimal credit deterioration compared to the prior quarter.

Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.3 million compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2026. The $14.3 million in net charge-offs were primarily driven by a Boston office loan, a large industrial laundry loan at Eastern Funding, and two rent controlled multi-family properties. These charge-offs were largely specifically reserved for in prior periods. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 32 basis points for the second quarter of 2026 from 30 basis points for the first quarter of 2026.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.34 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.36 percent at March 31, 2026, and 1.32 percent at June 30, 2025.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.86 percent at June 30, 2026, an increase of 0.03 percent from 0.83 percent at March 31, 2026. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $4.0 million to $152.7 million at June 30, 2026, from $148.6 million at March 31, 2026. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.70 percent at June 30, 2026, an increase from 0.68 percent at March 31, 2026. Total nonperforming assets increased $3.9 million to $155.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $151.2 million at March 31, 2026. The increase in nonperforming assets was largely driven by higher nonaccruals at Eastern Funding.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 decreased $13.6 million to $127.3 million from $140.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, of which included $13.0 million related to merger and restructuring expenses which were completed in the first quarter of 2026. The remaining $0.6 million decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $1.8 million in equipment and data processing expense driven by system consolidation, $1.3 million in occupancy expense, and $1.0 million in FDIC insurance expense, partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in other non-interest expense primarily due to an increase of $1.1 million in loan workout expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 26.0 percent and 27.7 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 29.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 25.6 percent and 25.3 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 1.17 percent during the second quarter of 2026 from 0.84 percent for the first quarter of 2026.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity increased to 10.15 percent during the second quarter of 2026 from 7.32 percent for the first quarter of 2026. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP) increased to 12.84 percent for the second quarter of 2026 from 9.30 percent for the first quarter of 2026.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC.
