Operating Earnings of $64.7 million, Operating EPS of $0.77

Quarterly Dividend of $0.3225

Board Increases Stock Buyback Authorization to $125 million

BOSTON, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beacon Financial Corporation (NYSE: BBT) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $61.2 million, or $0.73 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $64.4 million, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, and a net loss of $(4.2) million, or $(0.05) per basic share, for the third quarter of 2025. The Company reported operating earnings after tax (non-GAAP) of $64.7 million, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to operating earnings after tax (non-GAAP) of $64.4 million, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, and $34.0 million, or $0.39 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.

“Our quarterly results reflect improvement in net interest income and net interest margin. My early conversations and feedback from our clients and frontline bankers indicate positive momentum to come. At the same time, continued macroeconomic uncertainty and the higher-rate environment contributed to greater caution amongst borrowers and weighed on our overall loan growth,” said Sean Gray, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

“Since stepping into the CEO role shortly before the end of the quarter, I have focused on continuing the Company’s regular practice of engaging with shareholders, employees and clients, while aligning our senior leaders around the highest-impact opportunities to improve our financial and operating performance. Our immediate priorities are clear: greater expense discipline, stronger core funding, disciplined loan growth, continued credit vigilance, more diversified fee income and returning capital to shareholders. We’re committed to identifying decisive management-controlled actions that accelerate near-term performance and strengthen long-term franchise value.”

“The board has decided to increase the stock repurchase authorization to $125 million to reflect its confidence in our franchise, our capital position and the significant value we see in our shares. Going forward, investors should expect a more structured approach to capital allocation, one that supports organic growth, maintains balance sheet strength, and delivers attractive returns to shareholders.”

Presentation of Results - The Merger

The Company’s merger of equals (the “Merger”) with Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (“Brookline”), completed on September 1, 2025, 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 periods ended September 30, 2025 reflect one month of combined Company activity and eight months of legacy Brookline standalone results. As a result, the Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2026 may not be directly comparable to prior reported periods.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets decreased $375.4 million during the quarter to $21.9 billion at September 30, 2026. Total assets decreased $991.9 million from September 30, 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents relating to a decline in payroll deposits due to the timing of payroll activity relative to quarter-end.

Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026 decreased $444.8 million to $771.4 million from June 30, 2026, and decreased $449.3 million from September 30, 2025.

Total loans and leases decreased $169.8 million to $17.7 billion at September 30, 2026 from June 30, 2026, and decreased $653.0 million from September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decline in commercial real estate, consumer and equipment financing loans, partially offset by an increase in commercial loans. Total investor commercial real estate as a percentage of total risk based capital declined to 295 percent as of September 30, 2026, achieving the goal we outlined in our initial merger announcement.

Total investment securities at September 30, 2026 increased $195.2 million to $2.0 billion from June 30, 2026, primarily driven by a $335.5 million purchase during the quarter and increased $217.1 million from September 30, 2025.

Total deposits as of September 30, 2026 decreased $303.3 million from June 30, 2026, primarily driven by a decrease of $326.7 million in payroll deposits and a decrease of $120.0 million in customer deposits, partially offset by an increase of $143.4 million in brokered deposits. Total deposits decreased $721.5 million from September 30, 2025, consisting of a $531.2 million decrease in brokered deposits, a $159.0 million decrease in payroll deposits, and a small decline of $31.3 million in customer deposits. Average balance total deposits increased 1 percent linked quarter.

Total borrowed funds at September 30, 2026 decreased $113.1 million from June 30, 2026, and decreased $305.0 million from September 30, 2025.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 11.52 percent at September 30, 2026, compared to 11.41 percent at June 30, 2026, and 10.76 percent at September 30, 2025. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 9.35 percent at September 30, 2026, compared to 9.25 percent at June 30, 2026, and 8.56 percent at September 30, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) decreased $0.17 from $23.98 at June 30, 2026 to $23.81 at September 30, 2026, and increased $1.06 from $22.75 at September 30, 2025.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $3.9 million to $197.2 million during the third quarter of 2026 from $193.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The net interest margin increased 4 basis points to 3.85 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from 3.81 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 remained consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The increase in the provision quarter over quarter was driven by the deterioration of three larger CRE loans that required specific reserves, offset by a decline in criticized and classified loans from $813 million to $763 million during the quarter.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2026 were $13.5 million compared to $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. The $13.5 million in net charge-offs were primarily driven by the restructuring of a large ABL transaction as well as smaller dollar charge-offs in the commercial portfolios. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 30 basis points for the third quarter of 2026 from 32 basis points for the second quarter of 2026.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.32 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2026, compared to 1.34 percent at June 30, 2026, and 1.39 percent at September 30, 2025.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.91 percent at September 30, 2026, an increase of 0.05 percent from 0.86 percent at June 30, 2026. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $7.9 million to $160.6 million at September 30, 2026, from $152.7 million at June 30, 2026. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.75 percent at September 30, 2026, an increase from 0.70 percent at June 30, 2026. Total nonperforming assets increased $7.9 million to $163.1 million at September 30, 2026 from $155.2 million at June 30, 2026. The increase in nonperforming assets was largely driven by two of the three larger CRE deals referenced above.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 increased $5.4 million to $132.7 million from $127.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, of which $5.1 million was related to restructuring expenses in the third quarter of 2026 compared to none in the second quarter of 2026. The remaining $0.3 million increase was primarily driven by elevated commercial loan servicing fees of $1.0 million, increases in marketing expense of $0.6 million and occupancy expense of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in technology expense and a decrease of $0.8 million in compensation and employee benefits expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 25.0 percent and 26.7 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 26.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 49.8 percent and 20.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets decreased to 1.11 percent during the third quarter of 2026 from 1.17 percent for the second quarter of 2026.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity decreased to 9.55 percent during the third quarter of 2026 from 10.15 percent for the second quarter of 2026. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP) decreased to 12.02 percent for the third quarter of 2026 from 12.84 percent for the second quarter of 2026.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.3225 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The dividend will be paid on November 20, 2026 to stockholders of record on November 6, 2026.
