Exhibit 99.1
Eastern Bankshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
BOSTON, April 29, 2021 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Eastern Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company,” or together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Eastern”) (NASDAQ Global Select Market: EBC), the stock holding company of Eastern Bank, today announced 2021 first quarter financial results. Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $47.7 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $44.1 million, or $0.26 per share, reported for the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating net income* for the first quarter of 2021 was $46.5 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $31.6 million, or $0.18 per share, reported for the fourth quarter of 2020.
The quarter over quarter increase in operating net income* of $14.9 million is attributed to a combination of seasonally high insurance revenues which increased $5.7 million, notably higher interest rate swap revenue driven by an increase in the fair value of these transactions which was due to higher longer term interest rates, higher salary and wage expense deferrals in part due to Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) lending activity, and lower incentive compensation expense. In addition to these items, which are expected to be specific to the first quarter, Eastern continued to make progress on improving its overall profitability and efficiency.
The release of the Company’s quarterly financial results follows its announcement of the pending merger with Century Bancorp, Inc. (“Century”). Eastern expects the merger will create a combined franchise with approximately $22 billion in total assets and solidify Eastern’s leading position in Boston and eastern Massachusetts. The merger is expected to close in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, shareholder approval, and other standard conditions. The Company also recently announced a 33% increase to its quarterly cash dividend to $0.08 per share.
“We’re off to a tremendous start in 2021 and I’d like to thank all of our employees for their contributions,” said Bob Rivers, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. and Eastern Bank. “Our financial results for the first quarter show strong organic growth, sound asset quality, and reflect our continued commitment to be a source of financial support to businesses in need during the pandemic with the origination of $453 million in PPP loans in the first quarter. As we look to the future, our recently announced agreement to merge with Century is the next step in our journey towards expanding our presence in the communities we serve, and we look forward to welcoming Century’s customers.”
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021
•Net income was $47.7 million, or $0.28 per share, and operating net income* was $46.5 million, or $0.27 per share.
•Total revenue was $155.3 million and total operating revenue* was $153.6 million driven by seasonally high insurance revenues of $28.1 million.
•Release of loan loss reserves of $0.6 million, with $178.4 million in remaining COVID-19 modified loans.
•Originated $452.6 million in new PPP loans to approximately 4,700 borrowers.
•Book value and tangible book value per share* were $18.14 and $16.12, respectively.
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets were $16.7 billion at March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $0.8 billion or 5% from December 31, 2020.
•Available for sale securities increased $0.8 billion, or 25%, on a consecutive quarter basis, to $4.0 billion, as excess liquidity was deployed into U.S. Agency securities. Cash and equivalents declined $0.2 billion to $1.9 billion.
•Total loans were $9.9 billion, representing an increase of $186.0 million or 2% from the prior quarter as originations, including $452.6 million in new PPP loans, outpaced PPP forgiveness and other loan paydowns. Total PPP loans were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2021.
•Deposits totaled $13.0 billion, representing an increase of $0.8 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2020.
•Shareholders’ equity was $3.4 billion, representing a decrease of $41.0 million or 1% from the prior quarter. The increase in retained earnings of $37.3 million was more than offset by the after-tax market value decline of the available for sale investment portfolio, which drove the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $80.4 million. The decline in market value can be attributed to the increase in medium and long-term rates during the quarter.
•At March 31, 2021, book value per share was $18.14 and tangible book value per share* was $16.12.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $100.1 million for the first quarter, compared to $103.6 million in the prior quarter, representing a decrease of $3.5 million on a consecutive quarter basis. There were two fewer days in the first quarter as compared to
the prior quarter. Included in net interest income was $8.3 million and $6.1 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) PPP fee accretion net of deferred cost amortization in the first quarter and prior quarter, respectively. Also included in prior quarter net interest income was a favorable nonrecurring item of $3.8 million. The increase in PPP fee recognition on a consecutive quarter basis was attributable primarily to an increase in PPP loan forgiveness rates in the first quarter. Between December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, $240.7 million in PPP loans were forgiven through the SBA or otherwise paid down.
The net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) basis* was 2.71% for the first quarter, representing a 13 basis points decrease from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower earning asset yields driven by the low rate environment coupled with higher average balances.
Please refer to Appendix E for a four-quarter trend analysis of the adjusted core margin*.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $55.2 million for the first quarter, compared to $49.6 million for the prior quarter, representing an increase of $5.6 million.
•Insurance commissions increased $5.7 million to $28.1 million in the first quarter, compared to $22.4 million in the prior quarter, driven by seasonality. Compared to the prior year quarter, insurance commissions increased $0.7 million, or 2%.
•Trust and investment advisory fees increased $0.2 million on a consecutive quarter basis to $5.7 million due to higher equity values.
•Loan-level interest rate swap revenue was $5.4 million in the first quarter, compared to $2.5 million in the prior quarter, representing an increase of $2.9 million that was primarily driven by a $3.0 million increase in the fair value of such interest rate swap transactions due to higher market interest rates.
•Income on securities held in rabbi trust accounts was $1.8 million in the first quarter compared to $5.5 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of $3.7 million primarily due to lower equity market gains in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
•Mortgage origination activity was lower in the first quarter as compared to the prior quarter with the gain on sale of loans totaling $1.5 million, down $1.9 million from the prior quarter. This was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in the gain/loss on commitments to sell mortgage loans which is recorded in other income.
•The gain on sale of available for sale securities was $1.2 million in the first quarter, representing an increase of $1.2 million from the prior quarter, due to portfolio repositioning.
Please refer to Appendix B for a reconciliation of operating revenues and expenses*.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $94.0 million for the first quarter representing a decrease of $105.1 million, or 53%, from the prior quarter of $199.2 million. Prior quarter noninterest expense included costs associated with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and initial public offering (“IPO”), including a $91.3 million donation of stock to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation (“EBCF”). Excluding this and other non-operating items for the respective quarters, noninterest expense on an operating basis* for the first quarter of 2021 was $92.5 million, compared to $101.8 million in the prior quarter.
•Salaries and benefits were $64.0 million in the first quarter, representing a decrease of $6.3 million from the prior quarter. The decline was driven by a reduction in incentive compensation expense of $3.9 million that was in part due to the decline in total shareholders’ equity attributable to higher market interest rates, a decrease in the defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“DC SERP”) expense of $1.9 million associated with the lower market value increase in assets held in rabbi trust accounts, and higher expense deferrals of $1.8 million due in part to PPP lending activity. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in payroll taxes of $2.3 million quarter over quarter.
•Other noninterest expense declined from $6.2 million in the prior quarter to $0.5 million in the first quarter, a decline of $5.7 million. The Company recorded impairment charges on tax credit investments of $3.2 million in the prior quarter, whereas no impairment was recorded in the first quarter. Included in other noninterest expense are components of the Company’s pension expense which were $2.3 million lower in the first quarter compared to the prior quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in pension service cost of $0.8 million which is included in salary and benefit expense.
•Professional services expenses were $4.1 million in the first quarter, representing a decrease of $1.2 million from the prior quarter.
•Marketing expenses were $1.7 million in the first quarter, representing a decrease of $1.1 million from the prior quarter.
Please refer to Appendix B for a reconciliation of operating revenues and expenses*.
ASSET QUALITY
The allowance for credit losses was $111.1 million at March 31, 2021, or 1.12% of total loans, compared to $113.0 million or 1.16% of total loans at December 31, 2020. The Company released loan loss reserves totaling $0.6 million in the first quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million in the prior quarter. The Company followed the incurred loss allowance GAAP accounting model at March 31, 2021 and all preceding periods.
Non-performing loans totaled $44.0 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $43.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded total net charge-offs of $1.4 million, or 0.06% of average total loans on an annualized basis compared to $3.3 million and 0.13% in the prior quarter, respectively.
At March 31, 2021, approximately $178.4 million in COVID-19 modified loans remained under modified payment terms, down from $332.7 million at December 31, 2020. Of the $178.4 million in COVID-19 modified loans at March 31, 2021, $86.4 million were loans that have been modified at least twice.
Please refer to Appendix F and Appendix G for detail on the Company’s lending exposure to industries which management believes are most likely to experience adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a detailed breakout on COVID-19 related loan modifications.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
*Denotes a non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release.
A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding (or including) amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in the Company’s statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements).
The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses to evaluate the Company’s performance, and which exclude the effects of certain transactions that management believes are unrelated to its core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of its current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into the Company’s core businesses as well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
There are items in the Company’s financial statements that impact its financial results, but which management believes are unrelated to the Company’s core business. Accordingly, the Company presents noninterest income on an operating basis, total operating revenue, noninterest expense on an operating basis, operating net income, operating earnings per share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average shareholders’ equity, the operating efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest income to total revenue on an operating basis. Each of these figures excludes the impact of such applicable items because management believes such exclusion can provide greater visibility into the Company’s core business and underlying trends. Such items that management does not consider to be core to the Company’s business include (i) income and expenses from investments held in rabbi trusts, (ii) gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, (iii) gains and losses on the sale of other assets, (iv) rabbi trust employee benefits, (v) impairment charges on tax credit investments and associated tax credit benefits, (vi) expenses indirectly associated with the Company’s IPO, (vii) other real estate owned (“OREO”) gains, (viii) merger and acquisition expenses, and (ix) the stock donation to the EBCF in connection with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO. The Company does not provide an outlook for its total noninterest expense because it contains expense components, such as expense associated with rabbi trust accounts, which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its noninterest expense on an operating basis to an outlook for total noninterest expense cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.
Management also presents the Company’s core net interest margin which excludes the impact of items management determines as being one-time in nature or not indicative of its core operating results. Such items include the impact of excess liquidity in the form of excess cash volume, PPP loans originated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and material purchase accounting adjustments. Similarly, management presents certain asset quality metrics excluding PPP loans which it does not consider to be part of the Company’s core portfolios. These metrics include the ratio of total nonperforming loans to total loans excluding PPP loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans excluding PPP loans. The Company anticipates that the vast majority of its PPP loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 will be forgiven during 2021, and to the extent not forgiven, a PPP loan is intended to be 100% guaranteed by the SBA.
Management also presents tangible assets, tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and the ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, as management believes these financial measures provide investors with the ability to further assess the Company’s performance, identify trends in its core business and provide a comparison of its capital adequacy to other companies. The Company included the tangible ratios because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management to assess performance and identify trends.
These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be considered an alternative or substitute for financial results or measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indication of the Company’s cash flows from operating activities, a measure of its liquidity position or an indication of funds available for its cash needs. An item which management considers to be non-core and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular period. In addition, management’s methodology for calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other banking companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures, and accordingly, the Company’s reported non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the same or similar performance measures reported by other banking companies.
Please refer to Appendices A-E for reconciliations of the Company's GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify these statements from the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results described in the forward-looking statements.
Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include developments in the Company’s market relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the severity and duration of the associated economic slowdown, adverse developments in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, risks associated with its proposed merger with Century, including the possibility that revenue or expense synergies or the other expected benefits of the transaction may not materialize for the Company in the timeframe expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; that the transaction may not be timely completed, if at all; that prior to the completion of the transaction or thereafter, the Company’s or Century’s businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; that the Company is unable to successfully implement integration strategies; that required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not obtained or other closing conditions are not satisfied in a timely manner or at all; that the timing of completion of the proposed merger is dependent on various factors that cannot be predicted with precision at this point; reputational risks and the reaction of the companies’ customers to the transaction; the inability to implement onboarding plans and other consequences associated with mergers; and diversion of management time on merger-related issues, as well as general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiary Eastern Bank are engaged. For further discussion of such factors, please see the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Further, given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict what continued effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's business and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related local and national economic disruption may result in a continued decline in demand for the Company's products and services; increased levels of loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures; an increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses; a decline in the value of loan collateral, including real estate; a greater decline in the yield on the Company's interest-earning assets than the decline in the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities; and increased cybersecurity risks, as employees continue to work remotely. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's expectations only as of the date of this press release. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify these statements from the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results described in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include developments in the Company’s market relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the severity and duration of the associated economic slowdown, adverse developments in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, risks associated with its proposed merger with Century Bancorp, Inc., including the possibility that revenue or expense synergies or the other expected benefits of the transaction may not materialize for the Company in the timeframe expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; that the transaction may not be timely completed, if at all; that prior to the completion of the transaction or thereafter, the Company’s or Century’s businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; that the Company is unable to successfully implement integration strategies; that required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not obtained or other closing conditions are not satisfied in a timely manner or at all; that the timing of completion of the proposed merger is dependent on various factors that cannot be predicted with precision at this point; reputational risks and the reaction of the companies’ customers to the transaction; the inability to implement onboarding plans and other consequences associated with mergers; and diversion of management time on merger-related issues, as well as general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiary Eastern Bank are engaged. For further discussion of such factors, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Further, given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict what continued effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's business and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related local and national economic disruption may result in a continued decline in demand for the Company's products and services; increased levels of loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures; an increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses; a decline in the value of loan collateral, including real estate; a greater decline in the yield on the Company's interest-earning assets than the decline in the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities; and increased cybersecurity risks, as employees continue to work remotely. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's expectations only as of the date of this presentation. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding (or including) amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in the Company’s statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements). The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses to evaluate the Company’s performance, and which exclude the effects of certain transactions that management believes are unrelated to its core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of its current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into the Company’s core businesses as well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures. There are items in the Company’s financial statements that impact its financial results, but which management believes are unrelated to the Company’s core business. Accordingly, the Company presents noninterest income on an operating basis, total operating revenue, noninterest expense on an operating basis, operating net income, operating earnings per share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average shareholders’ equity, the operating efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest income to total revenue on an operating basis. Each of these figures excludes the impact of such applicable items because management believes such exclusion can provide greater visibility into the Company’s core business and underlying trends. Such items that management does not consider to be core to the Company’s business include (i) income and expenses from investments held in rabbi trusts, (ii) gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, (iii) gains and losses on the sale of other assets, (iv) rabbi trust employee benefits, (v) impairment charges on tax credit investments and associated tax credit benefits, (vi) expenses indirectly associated with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and initial public offering ("IPO"), (vii) other real estate owned gains, (viii) merger and acquisition expenses, and (ix) the stock donation to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation ("EBCF") in connection with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO. The Company does not provide an outlook for its total noninterest income because it contains components, such as income from investments held in rabbi trusts, which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its noninterest income on an operating basis to an outlook for total noninterest income cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. The Company also does not provide an outlook for its total noninterest expense because it contains expense components, such as expense associated with rabbi trust accounts, which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its noninterest expense on an operating basis to an outlook for total noninterest expense cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. Management also presents the Company’s core net interest margin which excludes the impact of items management determines as being one-time in nature or not indicative of its core operating results. Such items include the impact of excess liquidity in the form of excess cash volume, PPP loans originated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and material purchase accounting adjustments. Similarly, management presents certain asset quality metrics excluding PPP loans which it does not consider to be part of the Company’s core portfolios. These metrics include the ratio of total nonperforming loans to total loans excluding PPP loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans excluding PPP loans. The Company does not provide an outlook for its ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans because it contains components, such as the volume of PPP loans which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans to an outlook for its ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. The Company does not provide an outlook for its ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans because it contains components, such as the volume PPP loans which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans to an outlook for its ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans excluding PPP loans cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. The Company anticipates that the vast majority of its PPP loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 will be forgiven during 2021, and to the extent not forgiven, a PPP loan is intended to be 100% guaranteed by the SBA. Management also presents tangible assets, tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and the ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, as management believes these financial measures provide investors with the ability to further assess the Company’s performance, identify trends in its core business and provide a comparison of its capital adequacy to other companies. The Company included the tangible ratios because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management to assess performance and identify trends. These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation should not be considered an alternative or substitute for financial results or measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indication of the Company’s cash flows from operating activities, a measure of its liquidity position or an indication of funds available for its cash needs. An item which management considers to be non-core and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular period. In addition, management’s methodology for calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other banking companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures, and accordingly, the Company’s reported non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the same or similar performance measures reported by other banking companies. Please refer to Appendices A-E for a reconciliations of the Company's GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures
