INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS 2026 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.81 PER DILUTED SHARE

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 23, 2026 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported first quarter 2026 net income of $16.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, versus net income of $15.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Highlights for the first quarter of 2026 include:

•A net interest margin of 3.65% (three basis point increase from the linked quarter);

•Increase in net interest income of $0.5 million (or 1.1% ) over the fourth quarter of 2025;

•Increase in tangible common equity per share of common stock of $0.33 (or 5.9% annualized) from December 31, 2025;

•A return on average assets and a return on average equity of 1.24% and 13.43%, respectively;

•Net growth in total deposits, less brokered time deposits, of $80.4 million (or 6.9% annualized) from December 31, 2025;

•Net growth in loans of $31.8 million (or 3.0% annualized) from December 31, 2025;

•An increase in the tangible common equity ratio to 8.7%; and

•The payment of a $0.28 per share quarterly dividend on common stock on February 13, 2026.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “Our first quarter results reflect the strength of our core fundamentals, including growth in net interest income, expansion in our net interest margin to 3.65%, and continued growth in both loans and core deposits. Balance sheet growth remained disciplined, with $80.4 million in core deposit growth and $31.8 million in total loan growth, including $53.8 million, or 9.9% annualized, in commercial loans, reflecting continued execution of our strategic plan. Credit quality remains sound, and while geopolitical uncertainty has increased, we have not seen a direct impact on our customers and continue to monitor conditions closely. Profitability remained strong, with a return on average assets of 1.24% and a return on average equity of 13.43%. We remain encouraged by our momentum, optimistic about our opportunities, and confident in the benefits our recently announced merger with HCB Financial Corp. will provide to enhancing shareholder value.”

Significant items impacting comparable first quarter 2026 and 2025 results include the following:

•Changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Changes”) of $0.9 million ($0.04 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as

compared to $(1.5) million ($(0.06) per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $46.9 million during the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $3.2 million, or 7.3% from the year-ago period, and an increase of $0.5 million, or 1.1%, from the fourth quarter of 2025 which had two additional days of earnings. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.65% during the first quarter of 2026, compared to 3.49% in the year-ago period, and 3.62% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in the net interest margin from the prior quarter was supported by a 16 basis point decrease in the cost of deposits. The year-over-year quarter and linked quarter increases in net interest income were due to both an increase in average interest-earning assets and the higher net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets were $5.21 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $5.08 billion in the year-ago quarter and $5.16 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Non-interest income totaled $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $10.4 million in the comparable prior year period. This change was primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues.

Net gains on mortgage loans in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 were approximately $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The comparative quarterly decrease in net gains on mortgage loans was due to a decrease in the gain on sale margin that was partially offset by an increase in the volume of mortgage loans sold.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income (expense) of $1.6 million and $(0.6) million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The significant variance in mortgage loan servicing, net is primarily due to changes in the fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights associated with changes in interest rates and the associated expected future prepayment levels and expected float rates partially offset by a decline in servicing revenue. The decline in servicing revenue is attributed to the sale of approximately $931 million of mortgage servicing rights on January 31, 2025. Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $32.2 million and $31.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Mortgage loan servicing, net activity is summarized in the following table:


	Three months ended
	3/31/2026		3/31/2025
	(In thousands)
Mortgage loan servicing, net:
Revenue, net	$	1,636	$	1,882
Fair value change due to price	933		(1,533)
Fair value change due to pay-downs	(923)		(891)
Loss on sale of originated servicing rights	$	—	$	(94)
Total	$	1,646	$	(636)

Non-interest expenses totaled $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $34.3 million in the year-ago period. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, advertising and merger related expenses as well as a $1.5 million litigation expense recorded during the quarter.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. This compares to an income tax expense of $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The 2026 first quarter income tax expense includes a $0.2 million benefit from transferable energy tax credits.

Asset Quality

A breakdown of non-performing loans by loan type is as follows (1):


	3/31/2026			12/31/2025			3/31/2025
Loan Type	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial	$	27,077		$	23,531		$	127
Mortgage	9,953			8,683			8,080
Installment	745			860			819
Sub total	37,775			33,074			9,026
Less - government guaranteed loans	10,202			9,947			1,940
Total non-performing loans	$	27,573		$	23,127		$	7,086
Ratio of non-performing loans to total portfolio loans	0.64		%	0.54		%	0.17		%
Ratio of non-performing assets to total assets	0.51		%	0.44		%	0.14		%
Ratio of allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans	231.09		%	274.33		%	847.23		%

(1) Non performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $0.36 million and $0.72 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded loan net charge offs of $0.27 million and $0.07 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $63.7 million, or 1.48% of total portfolio loans compared to $63.4 million, or 1.48% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2025.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.56 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $51.8 million from December 31, 2025. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $4.31 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $4.28 billion at December 31, 2025. Deposits totaled $4.88 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $119.0 million from December 31, 2025. This increase is primarily due to increases in savings and interest-bearing checking, reciprocal, and brokered time deposits that were partially offset by a decrease in time deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $174.9 million at March 31, 2026, versus $138.4 million at December 31, 2025. Securities available for sale (“AFS”) totaled $482.3 million at March 31, 2026, versus $495.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Total shareholders’ equity was $510.6 million at March 31, 2026, or 9.19% of total assets compared to $503.0 million or 9.14% at December 31, 2025. Tangible common equity totaled $481.4 million at March 31, 2026, or $23.38 per share compared to $473.7 million or $23.05 per share at December 31, 2025. The increases in shareholders’ equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of earnings retention that was partially offset by an increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:


Regulatory Capital Ratios	3/31/2026		12/31/2025		Well Capitalized Minimum

Tier 1 capital to average total assets	9.43	%	9.36	%	5.00	%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	11.43	%	11.24	%	6.50	%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	11.43	%	11.24	%	8.00	%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets	12.68	%	12.49	%	10.00	%

At March 31, 2026, in addition to liquidity available from our normal operating, funding, and investing activities, we had unused credit lines with the FHLB and FRB of approximately $785.5 million and $1.36 billion, respectively. We also had approximately $440.7 million in fair value of unpledged securities AFS and HTM at March 31, 2026 which could be pledged for an estimated additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB of approximately $414.0 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which are any statements or information that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include statements about our anticipated future revenue and expenses and our future plans and prospects.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. For example, deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to us, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. Our results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of our investment securities; the outcome of pending litigation; legal and regulatory developments; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; and management’s ability to effectively manage the multitude of risks facing our business. Key risk factors that could affect our future results are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the other reports we file with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of our future results.

In addition, this release contains forward-looking statements regarding the proposed merger with HCB Financial Corp. ("HCB"). Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include: the risk that the merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the merger, including the receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both parties to terminate the merger agreement; the risk that the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk of business disruption during the pendency of the merger; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations; the risk that the integration of HCB's operations with ours will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected; and the potential for reputational risk related to the merger and integration.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Independent Bank Corporation

Independent Bank Corporation believes non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and performance trends. Tangible common equity is used by the Company to measure the quality of capital.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which are any statements or information that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include statements about our anticipated future revenue and expenses and our future plans and prospects. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. For example, deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to us, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. Our results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of our investment securities; legal and regulatory developments; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; and management’s ability to effectively manage the multitude of risks facing our business. Key risk factors that could affect our future results are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the other reports we file with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of our future results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. 2 2

Earning asset expansion is centered in commercial loans up $54 million and overnight liquidity, up $40 million. Runoff in lower yielding investments and consumer loans helped fund earning asset growth. Asset and liability yields were stable during the quarter, with asset yields up 2 basis points and liability costs 1 basis point higher. • The NII sensitivity position to lower rates declined modestly while the benefit to higher rates remained largely unchanged. Reduced exposure to lower rates is due to $75 million notional of floor purchases, termination of $87 million of short term pay fixed swaps and a slight shortening in the maturity structure of time deposits. The overall position is closely matched for smaller rate changes of +/- 100 basis points. The bank has modest exposure to larger rate declines and benefits from larger rate increases. • Base-rate is a static balance sheet applying the spot yield curve from the valuation date. • Stable core funding base. Transaction accounts fund 38.4% of assets and other non-maturity deposits fund another 17.4% of assets. Low wholesale funding of just 2.2% of assets. • 38.2% of assets reprice in 1 month and 49.3% reprice in the next 12 months. • Continually evaluating strategies to manage NII through hedging, funding strategies as well as product pricing and structure. Changes in Net Interest Income (Dollars in 000’s) Simulation analyses calculate the change in net interest income over the next twelve months, under immediate parallel shifts in interest rates, based upon a static statement of financial condition, which includes derivative instruments, and does not consider loan fees. 13

The decrease in servicing revenue is attributed to the sale of approximately $931 million of mortgage servicing rights on January 31, 2025. • Mortgage banking: − $1.3 million in net gains on mortgage loans in 1Q'26 vs. $2.3 million in the year ago quarter. The decrease is primarily due to lower profit margins on mortgage loan sales that was partially offset by an increase in volume of mortgage loans sold. − $130.6 million in mortgage loan originations in 1Q'26 vs. $107.8 million in 1Q’25 and $134.3 million in 4Q'25. − 1Q'26 mortgage loan servicing includes a $0.9 million ($0.04) per diluted share, after tax) increase in fair value adjustment due to price compared to a decrease of $1.5 million ($0.06 per diluted share, after tax) in the year ago quarter.

Outlook for 2026 Outlook for 2026 *as of January, 2026 • IBCP forecast of approximately 4.5%-5.5% overall loan growth is based on an increase in commercial loans (11%-12%) with mortgage loans (0%-1%) and installment loans declining (5.0%-5.5%). • This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. • The forecast assumes 0.25% Fed rate cuts in March and August in the federal funds rate while long-term interest rates increase slightly over year-end 2025 levels. • IBCP forecast of high-single digit (7%-8%) growth is primarily supported by an increase in earning assets and a favorable shift in the earning asset base. Expect the net interest margin (NIM) to increase (0.18% - 0.23%) in 2026 compared to full-year 2025. Primary driver is a decrease in yield on interest bearing liabilities that is partially offset by a decrease in earning asset yield. • Very difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels under CECL will be particularly sensitive to loan growth and mix, projected economic conditions, watch credit levels and loan default volumes. • The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.48% at 12/31/25 • A full year 2026 provision (expense) for credit losses of approximately 0.20%-0.25% of average total portfolio loans would not be unreasonable. 1Q'26 Update • Total portfolio loans increased $31.8 million (3.0% annualized) in 1Q’26 which is below our forecasted range. Commercial loan growth of $53.8 million (9.9% annualized), mortgage loan decrease of $4.5 million (-1.2% annualized) and installment loan decrease of $17.5 million (-13.2% annualized). • 1Q’26 net interest income was $3.2 million (7.3%) higher than the prior year quarter which is within the forecasted range. The net interest margin was 3.65% for the current quarter and 3.49% for the prior year quarter and up 0.03% from the linked quarter. • The provision for credit losses was an expense of $0.4 million (0.03% annualized) for the first quarter below the forecasted range.

Outlook for 2026 Outlook for 2026 *as of January, 2026 • Quarterly 2026 forecasted range of $11.3M to $12.3M. Full year up 3.0% to 4.0% from 2025 actual of $45.6M • Expect mortgage loan origination volumes to be down 6.0% to 7.0% and net gain on sale to be down 14.0% to 16.0% compared to full year 2025. Assumes mortgage loan servicing net of approximately $0.5M per quarter in 2026. • IBCP forecasts 2026 quarterly range of $36.0M to $37.0M with the total for the year up 5.0% to 6.0% from the 2025 actual of $138.2M. • The primary driver is an increase in compensation and employee benefits, data processing; loan and collections and occupancy. • Approximately a 17% effective income tax rate in 2026.This assumes a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate during 2026. • 2026 share repurchase authorization at approximately 5% (1.1 million) of outstanding shares. • Share repurchases will be dependent on capital levels, capital allocation options and share price trends. We are not modeling any share repurchases in 2026. 1Q'26 Update • Non-interest income totaled $12.0 million in 1Q’26, which is within the forecasted range. Mortgage loan originations increased $22.8 million over the prior year quarter while net gain as percentage of mortgages loans sold was 1.23% below the prior year quarter. • Total non-interest expense was $38.3 million in the 1Q’26, which was higher than our forecasted quarterly range. Non-recurring expense items include $1.5 million in litigation expense and $0.4 million true up related to promotional payments to deposit customers. • Actual effective income tax rate of 16.6% for the first quarter of 2026. • There were no shares of common stock repurchased in the first quarter of 2026.
