Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 1, 2025, Independent Bank Corp. (“Independent”) completed acquisition of Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (“Enterprise”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 8, 2024 (the “merger agreement”), by and among Independent, Rockland Trust Company (“Rockland Trust”), Enterprise and Enterprise Bank and Trust Company (“Enterprise Bank”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, Enterprise merged with and into Independent, with Independent as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and each share of Enterprise common stock outstanding was converted into the right to receive 0.60 shares of Independent's common stock and $2.00 in cash, with cash also to be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Total merger consideration payable to equity-holders consisted of approximately 7,478,906 shares of Independent common stock and an aggregate of $25.9 million in cash, which included approximately $902,000 in cash paid for stock option cancellations and $44,000 cash in lieu to fractional shares. The transaction is accounted for as an acquisition and accordingly, Enterprise assets and liabilities are recorded by Independent at their fair market value as of July 1, 2025.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes present how the combined financial statements of Independent and Enterprise may have appeared had the Merger been completed at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the impact of the Merger on the combined balance sheets and combined statements of income under the acquisition method of accounting with Independent as the acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Enterprise assets and liabilities are recorded by Independent at their fair market value as of the date that the Merger is completed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 assumes the Merger was completed on that date. The unaudited condensed combined statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the year ending December 31, 2024 have been prepared as if the Merger was completed on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Independent, which are available on the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the financial statements and related notes of Enterprise, which are incorporated into this document by reference and included.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative and informative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative or representative of the financial position or results of operations presented as of the date or for the periods indicated, or the results of operations or financial position that may be achieved in the future. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that Independent may achieve as a result of its acquisition of Enterprise, the costs to integrate the operations of Independent and Enterprise or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.
