  • Wealth management assets under management reached a record $10.3 billion, with positive net flows and $9.8 billion in AUM.

  • Completed HarborOne merger core system conversion, with cost savings on track and one-time charges nearly complete.

  • Announced a 15% dividend increase and repurchased 3.9 million shares for $75.1 million, marking six consecutive years of dividend growth.

  • Loan and deposit balances declined modestly from year-end, reflecting seasonal trends and merger impacts, but commercial loan pipelines ended at record highs.

Financial highlights

  • Noninterest income was $43.6 million, down $2.5 million sequentially, mainly due to weaker equity markets and lower swap income.

  • Noninterest expense was $198.6 million, up $9.2 million sequentially and 52.7% year-over-year, driven by merger-related costs and higher payroll.

  • Provision for loan losses was $5.8 million, down from $6.6 million year-over-year.

  • Book value per share ended at $18.45; tangible book value per share at $12.90.

Outlook and guidance

  • No changes to full-year guidance; expect to achieve projections but may trend toward the lower end of NII guidance ($1.02B–$1.05B) due to softer Q1 loan growth and deposit pricing pressure.

  • Commercial lending pipelines at record highs support confidence in strong originations; residential portfolio to remain flat.

  • Expense run rate expected to moderate over the remainder of 2026.

  • Provision guidance remains unchanged ($30M–$40M), with a cautious approach due to early stage of HarborOne integration and macro uncertainty.

  • CET1 ratio targeted at ~12% by mid-2026 as share repurchases continue.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
