DISCUSSION OF RESULTS Presentation of Results - The Merger The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, with Berkshire treated as the legal acquirer and Brookline treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.

At the time of the Merger, Berkshire contributed, after fair value purchase accounting adjustments, approximately $12.1 billion in assets, $9.1 billion in loans, $1.1 billion in investment securities and $10.3 billion in deposits.The Company's financial results for any periods ended on or prior to June 30, 2025 reflect Brookline's results only on a standalone basis.

Excluding the impact of the Merger, loans and leases decreased $419.4 million from June 30, 2025, and decreased $592.3 million from September 30, 2024.

INCOME STATEMENT The following information for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes one month of combined Company activity and two months of legacy Brookline standalone results.

NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased $43.9 million to $132.6 million during the third quarter of 2025 from $88.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin increased 40 basis points to 3.72 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 3.32 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by higher yields for one month on the marked loan portfolio and lower funding costs driven by declines in borrowed funds. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 increased $6.3 million to $12.3 million from $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the one month of combined Company activity which resulted in increases of $2.5 million in deposit fees, $1.0 million in wealth management fees, and $0.9 million in gain on sales of loans and leases from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") business line. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $87.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase in provision reflects purchase accounting associated with the Merger of $77.9 million including $69.5 million on funded loans and $8.4 million on unfunded commitments. Excluding Merger related accounting adjustments, the provision was $9.6 million, $2.6 million higher than the prior quarter. This increase was reflective of continued stress in the Boston office sector and additional specific reserves on one large Eastern Funding equipment financing credit.Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were $15.9 million compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2025.The $15.9 million in net charge-offs reflect the charge-off of previously reserved amounts of $5.0 million for a C&I credit in the Boston market and $5.7 million for two large Eastern Funding equipment financing credits, with the remaining charge-offs primarily associated with a larger number of smaller 44 Business Capital SBA loans and Eastern Funding equipment financing loans. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 51 basis points for the third quarter of 2025 from 21 basis points for the second quarter of 2025.The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.39 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2025, compared to 1.32 percent at June 30, 2025, and 1.31 percent at September 30, 2024. ASSET QUALITY The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.54 percent at September 30, 2025, a decrease of 0.11 percent from 0.65 percent at June 30, 2025. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $36.3 million to $98.6 million at September 30, 2025, from $62.3 million at June 30, 2025. The increase included $23.9 million of nonaccrual loans assumed through the Merger. The remaining increase was driven by one large commercial real estate deal put on nonaccrual during the quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.45 percent at September 30, 2025, a decrease from 0.55 percent at June 30, 2025. Total nonperforming assets increased $38.4 million to $102.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $63.6 million at June 30, 2025. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 increased $77.3 million to $135.3 million from $58.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by one-time Merger and restructuring expenses of $51.9 million. Excluding these one-time charges, non-interest expense increased $23.2 million driven by one month of combined expenses as well as an increase of $2.2 million in amortization of identified intangible assets. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate was 27.8 percent and 33.7 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 25.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 24.7 percent and 24.6 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
