2015 SUMMARY REPORT
Building on yesterday
Growing for tomorrow
Serving you today
Competition in financial services today allows no time to rest. Traditional business models are being
constantly challenged by disruptive technology firms. Fast and creative “fintech” start-ups are
increasingly forcing banks to think differently and make significant investments in innovation while
continuing to invest in growth, compliance, and security in the face of continued pressure on
operating margins.
At Eastern Bank we did all that in 2015. We continued to grow by integrating past acquisitions and
undertaking additional ones. We introduced ground-breaking new technology to better serve our
customers. And we kept building our technology and risk management infrastructure as we moved
closer to becoming a $10 billion bank.
We also stayed ahead of today’s competition while staying true to our original mission of providing
affordable banking services and credit to all people by once again being New England’s leader in
small business loans and by investing in a broad array of community development projects throughout
eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. And we continued to elevate our support
of those who are under-represented and in need through our advocacy for social justice and our
extensive philanthropic and community service efforts.
We’ve instilled a culture of innovation within our nearly 200-year-old mutual bank as well. We're
working to anticipate the future and act before our competitors, while remaining committed to meeting
our customers' needs today.
"We introduced ground-breaking new technology
to better serve our customers."
GROWTH
We continued our growth in 2015, building our
New Hampshire Division through the successful
integration of the former Centrix Bank & Trust,
which Eastern acquired in 2014. Due to the
efforts of our new colleagues there, we were
able to generate record loan volumes in that
market while providing more products and
services to former Centrix customers.
In addition, Eastern Insurance acquired three
new agencies—Sullivan Insurance of Quincy,
Doran Insurance of Duxbury and Northwestern
Benefit Associates of Boston—representing
almost 1,400 new customers and over $5
million in new annual revenues.

EASTERN BANK 2015 • SUMMARY REPORT
We’re making fundamental changes to the way
we engage customers. In 2015, Eastern Labs
introduced the “Express Business Loan,” its first
product and a remarkable innovation that
allows our existing small business customers to
secure a loan of up to $100,000 in as little as
five minutes. With this new service the loan
decision is made with the essentially same

to secure a loan in as little as five minutes.
information as in the past, but the software
automates what customers and bankers once
did manually. Our Express Business Loan is the
kind of ground-breaking new product that we
formed Eastern Labs to build. It allows small
business owners to spend more time growing
their companies and less time enduring the often
difficult and cumbersome process of applying
for a loan.
We also introduced Nuance’s “voice biometric
authentication”, a new service that has
dramatically improved the way we verify our
customers’ identity. Customers who call
1-800-EASTERN are now validated simply by the
sound of their voice. We were the first bank in
North America to launch this technology,
eliminating an inconvenience and annoyance for
our customers whose identity was previously
determined through a
series of questions.
We launched Apple
Pay™ for customers
last year as well, a
mobile payment and
digital service by
Apple Inc. that allows
our customers to
make payments using their Apple devices such
as their iPhone® or iPad®. Our customers are
using their mobile device for services of all kinds.
We’re helping them with the best financial
solutions. And we installed our first interactive
teller machine called “Talk2Teller” at our newly
remodeled Reading, Mass. office. Talk2Teller
allows customers to conduct virtually any typical
business with a teller, but is done remotely
through a drive-up ATM with video/audio
capabilities.

registered in the U.S. and other countries. Apple Pay and iPad

COMMUNITY
As a community bank, our success depends upon
a vibrant and prosperous community. We provide
financial support to non-profits and community
organizations, along with the thousands of hours
our employees donate to local causes. In 2015 we
financed projects for underserved youths, shelters
for homeless families and affordable housing for
homeless veterans. We backed projects to promote
racial understanding, international cultural events,
LGBT communities and programs to address
substance abuse and chronic health issues.
Our employees volunteered for numerous events
that raised money and awareness of issues
impacting people of color, citizens with disabilities
and elder services. They built homes on the South
Shore, walked for kids in Boston, helped organize
a veterans’ appreciation parade on the North Shore
and raised money for beds and box springs for
families in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Corporate social responsibility has grown in
prominence in recent years, but Eastern Bank has
been practicing it for nearly two centuries as it is
central to the reason we were first founded. We
take these actions not only because they are the
right thing to do in support of our mission, but
because they are in our business interests as well
by helping to build our communities.
Eastern employees earned a Silver Medal at the 36th
Annual Boston Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival.

Commitment to Customers and Colleagues
COMMERCIAL BANKING
Although community banks are usually known
for providing superior service and products for
individuals and families, commercial lending is
actually the largest part of Eastern’s loan portfolio,
supporting the growth of businesses that create
jobs and economic activity throughout the markets
we serve. In 2015, record loan originations to
our commercial clients totaled almost $1.4 billion.
Growth in our commercial loan portfolio has
outpaced the growth of similar loans in other
banks in our market. Over the last five years,
we have experienced commercial loan growth
of more than 10 percent annually, a remarkable
achievement following a deep economic
recession. During that time we added about
$3 billion in net new loans, all of it within our
market area.
This year we increased our investment in
federal tax credits in the financing of affordable
housing, including workforce housing, housing
for lower income individuals and in economically
challenged neighborhoods. We did the same with
new market tax credits which were focused on
economically distressed areas. We also invested
in federal tax credits for lending to the construction
of solar energy farms. Such farms often sell
the electricity to cities and towns, but we also
backed a project in which the energy purchaser
was a nonprofit organization for affordable
housing developments.
Among the loans we made in 2015 were loans to
JRM Hauling and Recycling, and to the Nordblom
Company of Burlington, Mass., to assist in the
development of "3rd Ave" in Burlington, a dynamic
mix of commercial and residential space anchored
by a 140,000 square-foot Wegmans.
Eastern Bank’s Dan Field worked with JRM Hauling
and Recycling’s James Motzkin (right) and Jimmy
Motzkin (middle) on a $12.5 million loan to finance
a new recycling facility in Peabody, Mass.
Eastern provided $72 million in total financing,
which was used to develop 100,000 square-feet
of retail on 3rd Ave as well as 180 apartments
adjacent to the retail development. Retail tenants
include Kings, Tony C’s, PAUL Bakery, The
Bancroft Restaurant and Carter’s Jewelry.
Eastern Bank’s Nicholas Moise worked with Nordblom Company to provide $72 million to finance
“3rd Ave” in Burlington, Mass. Pictured is Moise (center) with Nordblom Company’s Peter Nordblom,

providing unbiased advice and expertise.
Our investment process begins with a detailed
understanding and analysis of a client’s
specific situation and investment style. Then
we follow a proven, disciplined process and
offer customized recommendations tailored
to the client’s goals.
SMALL BUSINESS
INSURANCE
With about $70 million in revenues, Eastern
Insurance has grown to become one of the
largest insurance agencies in New England,
offering personal and commercial property and
casualty insurance and employee benefit
plans. Our 340 professionals serve more than
70,000 clients and we have direct relationships
with more than 50 national and regional
insurance carriers.
Since 2002, Eastern Insurance has completed
21 acquisitions, including three more in 2015:
Sullivan Insurance, an agency based in Quincy,
Mass., with nearly 300 customers, added to
our moving and storage niche; Doran Insurance
Agency of Duxbury, Mass., added more than
600 customers and doubled our size in the
private client space; and we gained nearly 500
new customers in the group benefits field by
purchasing Northwestern Benefit Associates
of Boston.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
With $2 billion in assets under management,
our Wealth Management team provides
investment management and financial planning
services to individuals and non-profits. Our
50 experienced professionals are committed
to delivering high quality financial services by
At Eastern, small business lending is not only
an important part of our business—it’s been
a central part of our banking mission for 197
years. We continually ask ourselves how we
can meet specific credit needs and general
banking needs of small business. Last year
we were named the No. 1 Small Business
Administration (SBA) lender in New England for
the sixth consecutive year, placing us among
the top ten SBA lenders in the United States.
EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
Eastern Bank employees understand the
mission our bank has had for nearly 200
years—to provide services for those who
are underserved. They recognize the greater
good we perform for our customers and
in our communities. With every non-profit
organization the bank supports and every
need that we address, they’re reminded that
they are part of an organization with a genuine goal of making our communities better
places to live and work. Once again, for the
eighth consecutive year, we were named
one of the “Best Places to Work” by The
Boston Globe. We’re also proud to have been
recognized for the third year in a row as one
of the “Best Places to Work for Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender Equality” by the
Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT
civil rights advocacy group in America.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Our ties to our communities go back nearly 200 years to our founding in 1818 as The Institution
for Savings in Salem, Mass. Our mission then, as it remains today, is to help those who are
underserved by the traditional banking system. Our founders were so committed to this mission
that they staffed the bank themselves, volunteering one day each week to provide affordable
deposit services and credit services to all people.
That spirit and continuing commitment motivates us to do all that we can to strengthen our
communities. Our Community Strategy has five foundational pillars upon which all of our activities
rest: Philanthropy, Volunteerism, Business Practices, Advocacy and Leadership.
PHILANTHROPY
This year, the Boston Business Journal once
again recognized Eastern as one of the most
charitable companies in the region. Since 1999,
we have donated over 10% of our net income
to charity—a rate more than seven times the
national corporate median—representing a total
that now exceeds $100 million. The Eastern
Bank Charitable Foundation provides financial
support for select nonprofit organizations in
eastern Massachusetts and southern and
coastal New Hampshire communities. In 2015,
the Foundation awarded more than 2,000
grants, totaling $6.9 million.
In 2011, we began dedicating a portion of our
total giving to grants in areas such as affordable
housing and homelessness, community health
care, workforce development, and K-12
education. In 2015, the Foundation awarded
199 grants totaling $1.5 million to Massachusetts
and New Hampshire organizations working to
address the myriad of issues associated with
violence including: anti-bullying, hate crimes,
domestic abuse, sexual assault, physical
abuse, and safe neighborhoods.
In addition, we honored 61 Massachusettsand New Hampshire-based nonprofits with
$850,000 in grants at the eleventh Annual
"Community Quarterback" celebration.
Football great Doug Flutie made his annual
presentation, this year throwing a pass to a
recipient that was intercepted in an April Fools'
Day prank by Malcolm Butler.
And President and COO Bob Rivers accepted
the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from Kevin
Gosnell, CEO and Founder of T&K Asphalt
headquartered in Whitman, Mass., a customer
and friend who is suffering from ALS. In honor
of Kevin, we enlisted the Frates Family, whose
son Pete started the Ice Bucket Challenge, to
help us “Dunk Bob” in a dunk tank and raise
more than $33,000 for ALS research.
Local heroes Malcolm Butler, Doug Flutie and the Frates Family helped us
celebrate and support the communities we serve.

VOLUNTEERISM
At Eastern, community service is part of our DNA. We hire people who look for opportunities to step
forward to help, which benefits the community and provides fun and fulfillment for them. In 2015, our
1,800 employees, once again, donated more than 50,000 hours in community service, a level far in
excess of most other area companies.
Our Heart of Eastern Volunteer Network provides volunteer opportunities for hundreds of our
employees and information on organizations for people who want to volunteer on their own. Last
year the volunteer network, in collaboration with Catholic Charities of Boston North, held the 5th
Annual Food Drive in which more than 12 drop-off locations collected bags of food and gift cards
to support those in need. Through the volunteer network, our employees also collected 400 teddy
bears for Project Smile, which distributed them to children involved in traumatic incidents. And we
collected over 20,000 toys for Toys for Tots in support of children in need during the holidays.
Through our third annual Eastern Bank Celebration of Service in September, hundreds of Eastern
Bank personnel and their family members volunteered to work with such organizations as the
Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Cradles to Crayons, Family and Children Services of Greater Lynn,
Rosie’s Place, the Greater Lawrence Boating Program and the Brockton School on Wheels.
We participated in Boston PRIDE, North Shore PRIDE, Portsmouth PRIDE and Worcester PRIDE in
support of the LGBT community; joined with Habitat for Humanity to build a home and raised more
than $10,000 at the South Shore Walk for Hospice, an event we’ve supported since 2001.

“COMMUNITY BANKER OF THE YEAR”
In 2015, Eastern Bank Chairman and CEO Rich Holbrook was
named a “Community Banker of the Year” by American Banker.
The national industry newspaper and website noted that during his
tenure the bank increased its assets by more than five times and
became a "household name across New England." It also highlighted
his foresight in embracing technology to respond to customer changes
and upstart competitors, as well as for positioning Eastern “as a
survivor in an industry that’s destined for consolidation.” Rich’s strong
commitment to social justice was also noted.

Management’s Letter
For Eastern, 2015 was much like the prior year, both in terms of the economic
environment, our financial performance, and our overall progress in several key areas.
Although economic conditions continued to improve, interest rates remained at record
lows, putting continued pressure upon our operating margins. This compression upon
earnings was further exacerbated by the significant costs associated with meeting everincreasing regulatory and technology requirements.
Despite these challenges, our net income of $62.6 million was 14% higher than 2014 and
we ended the year with record levels of assets ($9.6 billion), deposits ($8.1 billion), and
loans ($7.1 billion), while enjoying the strongest credit quality in our company’s history.
As a result, our total capital levels of $1.2 billion also ended the year at record levels,
representing a tangible equity ratio of 9.13%.
Our banking professionals produced our fifth consecutive year of strong loan growth
of 5.4%, driven by record originations of commercial and home equity loans, and
supported by solid deposit growth of 4.3%—due to another record year for checking
deposit balances and accounts. In addition, our diverse business mix continued to deliver
benefits in 2015 as both Eastern Insurance and Eastern Wealth Management generated
continued growth in fee income and profitability.
While we continued to grow organically, this resulting combination of outstanding
asset quality, strong capital and liquidity, and increased revenue diversity allowed us to
continue to leverage our position as America’s oldest and largest mutual bank by making
significant investments in order to help drive our continued growth, future sustainability,
and relevance.
We successfully integrated Centrix Bank & Trust which we acquired in late 2014,
achieving outstanding levels of customer retention and new business generation,
providing a solid foundation upon which to build our New Hampshire franchise in the
years ahead.
Eastern Insurance purchased three more agencies in 2015, bringing our total number
of insurance acquisitions since 2002 to 21. Sullivan Insurance of Quincy, Mass.;
Doran Insurance Agency of Duxbury, Mass.; and Northwestern Benefit Associates of
Boston added over $5 million in combined new annual revenues and almost 1,400 new
customers. With about $70 million in total revenues, Eastern Insurance is now the 51st
largest agency in the country.
In addition, we continued to make significant investments in technology, data analytics,
and risk management in order to generate and support additional growth. Our recentlyestablished innovation center, Eastern Labs, introduced its first product, providing our
small business customers with the opportunity to obtain a loan of up to $100,000 in as
little as five minutes from application to funding—completely digitally—representing
12
the easiest, fastest, and most transparent borrowing experience offered by any bank in
the United States. More importantly, our work in this area has begun to significantly
influence many other initiatives designed to better serve our customers, positioning us
to more effectively compete with an increasing number of technology start-ups within
financial services.
The continued success of our business also provides us with the opportunity to further
our mission through our various and expanding philanthropic, community service, and
advocacy initiatives. In 2015 we contributed $5.5 million to the Eastern Bank Charitable
Foundation, plus $1.7 million directly to local charities, distributing a record $6.9 million
in grants to more than 1,500 local charities. As a result, the Boston Business Journal
recognized us as one of the most charitable companies in the region.
We also continued to earn more accolades in 2015 for our activities in the pursuit of
equal opportunity and social justice for all. For the third consecutive year, Eastern was
recognized by the Human Rights Campaign as one of the “Best Places to Work for
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equality” and one of the “Top Places to Work”
by The Boston Globe for the eighth consecutive year.
During 2015, seven Corporators, Kasey Coredini, Edward W. Kirk, Gordon H. Lewis,
Jr., Vivien Li, Katherine N. Pendergast, Richard Shmishkiss and Patricia Zlotin, seven
Trustees, Ferdinand Alvaro, Jr., Robert V. Antonucci, Frank D’Orio, Jane E. Hager,
John M. Shesky, William L. Thompson, and Ralph Yohe, and one director, Deborah
H. Bornheimer, retired after many years of service. We thank them for their leadership,
dedication and support. We also mourn the passing and remember the legacy of three
honorary trustees, Martha DeBoer, Joseph Ryan, and Robert W. Welch.
As we look to the future, we continue to be excited by the many opportunities available
to us to increasingly meet the needs of our customers and the many communities we
serve. As always, we greatly appreciate the confidence of our customers, the tremendous
work of our Eastern colleagues, the guidance of our Board, and the support of our
many friends and community partners which make our work and continued success and
progress possible.
Sincerely,
