LOWELL, Mass.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:
EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announced net income of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010,
compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 89%. Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $5.5 million compared to $2.9 million for the comparable 2009 period, an
increase of 90%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 and $0.60 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to $0.17 and $0.36 for each of the same periods in 2009, increases of 65% and 67% respectively.
The increase in net income is primarily attributed to growth in loans, deposits and investment assets under
