•Our capital position remained strong with regulatory capital ratios well in excess of required regulatory levels. At June 30, 2024, our common equity ratio was 8.88% and, on a non-GAAP basis, tangible common equity ratio was 7.34%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, 2024, total assets were $5.7 billion, a decrease of 1% since March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by lower cash balances of $71.2 million between periods.

Investments totaled $1.1 billion on June 30, 2024, a decrease of 2% since March 31, 2024. We continue to redeploy monthly cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth to maximize our earning-asset yield. The investment portfolio represented 20% of total assets on June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the duration of the Company's securities was 5.5 years, and the weighted average life was 7.2 years at each date.

Loans totaled $4.1 billion on June 30, 2024, an increase of $18.3 million since March 31, 2024, driven by a 3% increase in our commercial loans and a 2% increase in consumer and home equity loans during the quarter. In the second quarter of 2024, we sold 52% of our residential mortgage production.

Asset quality through the second quarter of 2024 remained strong. We continue to review our loan portfolio and, to-date, we have not identified any signs of systemic stress. On June 30, 2024, loans 30-89 days past due to total loans remained flat from March 31, 2024 at 0.05% of total loans. Annualized net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 increased 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2024 to 0.04% of average loans. The Company's allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans was 0.86% as of June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024. On June 30, 2024, the ACL was 3.7 times the total non-performing loans, compared to 4.7 times on March 31, 2024.

Deposits totaled $4.5 billion on June 30, 2024, a decrease of 1% since March 31, 2024. Checking account balances decreased by 2% during the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to normal business activities of one of our large commercial relationships and managed outflow of high-cost municipal deposits to optimize our funding costs. In the second quarter of 2024, we launched a high-yield savings deposit product in an effort to raise cost effective deposits and drive new customer acquisition. Through this new product, we drove savings deposit growth of 8% during the second quarter of 2024.

In June 2024, we prepaid a portion of our Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") funding totaling $55.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had remaining BTFP funding of $170.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.76% that is scheduled to mature in January 2025.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company's regulatory capital ratios were each well in excess of regulatory capital requirements. The Company's common equity ratio was 8.88%, and, on a non-GAAP basis, its tangible common equity ratio was 7.34%, compared to 8.66% and 7.12%, respectively, at March 31, 2024.

The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 5.09%, based on the Company's closing share price of $33.00, as reported by NASDAQ on June 28, 2024 (the last trading day of the second quarter of 2024), payable on July 31, 2024, to shareholders of record on July 15, 2024.

The Company repurchased 50,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.19 per share through the first six months of 2024.

1Uncollateralized deposits are customer deposits for which the Company has not pledged any of its assets, including investment securities, or provided any other type of guarantee

FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024)

Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 10%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by negative provision expense in the first quarter of 2024 of $2.1 million compared to provision expense of $650,000 for the second quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, pre-tax, pre-provision income was $15.5 million an increase $1.3 million, or 9%, between the same periods.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $32.2 million, an increase of $911,000, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by net interest margin expansion of six basis points between periods to 2.36% for the second quarter of 2024. Interest-earning asset yields increased 14 basis points to 4.58% for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the deployment of investment cash flows to fund new loan originations at current market interest rates and the maturity of a $100.0 million balance sheet derivative in June 2024 that contributed to the yield increase in the commercial real estate loan portfolio. The increase in our earning-asset yield more than offset the increase in funding costs, which increased eight basis points to 2.35% for the second quarter of 2024, led by an eight basis point increase in deposit costs to 2.05% over the same period.

Provision expense of $650,000 was recorded for the second quarter of 2024, consisting of provision for loan losses of $188,000 and the provision for unfunded commitments of $462,000. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2024 was driven by modest loan growth. The provision for unfunded commitment for the second quarter of 2024 was driven by the increase in the committed commercial loan pipeline to $148.4 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $86.0 million as of March 31, 2024.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $10.6 million, an increase of $323,000, or 3%, over the first quarter of 2024. The increase between periods was driven by an increase in debit card income of $203,000, and brokerage and wealth management income of $323,000 in total. Mortgage banking income was lower by $292,000 between periods and was driven by the change in fair value on loans held for sale and loan pipelines.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $27.3 million, a decrease of $52,000, compared to the first quarter of 2024. We continue to manage costs in response to revenue pressures from the current economic environment. Our GAAP efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2024 was 63.77% and non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 63.53%, compared to 65.78% and 65.55% for the first quarter of 2024, respectively.

They often include words like "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures; inflation; ongoing competition in labor markets and employee turnover; deterioration in the value of Camden National's investment securities; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud, pandemics and natural disasters; legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged; turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions which could affect Camden National's ability to attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or raise capital; actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; changes to regulatory capital requirements in response to recent developments affecting the banking sector; changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in Camden National's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Further, statements regarding the potential effects of the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and other notable and global current events on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possible materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Company's control. Camden National does not have any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; tangible book value per share; core deposits and average core deposits. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in this document.

ANNUALIZED DATA

Certain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period and is presented for illustrative purposes only.
