Camden National Corporation Reports First Quarter 2024 Earnings of $13.3 Million and Diluted EPS of $0.91

Asset Quality, Capital and Liquidity Remain Strong 

CAMDEN, Maine, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; “Camden National” or the “Company”) today reported earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company reported first quarter net income available to common shareholders of $13.3 million and earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $0.91.

The Company continues to prioritize strong asset quality within the portfolio, which allowed the Company to release $2.1 million in the provision for credit losses, including a $910,000 recovery on the sale of the Signature Bank corporate bond that the Company wrote off in 2023. Excluding the sale of the Signature Bank corporate bond, the Company reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2024 of $12.6 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.86, each an increase of 1% over the fourth quarter of 2023.

“We are pleased with our first quarter financial results, demonstrating we can be nimble and take action to manage expenses, while managing the dynamics of our balance sheet,” said Simon Griffiths, president and chief executive officer of Camden National Corporation. “Our operating results reflect our dedication to prudent risk management and the benefits of a relationship banking approach, which have allowed us to build a solid financial foundation. Our confidence comes from our strategic plan centered around our strong customer base and driving long-term profitable growth, stewarded by a talented team across our organization.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31, 2024, total assets were $5.8 billion, an increase of 1% since December 31, 2023.

Investments totaled $1.2 billion on March 31, 2024, a decrease of 2% since December 31, 2023. We continue to redeploy monthly cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth and maximize asset yield growth. The investment portfolio represented 20% of total assets at March 31, 2024, compared to 21% of total assets at December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the duration of the Company’s securities was 5.5 years and 5.7 years, respectively, and the weighted-average life was 7.8 years at each date.

Loans totaled $4.1 billion on March 31, 2024, an increase of 1% since December 31, 2023, driven by commercial real estate loan growth of 2%. In the first quarter of 2024, we sold 50% of our residential mortgages originated and our residential real estate loans were slightly down from December 31, 2023. We continue to actively manage and review our loan portfolio, particularly our commercial real estate loans in light of the current macroenvironment and its effects on commercial real estate. Our disciplined and consistent underwriting of loans has served us well and there are no significant signs of distress in our loan portfolio. On March 31, 2024, loans 30-89 days past due to total loans were 0.05% of total loans, compared to 0.12% at December 31, 2023, and annualized net charge-offs were 0.02% of average loans for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 0.03% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans was 0.86% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 0.90% at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the ACL was 4.7 times total non-performing loans, compared to 5.0 times at December 31, 2023.

Deposits totaled $4.6 billion on March 31, 2024, a decrease of 1% since December 31, 2023. Checking account balances decreased 4% during the quarter, primarily due to seasonality and our active rate management of a single higher-cost deposit relationship of $72.0 million. From time to time, we move in and out of certain higher-cost deposit relationships based on funding needs and to optimize our funding costs.

As part of our effort to optimize funding costs and our interest rate risk position, in the first quarter of 2024 we refinanced our existing Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) loan of $135.0 million that was scheduled to mature in May 2024 and increased our borrowings in the BTFP to $225.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.76% scheduled to mature in January 2025. The Company may exercise its right to prepay the BTFP at any time without penalty.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios were each well in excess of regulatory capital requirements. The Company’s common equity ratio was 8.66%, and its tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) was 7.12%, compared to 8.66% and 7.11%, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 5.01%, based on the Company’s closing share price of $33.52, as reported by NASDAQ on March 28, 2024 (the last trading day of the first quarter of 2024), payable on April 30, 2024, to shareholders of record on April 15, 2024.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company initiated a new share repurchase program for up to 750,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the Company’s shares outstanding. This share repurchase program replaces the 2023 program. We did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of 2024.

1 Uncollateralized 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 (Q1 2024 vs. Q4 2023)

Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $13.3 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 57%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Over the same period, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased $143,000, and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) increased $0.01, each an increase of 1%.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $31.3 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The decline was driven by a decrease in net interest margin of 10 basis points to 2.30% for the first quarter of 2024. Funding costs increased 17 basis points to 2.27% for the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in average non-interest checking and savings balances of 5% and 4%, respectively.

Negative provision expense of $2.1 million was recorded for the first quarter of 2024 and was driven by favorable asset quality and an improved macroeconomic outlook, combined with modest loan growth during the quarter of less than 1%. Also, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold its Signature Bank corporate bond it had written-off in 2023 and recorded a partial recovery of $910,000.

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $10.3 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 72%, over the fourth quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we executed on a balance sheet repositioning strategy and sold certain investment securities, which resulted in a $5.0 million pre-tax loss, with no corresponding investment gains or losses in the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a decrease in debit card income of $600,000 between periods, which was driven by the recognition of our annual Visa incentive bonus in the fourth quarter of 2023 that totaled $400,000.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $27.4 million, a decrease of $484,000, or 2%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we took certain actions to maintain and manage costs in response to revenue pressures from a decreasing net interest margin. Our GAAP efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2024 was 65.78% and non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 65.55%.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including certain plans, expectations, goals, projections and other statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. 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; adjusted 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.
