FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this document that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Form 10-Q the words "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "plan," "potential," "estimate," "project," "believe," "intend," "anticipate," "expect," "target" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including among other things, changes in general economic and business conditions, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory change, changes in the financial markets, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A. of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company’s past results of operations do not necessarily indicate future results. You should not place undue reliance on any of the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. The Company is not undertaking an obligation to update forward-looking statements, even though its situation may change in the future, except as required under federal securities law. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

BAR HARBOR BANKSHARES AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) of Bar Harbor Bankshares and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Bar Harbor”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Bar Harbor Bankshares is a Maine Financial Institution Holding Company for the purposes of the laws of the state of Maine, and as such is subject to the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the "Bank") and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

In addition, these interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to GAAP have been omitted.

The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

Reclassifications: Whenever necessary, amounts in the prior years’ financial statements are reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The disclosures below supplement the accounting policies previously disclosed in NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Operating, Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to COVID-19:

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy. In response to this crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief. Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - The CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that may otherwise be categorized as a TDR and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes.
Paycheck Protection Program - The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), an expansion of the Small Business Administration’s 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), administered directly by the SBA. 
Mortgage Forbearance - Under the CARES Act, through the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the termination date of the COVID-19 national emergency, a borrower with a federally backed mortgage loan that is experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 may request a forbearance. A multifamily borrower with a federally backed multifamily mortgage loan that was current as of February 1, 2020, and is experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 may request forbearance on the loan for up to 30 days, with up to two additional 30-day periods at the borrower’s request.

11

Table of Contents

Also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment.
Past Due Reporting - With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement. If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral.
Nonaccrual Status and Risk Rating - For short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as having a classified risk rating.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Adopted in 2020

ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

This ASU amends Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The Company still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary

January 1, 2020

Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020, as required, and the ASU did not have a material impact on its financial statements. Goodwill testing is normally scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter, but was evaluated quarterly in 2020 in light of the economic impacts of COVID-19. The Company recognized no impairments to goodwill in the second quarter of 2020. See management’s discussion and analysis for further details.

ASU 2018-13 Changes to Disclosure Requirements Fair Value Measurement, Topic 820

This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.

January 1, 2020

Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has adopted ASU 2018-13, as of January 1, 2020, as required, and the ASU did not have a material impact to the disclosures as a result of the adoption.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2018‑19, Codification Improvements to ASU 2016-13

This ASU amends Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses to replace the current incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss approach ("CECL") for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The amendments require entities to consider all available relevant information when estimating current expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The resulting allowance for credit losses is to reflect the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. The amendments also eliminate the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and certain off-balance sheet exposures. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required upon adoption.

While the CECL model does not apply to available for sale debt securities, the ASU does require entities to record an allowance when recognizing credit losses for available for sale securities with unrealized losses, rather than reduce the amortized cost of the securities by direct write-offs. The guidance will require companies to recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than interest income over time.

The ASU should be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Entities that have loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at the time of adoption should prospectively apply the guidance in this amendment for purchase credit deteriorated assets.

January 1, 2020

Adoption of this ASU is expected to primarily change how the Company estimates credit losses with the application of the expected credit loss model. The Company will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company's CECL implementation efforts in the second quarter focused on model validation, continueing to develop new disclosures and establish formal policies and procedures and other governance and control documentation. Certain elements of the calculation were finalized in the second quarter, including refinement of the model assumptions, the qualitative framework, internal control design, model validation, and the operational control framework to support the new process. Furthermore, changes to the economic forecasts within the model could positively or negatively impact the actual results.

The ASU was originally effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020; however, the CARES Act issued in 2020 provided an option to delay the implementation of CECL until the earlier of when the national emergency associated with COVID-19 virus terminates or December 31, 2020. The Company elected to delay the adoption. Had CECL been adopted as of January 1, 2020, the Company estimates that the allowance for credit losses would have increased $5.0 to $10.0 million over the balance reported as of December 31, 2019.

ASU 2018-14 Compensation- Disclosure Requirements for Defined Pension Plans Topic 715-20

This ASU makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other post-retirement benefit plans.

January 1, 2021

Early adoption is permitted.

Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04 Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform, Topic 848

This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). For instance, companies can (1) elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. A company that makes this election would not have to re-measure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Companies, can also (2) elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Finally, companies can (3) make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform.

May be elected through December 31, 2022.

The Company is currently evaluating all of its contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that will be effected by reference rates that are being discontinued and determining which elections need to be made.

Securities Impairment: As a part of the Company’s ongoing security monitoring process, the Company identifies securities in an unrealized loss position that could potentially be other-than-temporarily impaired. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses.

The Company expects to recover its amortized cost basis on all securities in its AFS portfolio. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2020, prior to this recovery. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover.

Table of Contents

The following summarizes, by investment security type, the basis for the conclusion that securities in an unrealized loss position were not OTTI at June 30, 2020:

US Government-sponsored enterprises

42 out of the total 618 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government-sponsored enterprises were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 0.98% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation guarantee the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US Government-sponsored enterprises. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

US Government agency

12 out of the total 170 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government agency securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 1.21% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Government National Mortgage Association guarantees the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US Government agency securities. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Private label

11 of the total 18 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS private label mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 4.34% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. Based upon the expectation that the Company will receive all of the future contractual cash flows related to the amortized cost on these securities, the Company does not consider there to be any additional other-than-temporary impairment with respect to these securities.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof

3 of the total 190 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS municipal bonds and obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 0.25% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company continually monitors the municipal bond sector of the market carefully and periodically evaluates the appropriate level of exposure to the market. At this time, the Company feels the bonds in this portfolio carry minimal risk of default and the Company is appropriately compensated for the risk. There were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Corporate bonds

16 out of the total 33 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS corporate bonds were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate unrealized loss represents 4.89% of the amortized cost of bonds in unrealized loss positions. The Company reviews the financial strength of all of these bonds and has concluded that the amortized cost remains supported by the expected future cash flows of these securities. The most recent review includes all bond issuers and their current credit ratings, financial performance and capitalization.

The carrying amount of the acquired loans at June 30, 2020 totaled $709.8 million. A subset of these loans was determined to have evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition date, which is accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. These purchased credit-impaired loans presently maintain a carrying value of $14.8 million (and total note balances of $18.7 million). These loans are evaluated for impairment through the periodic reforecasting of expected cash flows. Acquired loans considered not impaired at the acquisition date had a carrying amount of $695.0 million as of June 30, 2020.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as non-performing at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment and may result in a specific allowance amount allocated to an individual loan.

The following tables include the recorded investment and number of modifications identified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The table includes the recorded investment in the loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured. Modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, payment amounts, extensions of maturity, court ordered concessions or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. There were no modifactions qualifying as TDR’s for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no loans that were restructured that had subsequently defaulted during the period. The evaluation of certain loans individually for specific impairment includes loans that were previously classified as TDRs or continue to be classified as TDRs.

Modifications in response to COVID-19

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The CARES Act along with a joint agency statement issued by banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 do not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for more information.

Foreclosure

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company maintained bank-owned residential real estate with a fair value of $2.3 million. Additionally, residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate that are in the process of foreclosure as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $537 thousand and $810 thousand, respectively.

Mortgage Banking

The Bank sells loans in the secondary market and retains the ability to service many of these loans. The Bank earns fees for the servicing provided. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The risks inherent in servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in interest rates.

Servicing rights activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, included in other assets, was as follows:

NOTE 4.               ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for an estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when the Company believes collectability has declined to a point where there is a distinct possibility of some loss of principal and interest. While the Company uses the best information available to make the evaluation, future adjustments may be necessary if there are significant changes in conditions.

The allowance is comprised of four distinct reserve components: (1) specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated; (2) quantitative reserves related to loans collectively evaluated; (3) qualitative reserves related to loans collectively evaluated; and (4) a temporal estimate is made for incurred loss emergence period for each loan category within the collectively evaluated pools.

A summary of the methodology employed on a quarterly basis with respect to each of these components in order to evaluate the overall adequacy of the Company's allowance for loan losses is as follows:

Specific Reserve for Loans Individually Evaluated

First, the Company identifies loan relationships having aggregate balances in excess of $150 thousand with potential credit weaknesses. Such loan relationships are identified primarily through the Company's analysis of internal loan evaluations, past due loan reports, TDRs and loans adversely classified. Each loan so identified is then individually evaluated for impairment. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Substantially all impaired loans have historically been collateral dependent, meaning repayment of the loan is expected or is considered to be provided solely from the sale of the loan's underlying collateral. For such loans, the Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is generally determined utilizing current appraisals. A specific reserve is established in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the recorded investment in each impaired loan over the fair value of its underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. The Company's policy is to re-evaluate the fair value of collateral dependent loans at least every twelve months unless there is a known deterioration in the collateral's value, in which case a new appraisal is obtained.

Purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are collectively evaluated, but are not included in the general reserve as described below. The evaluation of the PCI loans requires continued quarterly assessment of key assumptions and estimates similar to the initial fair value estimate, including changes in the severity of loss, timing and speed of payments, collateral value changes, expected cash flows and other relevant factors. The quarterly assessment is compared to the initial fair value estimate and a determination is made if an adjustment to the allowance for loan loss is deemed necessary.

Quantitative Reserve for Loans Collectively Evaluated

Second, the Company stratifies the loan portfolio into two general business loan pools: substandard (7 risk-rated) and pass-rated (0 to 6 risk-rated) by loan type. Substandard rated loans are subject to higher credit loss rates in the allowance for loan loss calculation. The Company utilizes historical loss rates for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans assessed by internal risk rating. Historical loss rates on residential real estate and consumer loans are not risk graded. Residential real estate and consumer loans are considered as part of the pass-rated portfolio unless removed due to specific reserve evaluation based on past due status and/or other indications of credit deterioration. Quantitative reserves relative to each loan pool are established as follows: for all loan segments an allocation equaling 100% of the respective pool's average 3-year historical net loan charge-off rate (determined based upon the most recent 12 quarters) is applied to the aggregate recorded investment in the pool of loans. Purchased performing loans are collectively evaluated as their own separate category within each loan pool.

Table of Contents

Qualitative Reserve for Loans Collectively Evaluated

Third, the Company considers the necessity to adjust the average historical net loan charge-off rates relative to each of the above two loan pools for potential risks factors that could result in actual losses deviating from prior loss experience. Such qualitative risk factors considered are: (1) lending policies and procedures, (2) business conditions, (3) volume and nature of the loan portfolio, (4) experience, ability and depth of lending management, (5) problem loan trends, (6) quality of the Company’s loan review system, (7) concentrations in the loan portfolio, (8) competition, legal, and regulatory environment and (9) collateral coverage and loan-to-value.

Loss Emergence Period for Loans Collectively Evaluated

Fourth, the general allowance related to loans collectively evaluated includes an estimate of incurred losses over an estimated loss emergence period ("LEP"). The LEP is generated utilizing a charge-off look-back analysis, which evaluates the time from the first indication of elevated risk of repayment (or other early event indicating a problem) to eventual charge-off to support the LEP considered in the allowance calculation. This reserving methodology establishes the approximate number of months of LEP that represents incurred losses for each loan portfolio within each portfolio segment in addition to the qualitative reserves.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are, as follows:

Loan Origination/Risk Management: The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management and the Company's Board of Directors with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentration of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and potential problem loans. The Company seeks to diversify the loan portfolio as a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Credit Quality Indicators/Classified Loans: In monitoring the credit quality of the portfolio, management applies a credit quality indicator and uses an internal risk rating system to categorize commercial loans. These credit quality indicators range from one through nine, with a higher number correlating to increasing risk of loss. These ratings are used as inputs to the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Consistent with regulatory guidelines, the Company provides for the classification of loans which are considered to be of lesser quality as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss (i.e. risk-rated 6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively).

The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass: Loans the Company considers in the commercial portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes there is a low risk of loss related to these loans considered pass-rated.

Special Mention: Loans the Company considers having some potential weaknesses, but are deemed to not carry levels of risk inherent in one of the subsequent categories, are designated as special mention. A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. This might include loans which may require a higher level of supervision or internal reporting because of: (i) declining industry trends; (ii) increasing reliance on secondary sources of repayment; (iii) the poor condition of or lack of control over collateral; or (iv) failure to obtain proper documentation or any other deviations from prudent lending practices. Economic or market conditions which may, in the future, affect the obligor may warrant special mention of the asset. Loans for which an adverse trend in the borrower's operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized may be included in this classification. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risks to warrant classification.

Substandard: Loans the Company considers as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans include those loans where there is the distinct possibility of some loss of principal, if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans the Company considers as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those loans that are classified as substandard. These loans have the added characteristic of a well-defined weakness which is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, and calls into question the collectability of the full balance of the loan. The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as loss is deferred

Table of Contents

until its more exact status is determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. The entire amount of the loan might not be classified as doubtful when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable. Loans are generally not classified doubtful for an extended period of time (i.e., over a year).

Loss: Loans the Company considers as losses are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted and the uncollectible amounts are charged-off. This classification does not mean the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible.

NOTE 9.           DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy involves modifying the re-pricing characteristics of certain assets or liabilities so the changes in interest rates do not have a significant effect on net interest income. Thus, all of the Company's derivative contracts are considered to be interest rate contracts.

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company designates whether the derivative is part of a hedging relationship (i.e., cash flow or fair value hedge). The Company formally documents relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are highly effective and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss.

The Company offers derivative products in the form of interest rate swaps, to commercial loan customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. These instruments are executed through Master Netting Arrangements ("MNA") with financial institution counterparties or Risk Participation Agreements ("RPA") with commercial bank counterparties, for which the Company assumes a pro rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower's performance related to the derivative contract with the counterparty.

Cash flow hedges

Interest rate cap agreements

In 2014, interest rate cap agreements were purchased to limit the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on four rolling, three-month borrowings indexed to three-month LIBOR. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company paid total premiums of $4.6 million for the right to receive cash flow payments if three-month LIBOR rises above the caps of 3.00%, thus effectively ensuring interest expense on the borrowings at maximum rates of 3.00% for the duration of the agreements. The interest rate cap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges; however, the caps were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the unamortized premium totaling $3.2 million was recognized in acquisition, restructuring and other expenses.

Interest rate swaps on wholesale funding

In March and November 2019 and April 2020, the Company entered into interest rate swaps on wholesale borrowings (the "SWAPS") to limit its exposure to rising interest rates over a five year term on 3-month FHLB borrowings or brokered certificates, or a combination thereof at each maturity date.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has two swaps each with a $50.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed interest rate of 2.46% and 1.53% respectively and one swap with a $25.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed rate of 0.58%. The financial institution counterparty pays the Company interest on the three-month LIBOR rate. The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge.

Fair value hedges

Interest rate swap on securities

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate callable securities available-for-sale. The hedging strategy on securities

53

Table of Contents

converts the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the call dates of the hedged securities. During 2019, the Company entered into eight swap transactions with a notional amount of $37.2 million designated as fair value hedges. These derivatives are intended to protect against the effects of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate securities.  The fixed rates on the transactions have a weighted average of 1.696%.

Economic hedges

Forward sale commitments

The Company utilizes forward sale commitments on residential mortgage loans to hedge interest rate risk and the associated effects on the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and loans originated for sale. The forward sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives. The Company typically uses a combination of best efforts and mandatory delivery contracts. The contracts are loan sale agreements where the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. Generally, the Company may enter into contracts just prior to the loan closing with a customer.

Customer loan derivatives

The Company enters into customer loan derivatives to facilitate the risk management strategies for commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting loan swap agreements with highly rated third-party financial institutions. The loan swap agreements are free standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institutional counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes.

The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all loan swap agreements, as well as collateral or cash funds, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral is provided by cash or securities received or posted by the counterparty with net liability positions, respectively, in accordance with contract thresholds. Currently, the Company has posted cash of $28.4 million with counterparties.

Non-hedging derivatives

Interest rate lock commitments

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs relate to the origination of residential mortgage loans that are held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs subsequent to inception are based on; (i) changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and (ii) changes in the probability when the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

Securities Available for Sale: All securities and major categories of securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing providers. The fair value measurements used by the pricing providers consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market maker quotes and live trading systems. If quoted prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as market pricing spreads, credit information, callable features, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, default rates, and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges. The valuation of the Company's cash flow hedges are obtained from a third party. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The inputs used to value the Company's cash flow hedges are all classified as Level 2 measurements.

56

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. The Company enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood of a loan in a lock position will ultimately close. The closing ratio is derived from the Company’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. As such, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. The Company utilizes forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the IRLCs and loans originated for sale. The fair values of the Company’s mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined similarly to the IRLCs using quoted prices in the market place that are observable. However, closing ratios included in the calculation are internally generated and are based on management’s judgment and prior experience, which are not considered observable factors. As such, mandatory delivery forward commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Customer Loan Derivatives. The valuation of the Company’s customer loan derivatives is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of master netting arrangements and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its customer loan derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2020, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Impaired loans. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments relating to real estate collateral have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value for other collateral supporting commercial loans are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3.

Capitalized loan servicing rights. A loan servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans exceed adequate compensation for performing the servicing. The fair value of loan servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”). OREO results from the foreclosure process on residential or commercial loans issued by the Company. Upon assuming the real estate, the Company records the property at the fair value of the asset less the estimated sales costs. Thereafter, OREO properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. OREO fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Premises held for sale. Assets held for sale, identified as part of the Company’s strategic review and branch optimization exercise, were transferred from premises and equipment at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. Assets held for sale fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Trust Management Fees

The trust management business generates revenue through a range of fiduciary services including trust and estate administration, wealth advisory, and investment management to individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities. Revenue from these services are generally recognized over time and is typically based on a time elapsed measure of service. Certain fees, such as bill paying fees, distribution fees, real estate sale fees, and supplemental tax service fees, are recorded as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Financial Services Fees

Bar Harbor Financial Services is a branch office of Infinex, an independent registered broker dealer offering securities and insurance products not affiliated with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has a revenue sharing agreement with Infinex for any financial service fee income generated. Financial services fees are recognized at a point in time upon the completion of service requirements.

Interchange Fees

The Company earns interchange fees from transaction fees that merchants pay whenever a customer uses a debit card to make a purchase from their store. The fees are paid to the card-issuing bank to cover handling costs, fraud, bad debt costs and the risk involved in approving the payment. Interchange fees are generally recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of a debit card transaction.

Customer Deposit Fees

The Customer Deposit business offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates, fee schedules and other terms, which are designed to meet the customer's financial needs. Additional depositor-related services provided to customers include ATM, bank-by-phone, internet banking, internet bill pay, mobile banking, and other cash management

Table of Contents

services which include remote deposit capture, ACH origination, and wire transfers. These customer deposit fees are generally recognized by the Company at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Other Customer Service Fees

The Company has certain incentive and referral fee arrangements with independent third parties in which fees are earned for new account activity, product sales, or transaction volume generated for the respective third parties. The Company also earns a percentage of the fees generated from third-party credit card plans promoted through the Bank. Revenue from these incentive and referral fee arrangements are recognized over time using the right to invoice measure of progress.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

The following table provides information about contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenues from contracts with customers:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. For most customer contracts, fees are deducted directly from customer accounts and, therefore, there is no associated impact on the accounts receivable balance. For certain types of service contracts, the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under the service contract and an accounts receivable balance is recorded for services completed. When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company currently expenses contract costs for processing and administrative fees for debit card transactions. The Company also expenses custody fees and transactional costs associated with securities transactions as well as third party tax preparation fees. The Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

NOTE 12.           LEASES

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” and all subsequent ASUs modifying ASC 842. Substantially all of the leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2040. All leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. With the adoption of ASC 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability using the modified retrospective approach.

The Company elected the following practical expedients in conjunction with implementation of ASC 842 as follows:

Package of practical expedients:
oLease classification as an operating lease under the prior standards is grandfathered.
oRe-evaluation of embedded leases evaluated under the prior standards is not required.
oNo re-assessment of previously recorded initial direct lease costs.
Election to exclude short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), from capitalization on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the consolidated statements of condition classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2020:

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used for the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. If there are multiple renewals typically only the next lease renewal is considered. Regarding the discount rate, ASC 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

The following table presents the weighted average lease term and discount rate of the Company’s leases:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item that management excludes when computing non-GAAP adjusted earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. The Company's non-GAAP adjusted earnings information set forth is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information that may be presented by other companies. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for adjusted revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts that the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.

The Company also calculates adjusted earnings per share based on its measure of adjusted earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The Company reported second quarter 2020 net income of $8.5 million or $0.55  per diluted share; up 41% over the same quarter of 2019 of $6.1 million or $0.39  per diluted share. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP measure) in the second quarter 2020 totaled $8.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share compared to $6.3 million or $0.41 per diluted share of the same quarter of 2019.

Financial highlights for the second quarter 2020 include the following, as compared to the second quarter of 2019 unless otherwise noted:

18% annualized growth in commercial loans, excluding paycheck protection program (PPP) loans
32% annualized growth in total non-maturity deposits, excluding balances from PPP loans
3.00% net interest margin compared to 2.65%
12% increase in non-interest income, excluding $1.4 million in security gains
0.54% non-accruing loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans, compared to 0.66%
0.90% return on assets, compared to 0.67%

Coming out of the uncertainty of the first quarter, teams across the Company communicated directly with customers to better understand the developing challenges and opportunities.  As a result, the Company took on the economic headwinds in stride while improving profitability during the second quarter 2020.  Return on assets improved five basis points during the second quarter to 0.90%, a trend that is expected to continue as strategies are executed throughout all aspects of business operations.  Commercial loans led the quarter with strong double digit growth even excluding the influx of PPP loans. This demonstrates an understanding of client needs while creating opportunities with targeted prospects.  Given the lower interest rate environment, the Company tailored its strategy towards leveraging the secondary market sales platform on its mortgage production.  Mortgage banking fee income grew, doubling compared to any prior quarter, in lieu of interest income as residential loans were allowed to contract on the balance sheet.  

The Company’s credit quality remains strong in the current economic cycle adhering to a strong credit culture.  The proven lending and credit teams, experienced with various cycles, have diligently managed underwriting practices during these uncertain times.  Risk ratings on loans remained steady with the first quarter 2020,  with lower past due accounts and net charge-offs near record lows.  The Company’s second quarter provision for loan losses increased slightly by $243 thousand, which included overall higher economic qualitative factors plus a specific reserve on one long-standing commercial relationship, offset by other credit quality improvements.  The Company has a history of settling non-performing loans for their carrying values or higher.                

PPP loan originations leveled off by mid-June for a total of approximately 1,900 loans with a total principal balance of $131.5 million and net unearned fees of $5.3 million.  Accretion of the net fees began in the second quarter and is expected to be accelerated by the end of the year depending on the timing of customer forgiveness and processing by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).  Throughout the second quarter, the Company modified close to 800 loans totaling about $400.0 million, which were mostly temporary principal deferrals with normal interest accruals.  At quarter end almost 20% of the modified loans resumed payments under normalized arrangements with the remaining population expected to migrate to regular payments in the second half of the year.  Accrued interest recorded under the modified plans currently totals $2.4 million, all of which is expected to be collected over the remaining lives of the loans.    

 

Non-maturity deposits were a significant source of funding during the second quarter 2020 and were up 32% on an annualized basis, excluding deposits from PPP loans, further reducing reliance on wholesale funding.  Excluding the Federal Reserve credit facility for PPP loans, senior borrowings were down 17%.  The Company continues to actively manage its balance sheet and support net interest margin by locking into lower cost wholesale funding through a mixture of longer durations and derivative instruments, and managing its cost of deposits in line with market expectations.  The Company is also further executing on deleveraging and/or remixing various asset classes, taking advantage of current market disruptions.  Additionally, the Company continues to have access to a significant amount of funding through diversified sources of liquidity.

Table of Contents

The Company’s capital position is strong and risk-weighted capital ratios are quickly approaching levels seen in the third quarter of 2019 prior to the branch acquisition.  The Company also began repurchasing its common stock accumulating 392 thousand shares or $7.3 million at the end of the second quarter.  Dividends were declared during the second quarter and are expected to be distributed in a similar manner in future quarters, which is viewed as an integral part of maximizing shareholder value.

The Company’s commitment to serving customers throughout its branch footprint continues and branch lobbies are fully open adhering to national and state safety standards.  Looking to the second half of the year, unknown volatility in economic conditions and financial markets could impact the financial performance of the Company. A consistent operating model, disciplined approach to underwriting and proven execution of delivering on strategy, has well positioned the Company to handle potential challenges as they emerge.  The Company remains committed to profitability and tangible book value growth while navigating expense management and positive operating leverage during these periods.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2020 AND DECEMBER 31, 2019

Total assets were $3.8 billion at the end of the second quarter 2020 compared to $3.7 billion at year-end 2019. Asset quality metrics remain strong with an allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio of 0.60% compared to 0.58% as of year-end 2019. The loan to deposit ratio was 101% in the second quarter compared to 98% at year-end 2019, slightly elevated given the increase in PPP loans despite strong growth in non-maturity deposits.  The Company's tangible book value per share increased 10%, on an annualized basis, in the first half of 2020 from year-end 2019.

Securities

Securities totaled $661.8 million in the second quarter 2020 and $683.9 million at year-end 2019 representing 18% and 19% of total assets, respectively.  The decrease in the first half of 2020 is consistent with the Company’s strategy to deleverage the balance sheet, reduce borrowing levels and remix the investment portfolio.  Securities purchased in the first six months of 2020 included $59.2 million of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by US Government-sponsored enterprises, $31.2 million of tax exempt municipal bonds, and $30.0 million of corporate bonds, in addition to a net $414 thousand decrease in FHLB stock. The purchases were offset by $152.5 million of sales, maturities, calls and pay-downs of amortizing securities.  Fair value adjustments increased the security portfolio by $16.3 million at the end of the second quarter 2020 and $7.3 million at year-end 2019.  The improvement in fair value continues to be the result of lower long-term interest rates.  The weighted average yield on the Company's securities portfolio as of June 30, 2020 was 3.10% compared to 3.42% at year-end 2019.  At the end of the second quarter 2020, securities held by the Company had an average life of 4.2 years and a duration of 2.9 years compared to 5.0 years and 3.6 years at the end of 2019, respectively.

Loans

Loan balances in the second quarter 2020 increased $88.3 million compared to year-end 2019, primarily due to a net $127.0 million in PPP originations included in the commercial and industrial category, offset by the Company’s strategy to shrink the residential loans portfolio.  Commercial real estate increased $51.4 million during the first half of 2020 at an annualized rate of 11%.  Commercial and industrial loans excluding PPP loans of $127.0 million increased $26.5 million during the first six months or 17% on an annualized basis.  Residential real estate loan production was strong led by refinancing activity given the lower interest rate environment.  The majority of residential production was sold in the secondary market to generate fee income.  

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses totaled $16.5 million at the end of the second quarter 2020 and $15.4 million at year-end 2019.  The $1.2 million increase reflects net charge offs totaling $1.3 million and a provision for loan losses of $2.5 million.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio for the second quarter expanded to 0.60% from 0.58% at year-end 2019.  Excluding PPP loan balances, which are backed by the SBA, the ratio increased to 0.63%.  Past due and delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.83% from 1.19% at the end of 2019. Commercial non-accrual loans in the first six months increased $446 thousand primarily due to one commercial loan relationship that was written down by $349 thousand to its net realizable value.  There were some residential loans that continued to hover around 90 days past due over the past few quarters and were conservatively placed on non-accrual status.

In March 2020, the Company elected to defer implementation of CECL as allowed under the CARES Act.  As result, the Company continues to operate its incurred loss model.  While the impact of COVID-19 and other market conditions remain uncertain, the Company believes the existing allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb inherent losses based on a disciplined credit approach, experienced losses and methodology, and current and ongoing stress testing reviews of the portfolio.  

Additionally, the Company performed a stress test of its commercial portfolio in the second quarter 2020 analyzing potentially vulnerable North American Industry Classification System codes, in addition to normal migration analysis.  The following segments of the commercial loan portfolio were identified for stress testing: hospitality loans with a loan-to-value in excess of 65%, all loans contained in the Company’s top 50 relationships, and all loans $1.0 million or greater with risk ratings of special mention or higher.  The results of the stress testing did not indicate any meaningful deterioration in the overall quality of the commercial portfolio and any impact was considered in the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2020.

Goodwill

Given current events and the economic conditions associated with COVID-19 along with the variation of the Company’s stock price, the fair value of the Company’s business and test for goodwill impairment is required under accounting standards.  The Company’s models suggest that the fair value of the business is greater than the book value or market capitalization based on the price at which the stock is currently trading.  While the Company concluded there is no goodwill impairment in the second quarter 2020, it will continue to evaluate its position as economic conditions change.  

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits were $2.7 billion at the end of the second quarter 2020 and year-end 2019.  Non-maturity deposits increased by 32% in the second quarter 2020, on an annualized basis, excluding PPP loan related balances. During the first half of 2020, non-maturity deposits increased $187.6 million, further reducing reliance on wholesale funding.  The Company's expanding branch model has helped to increase new accounts, which totaled 3,427 in the second quarter 2020 compared to 2,918 in the fourth quarter 2019.  Time deposits decreased $254.5 million, as part of a strategy to target lower rate and longer duration funding sources.  Total borrowings increased by $75.4 million as the Company utilized the Federal Reserve credit facility to fund PPP loans.  Senior borrowings were down $55.8 million or 12% when excluding the PPP credit facility as a result of locking into lower cost wholesale funding through a mixture of longer durations and derivative instruments.  

Derivative Financial Instruments

The notional balance of derivative financial instruments increased to $750.9 million at the end of the second quarter 2020 from $580.4 million at year-end 2019.  The increase is principally due to a $25.0 million additional cash flow hedge on wholesale funding, a $115.0 million increase in customer loan derivatives sold on commercial loans with matching hedges using national bank counterparties and a $32.7 million increase in forward commitments to sell mortgages in the secondary market.  The net fair value of all derivatives was a liability of $3.7 million at the end of the second quarter 2020 compared to $743 thousand at year-end 2019. The increase in the net derivative liability primarily reflects the valuation of the Company’s interest rate swaps on wholesale funding and securities based on lower market rates at the end of the second quarter 2020.

Equity

Total equity was $404.1 million, compared with $396.4 million at year-end 2019. The Company's book value per share increased to $26.56 at the end of the second quarter 2020 from $25.48 at year-end 2019.  The increase includes a $5.9 million improvement in fair value of securities, net of tax, along with strong net income of $16.2 million offset by $6.8 million in dividends and common stock repurchases of $7.3 million.  The Company evaluates changes in tangible book value, a non-GAAP financial measure that is a commonly used valuation metric in the investment community, which parallels some regulatory capital measures. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP measure) increased to $18.18 per share at June 30, 2020 up from $17.30 per share at year-end 2019, an increase of 10% on an annualized basis.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

Summary

Net income in the second quarter 2020 was $8.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $6.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the same quarter 2019.  The non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings in the second quarter 2020 totaled $8.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million or $0.41 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2019.  Noteworthy improvements in net income include a lower cost of funds and increased non-interest income offset in part by higher operational expenses.  The Company's return on assets ratio was 0.90% during the second quarter of 2020 and 0.67% in the same quarter of 2019 and the return on equity ratio was 8.40% and 6.33% for the same respective periods.

The Company reported first half 2020 net income of $16.2 million or $1.04 per diluted share, compared with $13.4 million or $0.86 per diluted share in the same period of 2019.  Adjusted earnings increased to $16.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share compared with $13.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the respective periods. These changes largely reflect the same factors and trends discussed above that drove second quarter net income. The return on assets ratio during the first half of 2020 was 0.86% compared to 0.74% in the prior year due to higher net income and a higher average asset base.  Return on equity in the first half 2020 increased to 8.02% from 7.07% in the prior year due to higher net income and growth in the average equity balance.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $24.6 million in the second quarter 2020 compared with $21.5 million in the same quarter of 2019 and net interest margin was 3.00% from 2.65% for the same respective periods.  The increase is primarily driven by lower borrowing levels as the average balance decreased to $612.5 million in the second quarter 2020 from $779.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 due to continued deleveraging strategies.  These balance sheet strategies along with federal funds rate cuts that began in the second half of 2019 improved borrowing costs to 1.51% in the second quarter 2020 from 2.74% in same quarter of 2019.  Costs of interest-bearing deposits also decreased to 0.81% compared to 1.32% in the second quarter 2019 due to the federal fund rate cuts and lower brokered deposits associated with deleveraging activities.  Yields from earning assets were 3.81% compared to 4.13% in the second quarter 2019 reflecting loan originations and repricing of variable rate products in a lower interest rate environment.  Purchased loan accretion contributed 0.12% to net interest margin in the second quarter 2020 compared to 0.09% in the second quarter 2019.  Excluding the effects of PPP loans, the second quarter yield on total earning assets was 3.89%.  PPP loans are expected to increase interest income with accelerated accretion during the second half of 2020 as loans are expected to be forgiven by the SBA.  

For the first six months of the year, net interest income was $46.7 million compared with $42.4 million in the same months of 2019 and net interest margin was 3.02% from 2.71% for the same respective periods.  The increase is primarily driven by lower borrowing levels and higher amount of non-maturity deposits.  The average borrowing levels decreased to $579.8 million in the first half 2020 from $776.6 million in the same period of 2019 and borrowing costs was 1.81% from 2.74% for the same respective periods.  Costs of interest-bearing deposits also decreased in the first six months of 2020 to 0.94% compared to 1.29% in the same months of 2019.  Yields from earning assets were 3.97% in the first half of 2020 compared to 4.16% in the first half of 2019. The year-to-date effect on net interest margin from earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is the same as the quarterly discussion.

Loan Loss Provision

The second quarter 2020 provision for loan losses increased to $1.4 million from $562 thousand in the same quarter 2019.  As previously noted, the Company has maintained its incurred loss model for calculating the allowance for loan losses.  The year-over-year increase in the provision for loan losses is due to qualitative adjustments made in the general reserve to reflect a downward economic trend that started in the first quarter 2020 offset in part by improvements in other credit quality factors such as charge-off history and underwriting practices.  Also included in the second quarter 2020 provision is a new $349 thousand specific reserve related to one commercial real estate relationship that is expected to be settled at its carrying value.  

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income in the second quarter 2020 was $9.7 million compared to $7.5 million in the same quarter in 2019.  The increase is primarily due to a $704 thousand increase in mortgage banking income associated with secondary market

sales and a $1.4 million gain on sales of securities.  Trust and investment management fee income contributed with a 3% year-over-year increase based on assets under management reaching $2.0 billion compared to $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2019.  Customer service fees were $2.4 million for the second quarter 2020 compared to $2.6 million in the same quarter of 2019 due to fewer customer transactions in the current economic environment associated with COVID-19.

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2020 was $18.1 million compared to $13.6 million in the same period in 2019.  The increase in non-interest income for the six-month period is driven by the same reasons as the quarterly period with mortgage banking increasing $939 thousand, a $1.5 million gain on sales of securities, and trust and investment management fee income increasing $705 thousand.  However, customer services fees increased to $5.6 million for the first half of 2020 compared to $4.8 million from the same quarter of 2019 due to an overall increase in customer activity following the branch acquisition in October 2019.  

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $22.3 million in the second quarter 2020 compared to $20.9 million in the same quarter of 2019.  The increase is primarily due to a $1.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter 2020 representing a prepayment penalty on a longer term and higher cost FHLB borrowing.  Salary and benefit expense and occupancy and equipment costs were also higher during the second quarter 2020 to support the Company’s expanded branch model and wealth management business.

For the first six months of 2020, non-interest expense increased to $44.6 million in first half of 2019 from $39.5 million in the same period of 2019.  The increase in non-interest expense for the six-month period is driven by the same reasons as the quarterly period.

Income Tax Expense

The second quarter effective tax rate increased to 20.6% in 2020 compared with 18.2% in the same quarter of 2019, reflecting the higher level of taxable income.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Liquidity is measured by the Company's ability to meet short-term cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimal loss. The Company seeks to obtain favorable sources of liabilities and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. Besides serving as a funding source for maturing obligations, liquidity provides flexibility in responding to customer-initiated needs. Many factors affect the Company's ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served by its network of offices, its mix of assets and liabilities, reputation and credit standing in the marketplace, and general economic conditions.

The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through target ratios established under its Asset-Liability Management Policy. Continual monitoring of these ratios, by using historical data and through forecasts under multiple rate and stress scenarios, allows the Bank to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. The Bank's policy is to maintain a liquidity position of at least 4% of total assets. A portion of the Bank's deposit base has been historically seasonal in nature, with balances typically declining in the winter months through late spring, during which period the Bank's liquidity position tightens.

The Company’s liquidity position remains strong. During the quarter we initiated pandemic-specific liquidity stress tests to analyze potential impacts from payment deferrals, unanticipated use of committed lines of credit, as well as the possibility of required servicer advances on sold loans.  At June 30, 2020, available same-day liquidity totaled approximately $1.3 billion, including cash, borrowing capacity at FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window and various lines of credit. Additional sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, wholesale deposits, cash flow from the Company's amortizing securities and loan portfolios.  The Company had unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $559.2 million, unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve of $82.4 million and unused lines of credit totaling $51.0 million, in addition to over $200.0 million in unencumbered, liquid investment portfolio assets.  The Company has also utilized the Federal Reserve's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility to provide liquidity to fund PPP loans.

Table of Contents

The Bank maintains a liquidity contingency plan approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. This plan addresses the steps that would be taken in the event of a liquidity crisis, and identifies other sources of liquidity available to the Company. Company management believes the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements. However, changes in economic conditions, including consumer savings habits and availability or access to the brokered deposit market could potentially have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is, from time to time, a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that may be material to investors.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit whereby the Bank guarantees the obligations or performance of certain customers. These letters of credit are sometimes issued in support of third-party debt. The risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and they are subject to the same origination, portfolio maintenance and management procedures in effect to monitor other credit products. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon issuance of a standby letter of credit, is based upon management's credit evaluation of the customer.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements have not changed materially since previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and in the most recent Form 10-K. Please see those policies in conjunction with this discussion. The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has identified the Company's most critical accounting policies as related to:

Allowance for Loan Losses
Acquired Loans
Income Taxes
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Determination of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company. Other types of market risk do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.

The responsibility for interest rate risk management oversight is the function of the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”), chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and composed of various members of senior management. ALCO meets regularly to review balance sheet structure, formulate strategies in light of current and expected economic conditions, adjust product prices as necessary, implement policy, monitor liquidity, and review performance against guidelines established to control exposure to the various types of inherent risk.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk can be defined as an exposure to movement in interest rates that could have an adverse impact on the Bank's net interest income. Interest rate risk arises from the imbalance in the re-pricing, maturity and or cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities. Management's objectives are to measure, monitor and develop strategies in response to the interest rate risk profile inherent in the Bank's balance sheet. The objectives in managing the Bank's balance sheet are to preserve the sensitivity of net interest income to actual or potential changes in interest rates, and to enhance profitability through strategies that promote sufficient reward for understood and controlled risk.

The Bank's interest rate risk measurement and management techniques incorporate the re-pricing and cash flow attributes of balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments as each relate to current and potential changes in interest rates. The level of interest rate risk, measured in terms of the potential future effect on net interest income, is determined through the use of modeling and other techniques under multiple interest rate scenarios. Interest rate risk is evaluated in depth on a quarterly basis and reviewed by ALCO and the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Bank's Asset Liability Management Policy, approved annually by the Bank’s Board of Directors, establishes interest rate risk limits in terms of variability of net interest income under rising, flat, and decreasing rate scenarios. It is the role of the ALCO to evaluate the overall risk profile and to determine actions to maintain and achieve a posture consistent with policy guidelines.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Modeling: The Bank utilizes an interest rate risk model widely recognized in the financial industry to monitor and measure interest rate risk. The model simulates the behavior of interest income and expense for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments, under different interest rate scenarios together with a dynamic future balance sheet. Interest rate risk is measured in terms of potential changes in net interest income based upon shifts in the yield curve.

The interest rate risk sensitivity model requires that assets and liabilities be broken down into components as to fixed, variable, and adjustable interest rates, as well as other homogeneous groupings, which are segregated as to maturity and type of instrument. The model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to evolve through time and in different interest rate environments. The model uses contractual re-pricing dates for variable products, contractual maturities for fixed rate products, and product-specific assumptions for deposit accounts, such as money market accounts, that are subject to re-pricing based on current market conditions. Re-pricing margins are also determined for adjustable rate assets and incorporated in the model. Investment securities and borrowings with call provisions are examined on an individual basis in each rate environment to estimate the likelihood of a call. Prepayment assumptions for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds, based upon similar coupon ranges and degree of seasoning. Cash flows and maturities are then determined, and for certain assets, prepayment assumptions are estimated under different interest rate scenarios. Interest income and interest expense are then simulated under several hypothetical interest rate conditions including:

A flat interest rate scenario in which current prevailing rates are locked in and the only balance sheet fluctuations that occur are due to cash flows, maturities, new volumes, and re-pricing volumes consistent with this flat rate assumption;

80

Table of Contents

A 200 basis point rise or decline in interest rates (or as appropriate given the absolute level of market rates) applied against a parallel shift in the yield curve over a twelve-month horizon together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes;

Various non-parallel shifts in the yield curve, including changes in either short-term or long-term rates over a twelve-month horizon, together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes; and

An extension of the foregoing simulations to each of two, three, four and five year horizons to determine the interest rate risk with the level of interest rates stabilizing in years two through five. Even though rates remain stable during this two to five year time period, re-pricing opportunities driven by maturities, cash flow, and adjustable rate products will continue to change the balance sheet profile for each of the interest rate conditions.

Changes in net interest income based upon the foregoing simulations are measured against the flat interest rate scenario and actions are taken to maintain the balance sheet interest rate risk within established policy guidelines.

As of June 30, 2020 interest rate sensitivity modeling results indicate that the Bank’s balance sheet in years 1 and 2 were modestly asset sensitive.

Assuming short-term and long-term interest rates decline 100 basis points from current levels (i.e., a parallel yield curve shift) and the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels, management believes net interest income will deteriorate over the one year horizon (-0.2% versus the base case) while deteriorating further from that level over the two-year horizon (-8.9% versus the base case).

Assuming the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels and the Federal Reserve increases short-term interest rates by 200 basis points with the balance of the yield curve shifting in parallel with these increases, management believes net interest income will improve slightly over the one and two-year horizons (1.2% and 3.4%, respectively).

As compared to December 31, 2019, the year-one sensitivity in the down 100 basis points scenario was up slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (-1.0% prior, versus -0.2% current). The year-two sensitivities in the down 100 basis points scenario changed going from -3.7% to -8.9%. In the year-one up 200 basis points scenario, results improved going from 0.7% to 1.2%. Year-two, up 200 basis points was flat (3.3% prior, versus 3.4% current).

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels and yield curve shape, prepayment speeds on loans and securities, deposit rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and renegotiated loan terms with borrowers. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results may also differ due to: prepayment and refinancing levels deviating from those assumed; the impact of interest rate changes, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets; the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans; depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes; and other such variables. The sensitivity analysis also does not reflect additional actions that the Bank’s Senior Executive Team and Board of Directors might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates, and the anticipated impact on the Bank’s net interest income.

ITEM 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that as of June 30, 2020 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.           OTHER INFORMATION
