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 (“we”, “our” or “us”) 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 our accounts, the accounts of our 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 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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 consolidated income statement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards updates (ASU) that could have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption:

Effect on financial statements

Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

The amendments in this update eliminate TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an exisiting loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

January 1, 2023

We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality Information

We monitor the credit quality of available for sale debt securities through credit ratings from various rating agencies and substantial price changes. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are utilized us to make informed decisions.  Securities are triggered for further review in the quarter if the security has significant fluctuations in ratings, drops below investment grade, or significant pricing changes. For securities without credit ratings, we utilize other financial information indicating the financial health of the underlying municipality, agency, or organization associated with the underlying security.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we carried no allowance on available for sale debt securities in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available for sale securities segregated by contractual maturity at June 30, 2022 are presented below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

We expect to recover the amortized cost basis on all securities in our AFS portfolio. Furthermore, we do not intend to sell nor do we anticipate that we will be required to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2022, prior to this recovery. Our ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by our strong capital and liquidity positions as well as historically low portfolio turnover.

The following summarizes, by investment security type, the impact of securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months at June 30, 2022:

US Government-sponsored enterprises

361 out of the total 526 securities in our portfolios of AFS US Government-sponsored enterprises were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 8.83% 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 our US Government-sponsored enterprises. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter.

US Government agency

109 out of the total 160 securities in our portfolios of AFS US Government agency securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 7.65% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Government National Mortgage Association guarantees the contractual cash flows of all of our US Government agency securities. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter.

Private label

31 of the total 35 securities in our portfolio of AFS private label mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 5.63% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. We expect to receive all of the future contractual cash flows related to the amortized cost on these securities.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof

51 of the total 84 securities in our portfolio of AFS municipal bonds and obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 15.19% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. We continually monitors the municipal bond sector of the market carefully and periodically evaluates the appropriate level of exposure to the market. At this time, we feel the bonds in this portfolio carry minimal risk of default and we are appropriately compensated for the risk. There were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter.

Corporate bonds

18 out of the total 28 securities in our portfolio of AFS corporate bonds were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate unrealized loss represents 6.17% of the amortized cost of bonds in unrealized loss positions. We review 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.

We exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued interest receivable for loans totaled $9.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and is included in the “other assets” line item on the consolidated balance sheets.

The CARES Act and subsequent legislation established the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), administered directly by the Small Business Administration (SBA).  As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had 5 and 61 PPP loans outstanding, with an outstanding principal balance of $170 thousand and $6.7 million, respectively.  PPP loans are included in the commercial and industrial portfolio segment.

Characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial construction - Loans in this segment primarily include raw land, land development and construction of commercial and multifamily residential properties.  Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations of the completed structure in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines that are more restrictive than on stabilized commercial real estate transactions.  Construction loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the completed structure, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Commercial real estate owner occupied and non-owner occupied - Loans in these segments are primarily owner-occupied or income-producing properties.  Loans to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and unsecured loans to developers that closely correlate to the inherent risk in commercial real estate markets are also included.  Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.  Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

14

Table of Contents

Tax Exempt - Loans in this segment primarily include loans to various state and municipal government entities. Loans made in these borrowers may provide us with tax-exempt income. While governed and underwritten similar to commercial loans they do have unique requirements based on established polices. Almost all state and municipal loans are considered a general obligation of the issuing entity. Given the size of many municipal borrowers, borrowings are normally not rated by major rating agencies.

Commercial and industrial loans - Loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment in this segment.  Generally loans are secured by assets of the business such as accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, other liquid collateral, equipment and other business assets.  Some loans in this category may be unsecured or guaranteed by government agencies such as the SBA.  Loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower.

Residential real estate - All loans in this segment are collateralized by one-to-four family homes.  Residential real estate loans held in the loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to various underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Home equity - All loans and lines of credit are made to qualified individuals and are secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer other - Loans in this segment include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as auto loans, recreational equipment, overdraft protection or other consumer loans. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines, as applicable.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments which is accounted for as a separate liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The level of the ACL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged off.  The ACL is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, generally larger non-accruing commercial loans and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs).

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

Credit Quality Indicators:  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.  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 our credit quality indicators:

Pass: Loans we consider 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 considered 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 us to sufficient risks to warrant classification.

Substandard: Loans we consider 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 we consider 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 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 we consider 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.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where we have determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and we expect repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by loan portfolio segment for the periods ended.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Loans

The 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 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. There were no modifications qualifying as TDR’s for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Foreclosure

Residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate that are in the process of foreclosure as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $179 thousand and $574 thousand, respectively.

Mortgage Banking

Loans held for sale had at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 had an unpaid principal balance of $3.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively.  The interest rate exposure on loans held for sale are mitigated through forward delivery commitments with certain approved secondary market investors. Forward delivery commitments had a notional amount of $7.0 million, and $16.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of forward delivery commitments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we sold $11.1 million and $56.1 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in a net gain on sale of loans (net of costs, including direct and indirect origination costs) of $150 thousand and $1.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we sold $31.9 million and $125.4 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in a net gain on sale of loans (net of costs, including direct and indirect origination costs) of $333 thousand and $2.9 million, respectively.

We sell residential loans on the secondary market while primarily retaining the servicing of these loans.  Servicing sold loans helps to maintain customer relationships and earn fees over the servicing period. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The risks inherent in servicing assets relate primarily to level of prepayments that result from shifts in interest rates.  We obtain third party valuations of our servicing assets portfolio quarterly, and the assumptions are reflected in Fair Value disclosures.

Short-term debt includes Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) advances with a remaining maturity of less than one year. We also maintain a $1.0 million secured line of credit with the FHLB that bears a daily adjustable rate calculated by the FHLB. There was no outstanding balance on the FHLB line of credit for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We have the capacity to borrow funds on a secured basis utilizing the Borrower in Custody program and the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (the “FRB”). At June 30, 2022, our available secured line of credit at the FRB was $82.7 million. We have pledged certain loans and securities to the FRB to support this arrangement. There were no borrowings with the FRB for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We maintain, with a correspondent bank, an unused unsecured federal funds line of credit that has an aggregate overnight borrowing capacity of $50.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Long-term FHLB advances consist of advances with a remaining maturity of more than one year. The advances outstanding at June 30, 2022 include no callable advances and amortizing advances of $291 thousand. The advances outstanding at December 31, 2021 included $20.0 million of callable advances and $298 thousand of amortizing advances. All FHLB borrowings, including the line of credit, are secured by a blanket security agreement on certain qualified collateral, principally all residential first mortgage loans and certain securities.

A summary of maturities of FHLB advances as of June 30, 2022 is, as follows:

We have a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with an aggregate of $40.0 million of subordinated notes (the "Notes") to accredited investors on November 26, 2019. The Notes have a maturity date of December 1, 2029 and bear a fixed interest rate of 4.63% through December 1, 2024 payable semi-annually in arrears. From December 1, 2024 and thereafter the interest rate shall be reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month Secured

Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.27%. We have the option beginning with the interest payment date of December 1, 2024, and on any scheduled payment date thereafter, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part upon prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The transaction included debt issuance costs of $415 thousand as of June 30, 2022 and $496 thousand net of amortization as of December 31, 2021, that are netted against the subordinated debt.

We also have $20.6 million in floating Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Debentures”) issued by NHTB Capital Trust II (“Trust II”) and NHTB Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), which are both Connecticut statutory trusts. The Debentures were issued on March 30, 2004, carry a variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.79%, and mature in 2034. The debt is callable by us at the time when any interest payment is made. Trust II and Trust III are considered variable interest entities for which we are not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated into our financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements

We can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at our discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, we will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or substantially identical security on a specified later date, at a greater price than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the proceeds, which is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security for the repurchase obligations. Since the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions do not meet the criteria to be classified as sales, and are therefore considered secured borrowing transactions for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement we are subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, we either deal with established firms when entering into these transactions or with customers whose agreements stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by our safekeeping agents.

At each date shown, the Company and the Bank met the conditions to be classified as “well-capitalized” under the relevant regulatory framework. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table above.

The Company and the Bank are subject to the Basel III rule that requires the Company and the Bank to assess their Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and the Company and the Bank each exceed the minimum to be "well-capitalized." Effective January 1, 2019 all banking organizations must maintain a minimum Common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% and a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%.

NOTE 8.           DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We use derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. Our 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 our derivative contracts are considered to be interest rate contracts.

We recognize our derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, we designate whether the derivative is part of a hedging relationship (i.e., cash flow or fair value hedge). We formally document relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We 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.

We offer 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 we assumes a pro rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower's performance related to the derivative contract with the counterparty.

Interest rate swaps on wholesale funding

As of June 30, 2022 we have two interest rate swaps on wholesale borrowings (the "SWAPS") to limit our 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.  The first of the two agreements were entered in November 2019 with a $50.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed interest rate of 1.53%.  A second agreement was entered on April 2020 with a $25.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed rate of 0.59%. The financial institution counterparty pays us interest on the three-month LIBOR rate. We designated the swaps as cash flow hedges.

Interest rate swap on variable rate loans

We have an interest rate swap that effectively fixes our interest rate on $50 million of 1 month USD-LIBOR-BBA (or LIBOR less two days) based loan assets at 0.806% plus the credit spread on the loans that reprices on weighted average basis. The instrument is specifically designed to hedge the risk of changes in its cash flows from interest receipts attributable to changes in a contractually specified interest rate, on an amount of our variable rate loan assets equal to $50 million. We designated the swap as a cash flow hedge.

Table of Contents

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. We utilize 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 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, we 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

We utilize 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. We typically use a combination of best efforts and mandatory delivery contracts. The contracts are loan sale agreements where we commit to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. Generally, we enter into contracts just prior to the loan closing with a customer.

Customer loan derivatives

We enter into customer loan derivatives to facilitate the risk management strategies for commercial banking customers. We mitigate 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 our consolidated balance sheet. We are party to master netting arrangements with our financial institutional counterparties; however, we do 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.

Non-hedging derivatives

Interest rate lock commitments

We enter into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) for residential mortgage loans, which commit us 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 us 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 our 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, we obtain 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.

Loans Held for Sale: The valuation of the Company’s loans held for sale are determined on an individual basis using quoted secondary market prices and are classified as Level 2 measurements.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Cash Flow Hedges. The valuation of our 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 cash flow hedges are all classified as Level 2 measurements.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. We enter into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit us to lend funds to  potential borrowers 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 internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. As such, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. We utilize forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the IRLCs and loans originated for sale. The fair values of 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 our 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. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of the derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of master netting arrangements and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value customer loan derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2022, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined that the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Individually evaluated loans. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, we record 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 or OREO. OREO results from the foreclosure process on residential or commercial loans issued by the Company. Upon assuming the real estate, we record 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 our 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.

NOTE 10.           REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

We account for our various non-interest revenue streams and related contracts under ASC 606. Revenue from contracts with customers is based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligation, which is generally when services are rendered and can be either satisfied at a point in time or over time. We recognize revenue at a point in time that is transactional in nature. We recognize revenue over time that is earned as services are performed and performance obligations are satisfied over time.

A substantial portion of our revenue is specifically excluded from the scope of Topic 606. This exclusion is associated with financial instruments, including interst income on loans and investment securities, in addition to loan derivative income and gains on loan and investment sales.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Trust Management Fees

The trust management business generates revenue through a range of fiduciary services including trust and estate administration, financial advice, and investment management to individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities. These fees are primarily earned over time as we charge our customers on a monthly or quarterly basis in accordance with investment advisory agreements.  Fees are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management at month end.  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. We have 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

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

Other Customer Service Fees

We have 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. We also earn 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.

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, we have 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

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

NOTE 11.           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. Most of our leases are for branches, ATM locations, and office space and have terms extending through 2040. All leases are classified as operating leases, and are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as a right- of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability.

The following table presents the consolidated statements of condition classification of the ROU assets and lease liabilities:

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 lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at our discretion. If at lease inception, we consider the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, we will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.

The following table presents the weighted average lease term and discount rate of the 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, or 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 our 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 our results for any particular quarter or year. Our 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 us in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP financial information.

We use the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for adjusted revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts that we view as unrelated to 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.

We also calculate adjusted earnings per share based on our measure of adjusted earnings. We view these amounts as important to understanding operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating our performance. We believe that the computation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of us to other companies in the financial services industry. We also adjust certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Earnings (second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021)

Net income was $10.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 16%, which increased return on assets to 1.14% from 0.97%.  Return on equity was 10.58% compared to 8.77%, which includes the benefit of higher net income and lower average equity related to unrealized losses on securities as noted below under the Financial Position section.  

Diluted earnings per share was $0.70, an increase of $0.10 or 17%. Earnings per share in the second quarter of 2021 included a $0.05 benefit from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fee accretion, which was offset by $0.03 of non-recurring expenses.

Net interest income was $26.5 million, an increase of 17%.  Net interest margin was 3.19% in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 45 basis points from the same period in 2021. The increase in the net interest margin from prior year is largely due to a higher interest rate environment, and continued strong loan growth and lower wholesale borrowings.

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $534 thousand principally due to loan growth compared to a net benefit of $765 thousand on improved economic conditions and a reduction in loan balances.

Non-interest income was $9.0 million, a decrease of 6% from lower mortgage banking income offset in part by higher customer service fees.  Wealth management income was flat with prior year.  

Non-interest expense was $21.7 million in both periods, which improved the efficiency ratio to 59.25% from 63.45% on higher total revenue.

Financial Position (As of June 30, 2022, compared to March 31, 2022)

Total assets increased $23.7 million to $3.7 billion mainly due to loan growth supported by solid growth in non-maturity deposits (core deposits).

Cash and cash equivalents were $67.1 million, compared to $111.0 million.  The decrease reflects our continued use of excess cash to fund loan growth in 2022.

Securities were $592.7 million, or 16% of total assets, compared to $611.3 million, or 17% of total assets. Net unrealized losses were $49.7 million, or 8% of gross securities, compared with $26.3 million, or 4% of gross securities as fixed rate securities continued to price reflecting higher interest rates.  

Total loans grew 11% on annualized basis during the quarter as balances increased across all product offerings, especially commercial loans, which grew at a 13% annualized rate.  Residential loans continued increase during the quarter at a 4% annualized rate as we continue to put more production on the balance sheet given the current profitable market rates.  

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.87% in both periods.  We believe that our disciplined approach and underwriting expertise has allowed us to maintain superior credit quality.  We continue to have very low charge-offs offset and a positive cycle of recoveries, along with improvement in almost every credit measurement.

Total deposits grew 4% on annualized basis during the quarter as core deposits expanded at an annualized rate of 9% on an increasing number of customer accounts.

Total book value per share was $26.19 compared to $27.11.  Net unrealized security losses reduced book value per share by $2.55 compared to $1.35.  Tangible book value per share excluding net unrealized security losses (non-GAAP) increased 6% on annualized basis on strong net income offset by dividends to shareholders.

In June 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan for up to 5% of outstanding shares of common stock, which represents approximately 751,000 shares.  No repurchases were made in the second quarter 2022, but we will continue examine buying opportunities considering market conditions, including interest rate volatility and potential loan and risk-weighted asset growth.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2022 AND DECEMBER 31, 2021

Securities

Total securities decreased to $592.7 million from $625.6 million at year-end.  The $32.9 million decrease in total securities included $77.4 million of purchases, $11.8 million in sales, an $8.2 million cost reduction to municipal securities that are hedged, and $37.4 million of maturities, calls and pay-downs of amortizing securities.  Fair value adjustments reduced the security portfolio by $49.7 million at the end of the June 2022 compared to an increase of $2.6 million at year-end 2021.  Net unrealized losses in the first six months of 2022 resulted from the Federal Reserve increasing the federal funds target interest rate 150 basis points in that period.  The weighted average yield of our securities portfolio was 3.21% at quarter-end and 2.63% at year-end.  Securities held at quarter-end had an average life of 9.0 years and an effective duration of 5.1 years compared to 5.3 years and 4.2 years at year-end 2021, respectively. 

Loans

Total loans increased $195.4 million from year-end 2021, or 15% annualized, to $2.7 billion at June 30, 2022, which included strong growth across all product lines and included 130 new lending relatinships.  Commercial loans increased $135.0 million primarily due to new loans with existing customers.  PPP loan balances totaled $170 thousand at the end of the quarter, compared to $6.7 million at year-end.  Total residential loans increased $55.6 million from the end of the fourth quarter 2021, as we placed more originations on the balance sheet instead of selling into the secondary market.  Residential loan origination volume in 2022 is significantly down as compared to respective periods 2021 on lower refinancing activity and increasing market rates.  

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses was $23.8 million at quarter-end as compared to $22.7 million at year-end.  A steadying economic forecast and disciplined approach to credit quality resulted in an allowance to total loans coverage ratio of 0.87% compared to 0.90% at year-end.  Net recoveries on previously charged-off loans for the first half of 2022 totaled $127  thousand compared to net charge-offs of $241 thousand for the same period of 2021.  Non-accruing loans decreased to $7.9 million from $10.2 million at year-end with improvement across all loan categories.  The progress in non-accrual loans is a quarterly trend seen since the end of year 2020.  The ratio of accruing past due loans to total loans improved to 0.12% of total loans at quarter-end from 0.32% at year-end 2021.

Other Assets

Other assets were $348.9 million compared to $318.5 million at year-end 2021. The increase reflects $12.0 million of deferred tax assets recorded in connection with unrealized losses on securities, $6.8 million of investments made in tax credits and community developments, and a $6.9 million increase in the fair value of derivative instruments.  

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits increased $30.0 million from year-end 2021 to $3.1 billion. Core deposits grew $93.6 million, or 7% on an year-to-date annualized basis during the first six months of 2022.  A total of 1,350 net new deposit accounts were opened in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2,100 accounts in same period of 2021.  The loan to deposit ratio was 87% compared to 83% at the end of 2021 due to loan growth.  Time deposits decreased $63.6 million in first half of 2022 primarily due to $22.0 million of wholesale deposits that matured. The remaining decrease is attributable to customers continuing to move funds to transactional accounts upon contractual maturity.  Borrowings were flat due to a consistent deposit level and use of excess cash to fund loan growth.  Wholesale borrowings as a percentage of total debt remained at 6% through the second quarter from year end 2021.  Total cost of deposits was 0.20% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 0.24% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and borrowing costs were 2.41% compared to 2.17% for the same periods.  The change in cost of funds reflects the repricing of rolling short-term FHLB borrowings to market rates.  FHLB borrowings  were term advances with a total balance of $98.6 million and a weighted average rates of 1.19% at the end of the second quarter 2022 and 0.48% at year-end 2021.

Table of Contents

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities were $66.1 million compared to $58.0 million at year-end 2021.  The $8.0 million increase is principally due to tax credit and community development investment commitments made in the first quarter 2022.

Equity

Total equity at quarter-end was $393.6 million compared to $424.1 million at year-end 2021.  The $30.5 million decrease in the first half of 2022 included net of income totaling $19.6 million, $7.5 million of dividends to shareholders and $43.3 million of other comprehensive losses.  Other comprehensive losses were primarily due to unrealized losses on securities, net of tax, totaling $40.3 million.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021

Net Income

Net income in the second quarter 2022 was $10.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $9.0 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $10.5 million or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $9.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2021.

Net income for the first half of 2022 was $19.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $18.5 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, in the same period of 2021. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) totaled $19.7 million or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $19.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, in the same period of 2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $26.5 million in the second quarter 2022 compared with $22.8 million in the same quarter of 2021.  Net interest margin (NIM) was 3.19% compared to 2.74% in second quarter of 2021.  The increase in net interest income and net interest margin was due to higher interest on earning assets due to the Federal Reserve increasing their federal funds target rate.  Interest and fees on PPP loans contributed $1.1 million to net interest income and 7 basis points to NIM in the second quarter 2021.  Interest-bearing cash balances, held mostly at the Federal Reserve Bank, reduced NIM by 5 basis points in the second quarter 2022 and 19 basis points in the second quarter 2021.  The yield on earning assets totaled 3.46% compared to 3.26% in the second quarter 2021.  Excluding the impact of PPP and excess cash, the yield on earning assets totaled 3.51% and 3.44% for the same periods. The yield on loans was 3.71% in the second quarter 2022, and 3.70% in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP loans the yield on loans was 3.71% in the second quarter of 2022 and 3.64% in the second quarter 2021. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.36% from 0.66% in the second quarter 2021 due to lower deposit rates and less wholesale borrowings.

For the first six months of 2022, net interest income was $50.8 million compared with $46.2 million in the same quarter of 2021.  The comparison of NIM and earning asset yields for the respective six month periods of 2022 and 2021 were 3.07% and 2.81%, and 3.34% and 3.36%.  The explanations for the improvement in NIM are consistent with those provided in the year-over-year three month comparison above.  

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the quarter was $534 thousand, compared to a recapture of $765 thousand in the second quarter of 2022.  For the first half of 2022, provision for credit losses for the quarter was $911 thousand and was a benefit of $1.3 million in the same period of 2021.  The change in the provisions for credit losses and benefit are mostly attributable to loan growth in 2022 and improved credit quality metrics in 2021, respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income in the second quarter 2022 was $9.0 million, compared to $9.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. Customer service fees were $3.7 million in the second quarter compared to $3.3 million in the same period of 2021. The increase reflects the net new accounts that were opened and a higher volume of customer activity and transactions. Wealth management income was $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021 on strong cash inflows offset by market volatility effects on assets under management. Mortgage banking income was $488 thousand, compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2021 reflecting higher on balance sheet activity and lower residential loan originations.

65

Table of Contents

Non-interest income for the first half of 2022 was $18.3 million compared to $19.8 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease reflects a 17% increase in customer service fees, 2% in wealth management income, and 73% decrease in mortgage banking income; all of which were driven by the same reasons as the quarterly period.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $21.7 million in the second quarter 2022 and the same quarter of 2021 reflecting consistent and stable costs across most categories excluding occupancy and equipment, and acquisition, conversion and other expense.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased $479 thousand on higher utility costs and software amortization.  Acquisition, conversion and other expense was zero in the second of 2022 and totaled $553 thousand in the same quarter of 2021, which was mostly reduction in workforce charges.  The efficiency ratio in the second quarter 2022 was 59.25%, down from 63.45% in the second quarter 2021.  

For the first six months of 2022, non-interest expense was $43.6 million and $44.2 million in the same period of 2021. The Company's year-to-date efficiency ratio was 60.78% in 2022 compared to 62.20% in 2021 which reflects managements disciplined approach to expense management as revenue continues to grow.  Non-recurring expenses (non-GAAP) in the first half of 2022 were $325 thousand related to contract renogiations and $1.8 million in the same period of 2021 consisting of mostly workforce reduction charges.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Liquidity is measured by our ability to meet short-term cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimal loss. We seek 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 our ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served by our network of offices, 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 8% 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.

Our 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, 2022, available same-day liquidity totaled approximately $640.6 million, 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 our amortizing securities and loan portfolios.  We had unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $436 million, unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve of $87 million and unused lines of credit totaling $51.0 million, in addition to over $67.1 million in unencumbered, liquid investment portfolio assets.  

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 us. Our 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 our liquidity position.

Capital Resources

Please see the “Equity” section of the Comparison of Financial Condition for a discussion of shareholders’ equity together with the Note 6 Capital Ratios and Shareholders’ Equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additional information about regulatory capital is contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by our Board of Directors.  Dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $7.5 million and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  All dividends declared and distributed by us will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are, 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 our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that may be material to investors.

Our 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.

Our 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, 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. The most significant accounting policies we follow are presented in Note 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These factors include among other things, whether the policy requires management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. The accounting policies which we believe to be most critical in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in the section titled "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021.

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. The most significant market risk that affects us is interest rate risk. Other types of market risk do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.

The responsibility for interest rate risk management oversight is the function of the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee, or 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 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 option provisions are examined on an individual basis in each rate environment to estimate the likelihood of exercise. Prepayment assumptions for mortgage loans are calibrated using specific Bank experience while mortgage-backed securities are developed from industry standard models 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.

The simulation models a parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual “rate ramp” and a “rate shock” have on earnings expectations. Our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflects changes to net interest income assuming no balance sheet

growth and a parallel shift in interest rates. All rate changes were “ramped” over the first 12-month period and then maintained at those levels over the remainder of the simulation horizon. Changes in net interest income based upon these simulations are measured against the flat interest rate scenario.

As of June 30, 2022, interest rate sensitivity modeling results indicate that the Bank’s balance sheet was asset sensitive over the one- and two-year horizons.

The following table presents the changes in sensitivities on net interest income for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

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 while deteriorating further from that level over the two-year horizon.

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 over both the one and two-year horizons.

As compared to June 30, 2021, sensitivity to a down 100 basis point rate movement has increased while sensitivity to an up 200 basis point rate movement has decreased on a year-over-year basis.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a 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, we 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.
