NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of condition of Camden National Corporation (the "Company") as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Camden National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (which includes the consolidated accounts of Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC"), Property A, Inc. and Property P, Inc.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary capacity, through Camden National Wealth Management, a division of the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the consolidated statements of condition. The Company also owns 100% of the common stock of Camden Capital Trust A and Union Bankshares Capital Trust I; these entities are unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported. Net income reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The acronyms, abbreviations and definitions identified below are used throughout this Form 10-Q, including Part I. "Financial Information" and Part II. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Adopted

The Company adopted the following accounting standards in 2019, and such standards have been accounted for and presented within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as follows:

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"): In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Prior lease accounting did not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, using the following practical expedients for transitional relief provided for within the subsequent issuance of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"):


•	An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is or contains leases.


•	An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases.


•	An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.


•	An entity may elect to apply hindsight to leases that existed during the period from the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements until the effective date.


•	A modified retrospective transition method, which allows companies to apply ASU 2016-02 at the date of adoption and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In conjunction with the adoption of Topic 842, the Company made the following accounting policy elections:


•	For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a right-of-use asset or lease liability will not be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition.


•	For non-real estate leased assets with individual undiscounted contractual cash flows of less than $500,000 over the reasonably certain term of the lease, a right-of-use asset or lease liability will not be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as the lease is considered immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

The Company has completed its assessment and implementation process for ASU 2016-02 and recorded operating and finance lease right-of-use assets of $12.1 million and lease liabilities of $12.3 million on the consolidated statements of condition within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on January 1, 2019. Because the modified-retrospective transition method was used, the Company did not revise prior period presentation on its consolidated statements of income. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, which included a cumulative-effect adjustment of $254,000 to retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 5 for further details.

Accounting Standards Issued

The following are recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), updated by ASU No. 2018-19, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Codification Improvements to Topic 326 ("ASU 2018-19"), and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief ("ASU 2019-05"). In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to require timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company, and the Company will adopt the ASU, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the guidance using a modified-retrospective approach, whereby a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company will use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date, as applicable.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 to provide entities impacted by ASU 2016-13 with targeted transition relief upon adoption. ASU 2019-05 provided that for certain instruments within the scope of ASU 2016-13 the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in accordance with Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments - Overall ("ASC 825"), applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The fair value option election does not apply to HTM debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option is to apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement - Overall, and ASC 825-10. The Company will not elect the fair value option upon adoption of ASU 2016-13.

While the Company continues to prepare for the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, it recognizes that changes to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption are imminent as the ASU requires:

•

A change in the Company's assessment of its ALL and allowance on certain unused commitments and guarantees as it will transition from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, which may result in an increase in the ALL upon adoption and may negatively impact the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios. Furthermore, upon adoption of the ASU, the amount and timing of provision for credit losses and related allowance for credit losses may change, impacting net income and shareholders' equity in those periods.


•	An allowance on the expected losses over the life of the Company's HTM investments to be recorded upon adoption, which may reduce the carrying value of these securities.

•

Changes to the considerations when assessing AFS debt securities for OTTI, including (i) no longer considering the amount of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position and (ii) no longer considering the historical and implied volatility of a security and recoveries or declines in the fair value after the balance sheet date, as well as the presentation of OTTI as an allowance rather than a permanent write-down of the debt security.


•	Changes to the disclosure requirements to reflect the transition from an incurred loss methodology to an expected credit loss methodology, as well as certain disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables disaggregated by year of origination (or vintage).

In 2015, the Company began its preparation for ASU 2016-13, understanding the significance of the standard and its potential impact to its consolidated financial statements and the financial industry. Although the Company continues to review, validate and refine its loss methodologies in accordance with ASU 2016-13, as well as review, assess and refine its control environment to accommodate the requirements of ASU 2016-13, it has completed certain critical tasks and components as it prepares for adoption on January 1, 2020, such as the assessment and validation of critical data points. At this time, the Company does not have an estimated financial impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements. The Company will disclose the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-03 in its year ending December 31, 2019 annual report on Form 10-K as it pertains to the Company's loan portfolio and certain unfunded commitments and guarantees. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company does not believe the change in accounting for HTM investments will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company's HTM investment portfolio is immaterial at September 30, 2019. Should the make-up of the Company's HTM investment portfolio change in the fourth quarter of 2019, then the impact of the ASU could become more significant.

The Company continues to monitor and assess exposure drafts produced by the FASB pertaining to ASU 2016-13.

ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"): In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 was issued to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, in accordance with ASU 2017-04, a Company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company, and will be adopted by the Company, on January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The Company continues to monitor and assess exposure drafts produced by the FASB pertaining to this topic.

Net unrealized gains on AFS investments reported within AOCI at September 30, 2019, were $7.5 million, net of a deferred tax liability of $2.0 million. Net unrealized losses on AFS investments reported within AOCI at December 31, 2018, were $17.8 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $4.9 million.

Impaired AFS and HTM Investments:

Quarterly, management reviews the Company’s AFS and HTM investments to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, and recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses on AFS and HTM investments that were in a continuous loss position that was considered temporary, by length of time that an individual security in each category has been in a continuous loss position as of the dates indicated:

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unrealized losses within the AFS and HTM investment portfolios were reflective of current interest rates in excess of the yield received on debt investments, and were not indicative of an overall change in credit quality or other factors. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, gross unrealized losses on the Company's AFS and HTM investments were 1% and 3%, respectively, of their respective fair values.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had the intent and ability to retain its debt investments in an unrealized loss position until the decline in value has recovered.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, excluding residential loans held for sale, was as follows for the dates indicated:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Residential real estate	$	1,061,898	$	992,866
Commercial real estate	1,255,519		1,269,533
Commercial	421,754		381,780

Consumer	24,187		20,624
HPFC	23,712		33,656
Total loans	$	3,110,634	$	3,026,222

The loan balances for each portfolio segment presented above are net of their respective unamortized fair value mark discount on acquired loans and net of unamortized loan origination costs for the dates indicated:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Net unamortized fair value mark discount on acquired loans	$	2,887		$	3,936
Net unamortized loan origination costs	(2,936		)	(1,865		)
Total	$	(49	)	$	2,071

The Bank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include loan production offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Company originates single- and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

In the normal course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies, under terms that are consistent with the Company's lending policies and regulatory requirements and that do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, outstanding loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies was less than 5% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

The HPFC loan portfolio consists of niche commercial lending to the small business medical field, including dentists, optometrists and veterinarians across the U.S. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the success of the borrower's business. In 2016, the Company closed HPFC's operations and is no longer originating HPFC loans.

The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

There were no significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Board of Directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. Credit Risk Administration and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the Board of Directors. The Company's practice is to manage the portfolio proactively such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions.

For purposes of determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, consumer and HPFC. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include the following:

Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential properties, including for investment purposes.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care facilities and other specific use properties. 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. 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.

Commercial. Commercial 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. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes 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. Consumer loan products include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

HPFC. Prior to the Company's closing of HPFC's operations in 2016, it provided commercial lending to dentists, optometrists and veterinarians, many of which were start-up companies. HPFC's loan portfolio consists of term loan obligations extended for the purpose of financing working capital and/or purchase of equipment. Collateral consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment. These loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower and the original terms range from seven to ten years.

The provision (credit) for loan losses excludes any impact for the change in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. At September 30, 2019 and 2018, and December 31, 2018, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $11,000, $15,000 and $22,000, respectively.

The following reconciles the provision for loan losses to the provision for credit losses as presented on the consolidated statements of income for the periods indicated:

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored by the Company's Credit Risk Administration. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's total exposure to the lessors of nonresidential buildings' industry was 12% of total loans and 31% of total commercial real estate loans. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2019.

To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and HPFC loans are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ALL:

•

Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.

•

Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.


•	Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.

•

Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.


•	Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.

Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs, are considered non-performing.

The following summarizes credit risk exposure indicators by portfolio segment as of the following dates:

The Company closely monitors the performance of its loan portfolio. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower is deteriorating, payment in full of both principal and interest is not expected as scheduled or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. Exceptions may be made if the asset is secured by collateral sufficient to satisfy both the principal and accrued interest in full and collection is reasonably assured. When one loan to a borrower is placed on non-accrual status, all other loans to the borrower are re-evaluated to determine if they should also be placed on non-accrual status. All previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed at this time. A loan may return to accrual status when collection of principal and interest is assured and the borrower has demonstrated timely payments of principal and interest for a reasonable period. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

The following is a loan aging analysis by portfolio segment (including loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans) and a summary of non-accrual loans, which include TDRs, and loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $106,000 and $171,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine

months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $330,000 and $507,000, respectively.

TDRs:

The Company takes a conservative approach with credit risk management and remains focused on community lending and reinvesting. The Company works closely with borrowers experiencing credit problems to assist in loan repayment or term modifications. TDRs consist of loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, granted a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs typically involve term modifications or a reduction of either interest or principal. Once such an obligation has been restructured, it will remain a TDR until paid in full, or until the loan is again restructured at current market rates and no concessions are granted.

The specific reserve allowance was determined by discounting the total expected future cash flows from the borrower at the original loan interest rate, or if the loan is currently collateral-dependent, using the net realizable value, which was obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations. The following is a summary of TDRs, by portfolio segment, and the associated specific reserve included within the ALL as of the dates indicated:

Loan Sales:

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold $86.9 million and $58.4 million, respectively, of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold $164.5 million and $155.6 million, respectively, of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had certain residential mortgage loans with a principal balance of $16.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, designated as held for sale. The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its loans held for sale, and at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, recorded an unrealized (loss) gain of ($181,000) and $89,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net change in unrealized losses on loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income was $205,000 and $99,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net change in unrealized losses on loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income was $269,000 and $67,000, respectively.

The Company has forward delivery commitments with a secondary market investor on each of its loans held for sale at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's forward delivery commitments.

In-Process Foreclosure Proceedings:

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in process. The Company continues to be focused on working these consumer mortgage loans through the foreclosure process to resolution; however, the foreclosure process, typically, will take 18 to 24 months due to the State of Maine foreclosure laws.

FHLB Advances:

FHLB advances are those borrowings from the FHLBB greater than 90 days. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain commercial real estate loans, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. The carrying value of residential real estate and commercial loans pledged as collateral was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Refer to Notes 3 and 7 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of securities pledged as collateral.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02, using the modified- retrospective method. As such, for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, leases are recognized, presented and disclosed in accordance with ASU 2016-02, while periods prior to the adoption date were not adjusted and are reported in accordance with ASC 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). Refer to Note 2 for further details.

The Company enters into noncancellable lease arrangements primarily for its office buildings and branches. Certain lease arrangements contain clauses requiring increasing rental payments over the lease term, which may be linked to an index (commonly the Consumer Price Index) or contractually stipulated. Many of these lease arrangements provide the Company with the option to renew the lease arrangement after the initial lease term. These options are included in determining the lease term used to establish the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise its renewal option. As most of the Company's leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is primarily used to determine the discount rate for purposes of measuring the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In connection with an acquisition, the Company assumed a lease arrangement with two of its employees. The lease is for a period of five years with an expiration date of December 1, 2019 with two consecutive five-year extension periods available at the option of the Company. The lease arrangement contains certain termination clauses whereby the Company has the right to terminate the lease arrangement.

The following right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been reported within other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition for the period indicated:

NOTE 7 – REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or a 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 statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security for the repurchase obligations. Because the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transaction does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement, the Company is 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, the Company either deals 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 the Company's safekeeping agents.

The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and types of collateral for the periods indicated:

Certain counterparties monitor collateral, and may request additional collateral to be posted from time to time.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND DERIVATIVES

Legal Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions, and based on the information currently available, management believes that the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or that were required to be disclosed.

Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The following is a summary of the contractual and notional amounts of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Lending-Related Instruments:
Commitments to extend credit	$	755,731	$	654,575
Standby letters of credit	5,776		3,063
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Customer loan swaps	$	832,286	$	833,030
Interest rate swap on loans	100,000		—
Fixed-rate mortgage interest rate lock commitments	54,144		12,077
Junior subordinated debt interest rate swaps	43,000		43,000
Forward delivery commitments	16,630		4,315
FHLBB advance interest rate swaps	—		25,000

Lending-Related Instruments

The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn upon. These instruments are subject to the Company’s credit approval process, including an evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Of the total commitments to extend credit, $275.1 million and $270.8 million were unconditionally cancellable by the Company at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a borrower to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, the Company would be required to fund the commitment and would be entitled to the underlying collateral, if applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate. The maximum potential future payments are limited to the contractual amount of the commitment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of Company's normal mortgage origination process, it provides the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, the Company is subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, the Company may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best effort" basis, with certain approved investors. The Company accounts for its interest rate lock commitments on loans that will be held for sale as derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company records a derivative for its "best effort" forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should the Company enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor, it accounts for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative upon execution of the mandatory delivery contract.

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At September 30, 2019, the Company designated its interest rate swaps on its junior subordinated debentures and its interest rate swap on loans as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value for cash flow hedges is accounted for within AOCI, net of tax. Quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, each cash flow hedge is assessed for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified, this amount is recorded within the consolidated statements of income. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge is reclassified from AOCI into interest within the consolidated statements of income in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The change in fair value of derivative instruments, not designated and qualifying as hedges, are accounted for within the consolidated statements of income.

Customer Loan Swaps:

The Bank will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while the Bank simultaneously enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to manage its interest rate exposure effectively.

The Bank's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Bank's interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents them on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

The following table presents the total positions, notional and fair value of the Company's customer loans swaps with its commercial customers and the corresponding interest rate swap agreements with the counterparty for the dates indicated:

The Bank seeks to mitigate its customer counterparty credit risk exposure through its loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Bank seeks to mitigate its institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which it will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty as necessary. The Bank's arrangement with its institutional counterparty requires it to post cash or other assets as collateral for its customer loan swap contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating or receive cash collateral for contracts in a net asset position as requested. At September 30, 2019, the Bank posted $26.2 million of cash to the counterparty as collateral on its customer loan swap contracts which was presented within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. At December 31, 2018, the counterparty posted $5.1 million of cash to the Bank as collateral on its customer loan swap contracts which was presented within interest-bearing deposits in other banks on the consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of master netting arrangements and presentation within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Swap on Loans:

On June 12, 2019, the Bank entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap contract with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with its variable-rate loans. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with the counterparty and settles payments monthly on a net basis. The Bank's arrangement with the counterparty requires it to post collateral for its interest rate swap on loans when it is in a net liability position based on its fair value. If the interest rate swap is in a net asset position based on its fair value, the counterparty will post collateral to the Bank as requested. At September 30, 2019, the counterparty posted $1.5 million of cash to the Bank as collateral on its interest rate swap, which was presented within interest-bearing deposits in other banks as restricted cash on the Company's consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of master netting arrangements and presentation within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Net payments paid to the counterparty for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $176,000 and were classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fixed-Rate Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments:

As part of the origination process of a residential loan, the Company may enter into rate lock agreements with its borrower, which is considered an interest rate lock commitment. If the Company has the intention to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative. The Company's pipeline of mortgage loans with fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments for which it intends to sell the loan upon origination was as follows for the dates indicated:



		September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
(In thousands)	Presentation on Consolidated Statements of Condition	Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount		Fair Value

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net unrealized gain from the change in fair value on the Company's fixed-rate mortgage rate locks reported within mortgage banking income, net, on the consolidated statements of income was $467,000 and $46,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net unrealized gain from the change in fair value on the Company's fixed-rate mortgage rate locks reported within mortgage banking income, net, on the consolidated statements of income was $871,000 and $38,000, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Debt Interest Rate Swaps:

The Company entered into five interest rate swap agreements with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable rate borrowings. Each interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty quarterly on a net basis. The interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company to post cash or other assets as collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty will post collateral to the Company as requested. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company posted $10.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of cash as collateral to the counterparty, which was presented within other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of master netting arrangements and presentation within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges within the consolidated statements of income.

Net payments to the counterparty for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $518,000 and $689,000, respectively, and were classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Forward Delivery Commitments:

The Company typically enters into a forward delivery commitment with a secondary market investor, which has been approved by the Company within its normal governance process, at the onset of the loan origination process. The Company may enter into these arrangements with the secondary market investors on a "best effort" or "mandatory delivery" basis. The Company's normal practice is typically to enter into these arrangements on a "best effort" basis. The Company enters into these arrangements with the secondary market investors to manage its interest rate exposure. The Company accounts for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative (but does not designate it as a hedge) upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale.

The Company's forward delivery commitments on loans held for sale for the dates indicated were as follows:



		September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	Notional		Fair Value			Notional		Fair Value

The Company expects approximately $895,000 (pre-tax) to be reclassified to interest expense from AOCI, related to the Company’s cash flow hedges, in the next 12 months. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of September 30, 2019.

NOTE 9 – BALANCE SHEET OFSETTING

The Company does not offset the carrying value for derivative instruments or repurchase agreements on the consolidated statements of condition. The Company and Bank do net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be pledged or received is monitored and adjusted as necessary. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of repurchase agreements and Note 8 for further discussion of derivative instruments.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company and Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital, Tier I capital, and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, subject to a transition schedule that was fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company and the Bank were required to establish a capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the Bank's capital ratios met the requirements for the Bank to be considered "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisions for each period. There were no changes to the Company or Bank's capital ratios that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2019, that would change the Company or Bank's regulatory capital categorization. The following table presents the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios at the periods indicated:



	September 30, 2019				Minimum Regulatory Capital Required for Capital Adequacy plus Capital Conservation Buffer		Minimum Regulatory Provision To Be "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions		December 31, 2018				Minimum Regulatory Capital Required for Capital Adequacy plus Capital Conservation Buffer		Minimum Regulatory Provision To Be "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

In 2015, the Company issued $15.0 million of subordinated debentures, and in 2006 and 2008, it issued $43.0 million of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities. Although the subordinated debentures and the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, each within its calculation of risk-based capital. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $15.0 million of subordinated debentures were included as Tier II capital and were included in the calculation of the Company's total risk-based capital, and, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier I and total risk-based capital for the Company.

The Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets fluctuate due to normal business, including profits and losses generated by the Company and Bank as well as changes to their asset mix. Of particular significance are changes within the Company and Bank's loan portfolio mix due to the differences in regulatory risk-weighting between retail and commercial loans. Furthermore, the Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets are subject to change due to changes in GAAP and regulatory capital standards. The Company and Bank proactively monitor their regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets, and the impact of changes to their asset mix, and impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

Diluted EPS	$	0.94		$	0.90		$	2.70		$	2.50


(1)	Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.


(2)	Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares and restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method. Not included are the unvested LTIP awards, which are the Company's performance-based awards.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no anti-dilutive stock based awards that have been excluded from the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS, because the average market price of the Company's common stock is greater than the exercise prices.

Nonvested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities.

Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested stock-based awards. Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. Electing the fair value option for loans held for sale enables the Company’s financial position to more clearly align with the economic value of the actively traded asset.

The fair value hierarchy for valuation of an asset or liability is as follows:

Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3: Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices or executed sales agreements and is classified as Level 2.

Debt Securities: The fair value of investments in debt securities is reported utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value of debt securities is classified as Level 2.

Equity Securities: The fair value of investments in equity securities is reported utilizing market prices based on recent trading activity and dealer quotes. These equity securities are traded on inactive markets and are classified as Level 2.

Derivatives: The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps is determined using inputs that are observable in the market place obtained from third parties including yield curves, publicly available volatilities, and floating indexes and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 inputs. The credit value adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives due to collateral postings.

The fair value of the Company's fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments were determined using secondary market pricing for loans with similar structures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, adjusted for the Company's pull-through rate estimate (i.e. estimate of loans within its pipeline that will ultimately complete the origination process and be funded). The Company has classified its fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2, as the quoted secondary market prices are the more significant input, and although the Company's internal pull-through rate estimate is a Level 3 estimate, it is less significant to the ultimate valuation.

The fair value of the Company's forward delivery commitments are determined using secondary market pricing for loans with similar structures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, and the locked and agreed to price with the secondary market investor. The Company has classified its fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, for the dates indicated:

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans: Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The Company's policy is to evaluate individually for impairment loans with a principal balance of $500,000 or more, that are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual status. Once the population of loans is identified for individual impairment assessment, the Company measures these loans for impairment by comparing net realizable value, which is the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, to the carrying value of the loan. If the net realizable value of the loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, then a loss is recognized as part of the ALL to adjust the loan's carrying value to net realizable value. Accordingly, certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party market approach appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, and Level 3 inputs where circumstances warrant an adjustment to the appraised value based on the age of the appraisal and/or comparable sales, condition of the collateral, and market conditions.

Servicing Assets: The Company accounts for mortgage servicing assets at cost, subject to impairment testing. When the carrying value of a tranche exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying cost to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes two significant unobservable inputs, namely loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used, to calculate the fair value of each tranche, and, as such, the Company has classified the model within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the mortgage servicing assets were not carried at fair value.

Non-Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of OREO, and goodwill and other intangible assets.

OREO: OREO properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at net realizable value, which is the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down of the recorded investment in the related loan is charged to the ALL upon transfer to OREO. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal is used or an internal valuation is prepared to substantiate fair value of the property. After foreclosure, management periodically, but at least annually, obtains updated valuations of the OREO properties and, if additional impairments are deemed necessary, the subsequent write-downs for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance and a provision for losses charged to other non-interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. As management considers appropriate, adjustments are made to the appraisal obtained for the OREO property to account for recent sales activity of comparable properties, changes in the condition of the property, and changes in market conditions. These adjustments are not observable in an active market and are classified as Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of goodwill is estimated by utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, bank merger multiples, and/or an estimation of the impact of business conditions and investor activities on the long-term value of the goodwill. Should an impairment occur, the associated goodwill is written-down to fair value and the impairment charge is recorded within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently as necessary. There have been no indications or triggering events during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, for which management believes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of those relationships. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If necessary, management will test the core deposit intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to the expected

undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets exceed their carrying value then the intangible assets are deemed to be fully recoverable and not impaired. However, if the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets are less than their carrying value, then an impairment charge is recorded to mark the carrying value of the intangible assets to fair value. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The discussions set forth below and in the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including certain plans, exceptions, goals, projections, and statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “plan,” “target,” or “goal” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the Company’s goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:


•	weakness in the United States economy in general and the regional and local economies within the New England region and Maine, which could result in a deterioration of credit quality, an increase in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for the Company’s credit or fee-based products and services;


•	changes in trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;


•	inflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations;


•	competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks;


•	volatility in the securities markets that could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, impairment of goodwill, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs, and which could lead to impairment in the value of securities in the Company's investment portfolio;


•	changes in information technology and other operational risks, including cybersecurity, that require increased capital spending;


•	changes in consumer spending and savings habits;


•	changes in tax, banking, securities and insurance laws and regulations; and


•	changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and other accounting standard setters.

You should carefully review all of these factors, and be aware that there may be other factors that could cause differences, including the risk factors listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated by the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this report, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described therein and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Camden National Corporation (hereafter referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a publicly-held bank holding company, with $4.5 billion in assets at September 30, 2019, incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine and headquartered in Camden, Maine. Camden National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was founded in 1875. The Company was founded in 1984, went public in 1997 and is now registered with NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol "CAC."

The primary business of the Company and the Bank is to attract deposits from, and to extend loans to, consumer, institutional, municipal, non-profit and commercial customers. The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad array of banking and other financial services, including wealth management and trust services, brokerage, investment advisory and insurance services, to consumer, business, non-profit and municipal customers.

The Company competes throughout Maine, and select areas of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We operate in 13 of Maine's 16 counties, with our primary markets and presence being throughout coastal and central Maine. The Company and the Bank generally have effectively competed with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service, highlighted by local decision-making, establishing long-term customer relationships, building customer loyalty and providing products and services designed to meet the needs of customers.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the return on average tangible equity, efficiency ratio; tax equivalent net interest income; tangible book value per share; and tangible common equity ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized for purposes of measuring performance against the Company's peer group and other financial institutions, as well as for analyzing its internal performance. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allows for better performance comparisons to other banks. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions.

Return on Average Tangible Equity: Return on average tangible equity is the ratio of (i) net income, adjusted for tax effected amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment, as necessary, to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and other intangible assets. This adjusted financial ratio reflects a shareholders' return on tangible capital deployed in our business and is a common measure within the financial services industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported. Actual results could materially differ from the Company's current estimates, as a result of changing conditions and future events. Several estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including (i) the allowance for loan losses; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) OTTI of investments; and (iv) income taxes.

There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies as disclosed within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the impact to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the status of issued accounting pronouncements yet to be adopted and implemented.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $14.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively, representing an increase over the same periods last year of 3% and 7%. Diluted EPS increased 4% to $0.94 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 8% to $2.70 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods last year. Other key financial metrics that we utilize to asses our financial performance over these periods include:


•	A return on average assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, of 1.29% and 1.28%, respectively, compared to 1.34% and 1.27% for the same periods last year;


•	A return on average equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, of 12.26% and 12.32%, respectively, compared to 13.44% and 12.83% for the same periods last year; and


•	A return on average tangible equity² for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, of 15.67% and 15.89%, respectively, compared to 17.84% and 17.15% for the same periods last year.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s interest rate risk position was asset sensitive. A decrease in Treasury rates and the federal funds rate is modeled to reduce net interest income through a decrease in net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis. To help limit the impact of lower interest rates on net interest income, the Company has taken certain actions throughout the year, including:


•	Holding more fixed rate loans within its loan portfolio, for both the commercial and residential loan portfolios. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, fixed rate loans were 47% and 44% of total loans, respectively.


•	Added investments with a longer life through investment restructuring strategies and ongoing purchases. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the investment portfolios weighted average life was 5.9 years and 5.3 years, respectively.


•	Entered into a pay-floating, receive-fixed interest rate swap cash flow hedge on $100.0 million of its variable rate commercial real estate loans.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, increased 5% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. Strong average deposit growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of 15% and 14%, respectively, over the same periods last year enabled us to fund average loan growth of 8% and 9% over the same periods more efficiently. However, our net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis decreased 5 basis points to 3.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year. This was a result of lower interest rates due to the decrease in the Federal Funds rate of 50 basis points and the 10-year treasury rate decrease of 137 basis points over a 12-month period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis increased 2 basis points to 3.13%, compared to the same period last year.

1	Total revenues is the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.


2	Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP" for further details.

Asset quality for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 remained strong. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, non-performing assets to total assets was 0.30% and 0.34%, and the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.83% and 0.82%, respectively. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were 0.16% and 0.07%, respectively, compared to 0.07% for the same periods last year.

Non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 3% and 5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. We continue to focus on diversifying our revenue streams, and we have been able to maintain a relatively stable ratio of non-interest income to total revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, non-interest income was 25% and 24% of total revenues.

Non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, increased 3% over the same periods last year. For each period, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily driven by our investments in people and technology. We will continue to leverage these investments to drive revenue growth and create efficiencies within our processes. Our efficiency ratio, calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenues, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, was 55.67% and 56.14%, compared to 56.76% and 58.18% for the same periods last year. Our efficiency ratio, adjusted for tax-equivalized income and net gains on the sale of investments, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 55.32% and 55.82%, respectively, compared to 57.33% and 58.14% for the same periods last year.

The Company declared a dividend of $0.30 per share in the third quarter of 2019, which represented an annualized dividend yield of 2.77% as of September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 404,213 shares of the Company's common stock, or approximately 3% of shares outstanding, at a weighted-average price of $42.49 per share under the repurchase plan. As of September 30, 2019, 370,787 shares of the Company's stock were available for repurchase under the current repurchase program.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets, plus net loan fees, origination costs, and accretion or amortization of fair value marks on loans and/or CDs created in purchase accounting, less the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, net interest income accounted for 75% of total revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, net interest income accounted for 76% of total revenues. Net interest income is affected by several factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2019 was $32.2 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 5%, over the same period last year. The increase was driven by strong average loan and deposit growth between periods, but was partially offset by net interest margin¹compression of five basis points between periods to 3.09% for the third quarter of 2019.

•

The increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2019 over the third quarter of 2018 was due to an increase in average interest-earnings assets of $249.7 million, or 6%, and a 14 basis point increase in the interest-earning asset yield to 4.11% for the third quarter of 2019. Average loan balances grew $221.6 million, or 8% in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018, and our average loan yield expanded 11 basis points over the same period to 4.60% for the third quarter of 2019.

•

The increase in interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 over the third quarter of 2018 was driven by the 20 basis point increase in funding costs over this period to 1.08% for the third quarter of 2019, due to the increase in market rates between periods and competition for deposits. Total average deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased $440.7 million, or 15%, over the third quarter of 2018 to $3.3 billion for the third quarter of 2019 led by checking account growth of $288.5 million, or 21%. The growth in average deposit balances and higher interest rates between periods of 32 basis points drove an increase in interest expense on deposits, excluding brokered deposits, between periods of $3.3 million, or 85%. Strong average deposit growth resulted in lower average borrowings of $215.4 million, or 26%, for the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $96.1 million, representing an increase of $6.6 million, or 7%, over the same period last year. The increase was driven by strong average loan and deposit growth between periods, while net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis¹ expanded two basis points between periods to 3.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

•

The increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, over the same period last year was due to an increase in our interest-earning asset yield of 27 basis points to 4.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and an increase in average interest-earnings assets of $258.2 million, or 7%, over the same period. Average loan balances grew $247.7 million, or 9%, over this period to $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and our average loan yield expanded 25 basis points over this period to 4.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

•

The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 over the same period last year was driven by the 28 basis point increase in funding costs over this period to 1.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the increase in market interest rates between periods and competition for deposits. Total average deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased $397.7 million, or 14%, to $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 with checking account growth of $290.3, or 22%. The growth in average deposit balances and higher interest rates between periods of 35 basis points drove an increase in interest expense on deposits, excluding brokered deposits, between periods of $9.9 million, or 99%. Strong average deposit growth resulted in lower borrowings of $171.7 million, or 20%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year.

(1)	Presented within increase (decrease) due to rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 was a decrease in net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis of $25,000 due to a decrease in fair value mark accretion on loans and CDs generated in purchase accounting and collection of previously charged-off acquired loans.


(2)	Presented within increase (decrease) due to rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was a decrease in net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis of $332,000 due to a decrease in fair value mark accretion on loans and CDs generated in purchase accounting and collection of previously charged-off acquired loans.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is primarily made up of our provision for loan losses, but also includes the provision for unfunded commitments.

The provision for loan losses is a recorded expense determined by management that adjusts the ALL to a level that, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans,

potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision for loan losses reflects the necessary increases in the ALL related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.

For the third quarter of 2019, the provision for loan losses was $733,000, compared to $355,000 for the third quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 was 0.09% of average loans (annualized), compared to 0.05% of average loans (annualized) for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the provision for loan losses between periods was primarily due to the foreclosure of two residential mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2019 driving an elevated annualized net charge-offs to average loans ratio for the third quarter of 2019 of 0.16%, compared an annualized net charge-offs to average loans ratio of 0.07% for the third quarter of 2018.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the provision for loan losses was $2.7 million, compared to $845,000 for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 0.12% of average loans (annualized), compared to 0.04% of average loans (annualized) for the same period last year. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a large commercial real estate loan the first quarter of 2018 that was previously on non-accrual, which resulted in the reversal of $968,000 of provision for loan loss expense previously provided for.

The provision for unfunded commitments represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Please refer to “—Financial Condition—Asset Quality” below for additional discussion regarding the ALL and overall asset quality.

(1) Mortgage banking income, net:


•	The increase for the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018, was driven by an increase in residential mortgage loans sold between periods of $28.5 million, or 49%, and an increase in unrealized gains on fixed-rate mortgage interest rate lock commitments on pipeline residential mortgages of $421,000 between periods.


•	The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was driven by an increase in unrealized gains on fixed-rate mortgage interest rate lock commitments on pipeline residential mortgages of $833,000 between periods, and an increase in mortgage loans sold between periods of $8.9 million, or 6%.


(2)	Income from fiduciary services: The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods last year, was driven by growth of assets under management. Client assets under management at September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $874.0 million and $800.7 million, respectively, representing a 12-month growth rate of 9%.

Non-GAAP efficiency ratio	55.32		%	57.33		%						55.82		%	58.14		%

(1) Salaries and employee benefits: The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods last year, was primarily driven by an increase in the number of employees, annual merit increases, and an increase in employee insurance program costs.

(2)

Regulatory assessments: The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods last year, was driven by the receipt during the third quarter of a Small Bank Assessment Credit from the FDIC for the Company's second quarter assessment period, as the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) reserve ratio exceeded its regulatory limit. It is anticipated that the Company will receive further related credits in coming quarters, should the FDIC continue to meet and exceed its required DIF reserve ratio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Investments

The Company utilizes the investment portfolio to manage liquidity, interest rate risk, and regulatory capital, as well as to take advantage of market conditions to generate a favorable return on investments without undue risk. The Company’s investment portfolio consists of debt securities we have designated as AFS, debt securities we have designated as HTM and common stock of the FHLBB, FRB and certain banks. Investments decreased $234,000, or less than 1%, at September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. The following is the activity in our investment portfolio:


•	The purchase of $225.0 million of investments in the first nine months of 2019 with a weighted average life of 7.8 years.


•	A net increase in the fair value of the AFS debt securities portfolio of $32.3 million driven by the change in general market conditions, specifically a decrease in long-term interest rates at September 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018.


•	Offset by sales, paydowns and calls of $255.4 million.

Our investments in FHLBB and FRB common stock are carried at cost. These investments are presented within other investments on the consolidated statements of condition. We are required to maintain a level of investment in FHLBB stock based on our level of FHLBB advances, and maintain a level of investment in FRB common stock based on the Bank's capital

levels. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our investment in FHLBB stock totaled $5.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and our investment in FRB stock was $5.4 million at each date.

The Company monitors its investments for the presence of OTTI. For debt securities, which made up 99% of our investment portfolio at September 30, 2019, the primary consideration in determining OTTI impairment is whether or not the Bank expects to collect all contractual cash flows.

We continuously monitor and evaluate our investment portfolio to identify and assess risks within our portfolio, including, but not limited to, the impact of the current interest rate environment and the related prepayment risk, and review credit ratings. The overall mix of debt securities at September 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, remains relatively unchanged and well positioned to provide a stable source of cash flow. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the duration of our debt investment securities portfolio, adjusting for calls when appropriate and consensus prepayment speeds, was 4.1 years. We are currently investing in longer duration debt securities, or those with call protection, to limit prepayment risk and to protect against falling rates.

Loans

We provide loans primarily to customers located within our geographic market area. Our primary market continues to be in Maine, making up 76% and 77% of the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Massachusetts and New Hampshire are our second and third largest markets that we serve, making up 13% and 6%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2019, compared to 10% and 7%, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Commercial Portfolio Mix	55		%	56		%
Retail Portfolio Mix	45		%	44		%

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we originated $384.1 million of residential mortgages, with 53% of these originations held in the portfolio, compared to residential mortgage originations of $361.6 million with 54% of the production held in the portfolio, for the same period last year.

The commercial real estate loan portfolio decreased $14.0 million, or 1%, since December 31, 2018, due to elevated prepayments. Commercial real estate loan activity continues to be steady within our markets. While we continue to actively review many of these commercial real estate opportunities, we remain disciplined in our lending as we focus on the long-term success, and preservation of net interest margin in the current interest rate environment.

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Assets. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, accruing TDRs, and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. The following table sets forth the make-up and amount of our non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:

Potential Problem Loans. Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were between 30 and 89 days past due. Such loans are characterized by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the credit quality of some of these loans may improve due to changes in collateral values or the financial condition of the borrowers, while the credit quality of other loans may deteriorate, resulting in a loss. These loans are not included in the above analysis of non-accrual loans. At September 30, 2019, potential problem loans amounted to $2.1 million, or 0.07% of total loans.

Past Due Loans. Past due loans consist of accruing loans that were between 30 and 89 days past due. The following table presents the recorded investment of past due loans at the date indicated:



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Accruing loans 30-89 days past due:

Accruing loans 30-89 days past due to total loans	0.19		%	0.29		%

Allowance for Loan Losses. We use a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient ALL. The ALL is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The ALL is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The following table sets forth information concerning the activity in the ALL for the periods indicated:



	At or For The Three Months Ended September 30,						At or For The Nine Months Ended September 30,						At or For The Year Ended December 31, 2018

Provision for loan losses (annualized) to average loans	0.09		%	0.05		%	0.12		%	0.04		%	0.03		%
ALL to total loans	0.83		%	0.81		%	0.83		%	0.81		%	0.82		%
ALL to non-performing loans	191.93		%	124.28		%	191.93		%	124.28		%	171.17		%

The determination of an appropriate level of ALL, and subsequent provision for loan losses which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio. During our analysis and review, many factors are considered including, but not limited to, loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALL, which includes an expanded risk rating system to assist us in identifying the risks being undertaken.

We believe the ALL of $25.7 million, or 0.83% of total loans and 191.93% of total non-performing loans, at September 30, 2019 was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio. However, if conditions deteriorate the provision will likely increase.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity.

Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits increased 4% since December 31, 2018, to $3.6 billion at September 30, 2019, led by checking account growth of 13% and CD growth of 22%, while savings and money market balances decreased 3%. In the second half of each year, the Company typically benefits from an increase in seasonal low-cost deposits, and, as a result, checking deposits grew 6% during the third quarter of 2019. The growth in CDs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to one large depositor shifting $70.0 million of funding from interest checking to CDs in the second quarter of 2019. The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 86% at September 30, 2019, compared to 87% at December 31, 2018.

Shareholders' Equity. On January 22, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 775,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 5.0% of our issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2018. The repurchase program will terminate upon the earlier of (i) reaching the authorized share repurchase amount, (ii) vote by the Board of Directors to terminate the plan, or (iii) one year. As of September 30, 2019, 404,213 shares of Company common stock were repurchased at an average price of $42.49 per share and 370,787 shares were available for repurchase.

The following table presents certain information regarding shareholders’ equity as of or for the periods indicated:

LIQUIDITY

Our liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy their varied liquidity demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits, borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources, cash flows from operations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities and the sale of mortgage loans.

Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, average deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $3.2 billion increased $397.7 million, or 14%, compared to the same period last year. Average core deposits¹ of $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, increased $375.0 million, or 16%, compared to the same period a year ago. Included within our average money market deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $70.2 million of deposits from the Bank's wealth management department, Camden National Wealth Management, which represent client funds. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Camden National Wealth Management.

Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings and advances from the FHLBB, we utilize brokered deposits, purchase federal funds, and sell securities under agreements to repurchase. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, average total borrowings (including brokered deposits) decreased $171.7 million, or 20%, to $682.8 million compared to the same period last year. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. Customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises. Through the Bank, we have available lines of credit with the FHLBB of $9.9 million, with a correspondent bank of $50.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $104.5 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank that matures on December 20, 2019.

We believe our investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, the wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that our current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements; however, changes in economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and the availability or access to the national brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

As part of our goal to operate a safe, sound and profitable financial organization, we are committed to maintaining a strong capital base. Shareholders’ equity totaled $471.7 million and $435.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which amounted to 10% of total assets as of the respective dates. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" for discussion regarding changes in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. We declared dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $13.9 million and $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company's Board of Directors approves cash dividends on a quarterly basis after careful analysis and consideration of various factors, including the following: (i) capital position relative to total assets, (ii) risk-based assets, (iii) total classified assets, (iv) economic conditions, (v) growth rates for total assets and total liabilities, (vi) earnings performance and projections and (vii) strategic initiatives and related capital requirements. All dividends declared and distributed by the Company have been and will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.

We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by the Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, are entitled to dividends, when and as declared by the Bank's Board of Directors from legally available funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Bank declared dividends payable to the Company in the amount of $29.4 million and $20.7 million, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, the Bank may not declare dividends in excess of the Bank’s net income for the current year plus its retained net income for the prior two years without prior approval from the OCC. If we are required to use dividends from the Bank to service unforeseen commitments in the future, we may be required to reduce the dividends paid to our shareholders going forward.

Our share repurchase program is an important part of our capital management strategy. As of September 30, 2019, we repurchased 404,213 shares of the Company's common stock at a weighted average price of $42.49 per share under the share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on January 22, 2019, which authorizes the purchase of up to 775,000 shares. As of September 30, 2019, 370,787 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. The repurchase program will terminate upon the earlier of (i) reaching the authorized share repurchase amount, (ii) vote by the Board of Directors to terminate the plan, or (iii) one year.

Please refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company and Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank continues to meet the capital requirements to be classified as "well capitalized" under applicable prompt corrective action provisions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Credit Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, we are entitled to underlying collateral, as applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate.

Derivatives. We use derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. We control the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of our normal mortgage origination process, we provide the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, we are subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, we may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a best-efforts basis, with certain approved investors. We account for interest rate lock commitments on loans that will be held for sale as derivative instruments. Furthermore, we record a derivative for our best-effort forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should we enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor, we account for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative upon execution of the mandatory delivery contract.

Hedge Instruments. From time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also enter into fixed-rate interest rate swaps and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If interest rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instrument. We may also enter into variable rate interest rate swaps and cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If interest rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swaps and cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased.

Refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details.

At September 30, 2019, we had the following levels of off-balance sheet financial instruments:



(In thousands)	Total Amount		Commitment Expires in:
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments	Committed		<1 Year		1 – 3 Years		3 – 5 Years		>5 Years
Commitments to extend credit	$	755,731	$	316,478	$	70,096	$	18,409	$	350,748

Total	$	1,807,567	$	391,546	$	95,309	$	199,644	$	1,121,068

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We are a party to several contractual obligations through lease agreements on a number of branches. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases. In conjunction with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, renewal options within the various lease contracts, as applicable, were considered to determine the lease term and estimate the contractual obligation and commitment for the Company's operating and finance leases. Furthermore, certain lease contracts of the Company contain language that subject its rent payment to variability, such as those tied to an index or change in an index. As a result, the future contractual obligation and commitment may materially differ from that estimated and disclosed within the table below. Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, the Company's estimated lease liability for its various operating and finance leases was reported within other liabilities on our consolidated statements of condition. Please refer to Notes 2 and 5 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of our leases.

We enter into agreements routinely as part of our normal business to manage deposits and borrowings.

At September 30, 2019, we had an obligation and commitment to make future payments under each of these contracts as follows:



(In thousands)	Total Amount		Payments Due per Period
Contractual obligations and commitments	Committed		<1 Year		1 – 3 Years		3 – 5 Years		>5 Years
Operating leases	$	17,073	$	1,403	$	2,575	$	2,465	$	10,630
Finance leases	2,835		174		348		348		1,965
FHLBB advances - other	10,000		10,000		—		—		—
Retail repurchase agreements	273,454		273,454		—		—		—
Junior subordinated debentures	44,331		—		—		—		44,331
Subordinated debentures	14,674		—		—		—		14,674
Other contractual obligations	1,336		1,336		—		—		—
Total	$	363,703	$	286,367	$	2,923	$	2,813	$	71,600

Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed and variable rate borrowings that are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one-to four-family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets.

We have an obligation and commitment to repay all short- and long-term borrowings. These commitments and borrowings and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s Board of Directors and management have identified significant risk categories which affect the Company. The risk categories include: credit; liquidity; market; interest rate; capital; operational and technology, including cybersecurity;

vendor and third party; people and compensation; compliance and legal; and strategic alignment and reputation. The Board of Directors has approved an Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") Policy that addresses each category of risk. The direct oversight and responsibility for the Company's risk management program has been delegated to the Company's Executive Vice President of Risk Management, who is a member of the Executive Committee and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to the Company's risk categories and risk management policies as described in Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Please refer to Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further details regarding the Company's risk management.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income, the primary component of our earnings. Board ALCO and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While Board ALCO and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, they also utilize additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our consolidated statements of condition, as well as for derivative financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one- and two-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. Although our policy specifies a downward shift of 200 basis points, this would result in negative rates as many deposit and funding rates are below 2.00%. During the last few years, our downward shift has been 100 basis points. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual change of rates and a “rate shock” have on earnings expectations. In the down 100 and 200 basis points scenario, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at 0.25%.

As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflected the following 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 ALCO simulation horizon.



	Estimated Changes In Net Interest Income
Rate Change from Year 1 — Base	September 30, 2019		September 30, 2018
Year 1
+200 basis points	(0.51	)%	0.68	%
-100 basis points	(0.51	)%	(0.98	)%
Year 2
+200 basis points	4.54	%	8.71	%
-100 basis points	(4.33	)%	(1.59	)%

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, among others, the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows. 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.

If rates remain at or near current levels, net interest income is projected to increase marginally as assets redeploy into higher yields while funding costs remain relatively unchanged. Beyond the first year, net interest income increases slightly. If rates decrease 100 basis points, net interest income is projected to trend slightly below current levels as funding cost reductions mitigate asset yield pressure. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to decrease as loans and

investment cash flow reprice into lower yields as prepayments increase while reduction in the cost of funds is exhausted. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly in the first year due to pressure on funding costs outpacing asset yields. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to increase as loan and investment yields continue to reprice/reset into higher yields and funding cost increases subside.

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge our interest rate risk position. The Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments. As of September 30, 2019, we had $43.0 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to the junior subordinated debentures, $100.0 million of notional interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to falling interest rates, and $416.1 million of notional interest rate swap agreements related to our commercial loan level derivative program with both our commercial customers and a corresponding swap dealer. The Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of these derivative instruments.

LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate for certain floating rate loans, deposits and borrowings, and off-balance sheet exposures of the Company. In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it will not compel panel banks to contribute to LIBOR after 2021. As such, we have begun an internal project that is focused on an orderly transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. The markets for alternative rates are developing. We will continue to assess the use of alternative rates, and expect to transition to alternative rates as the markets and best practices develop.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information required by this Item 3 is included in Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management."

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management conducted an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer), regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal quarter covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer) concluded that they believe the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that based on the information currently available the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as a whole.
