Camden National Corporation Reports 2014
Loan Growth of 12% and EPS Growth of 10%

CAMDEN, Maine, January 27, 2015/PRNewswire/--Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; “Camden National” or the “Company”), a $2.8 billion bank holding company headquartered in Camden, Maine, reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $6.1 million and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.82, representing a 38% increase in earnings and a 41% increase in EPS compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $24.6 million and EPS of $3.28, represents an 8% increase in earnings and a 10% increase in EPS compared to the year ended 2013. Camden National's return on equity and return on assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 10.37% and 0.92%, respectively.

“The past few years we have focused on several strategic initiatives to reshape our organization for the future to meet the needs of our customers and shareholders,” said Gregory A. Dufour, president and chief executive officer. “We've successfully executed large scale investments — including the acquisition of 14 branches in 2012, the divestiture of five branches in 2013, and the opening of a commercial loan production office in Manchester, New Hampshire in 2014 — while providing consistent earnings and EPS growth to our shareholders," added Dufour. "Loan growth of 12% in 2014 demonstrates our commitment to growing market share through expansion and hiring seasoned lenders."

Fourth Quarter 2014 Highlights
EPS Growth — Fourth quarter 2014 EPS increased $0.09 per share, or 12%, compared to adjusted1 EPS for the same period of 2013.
Dividend Increase — The Company declared an 11% increase in its fourth quarter 2014 dividend to $0.30 per share payable to shareholders in January 2015.
Continued Loan Growth Fourth quarter 2014 loan growth of $46.4 million capped-off strong loan growth for 2014 of 12%.
FAME Bank of the Year — The Company was named the "Financial Institution of the Year" for the fifth time in the past six years by the Finance Authority of Maine ("FAME"). This award is in recognition of our commitment to the business community and the economic development of Maine.

Balance Sheet
Total assets increased $186.0 million, or 7%, over last year to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2014. Loan growth of $192.2 million fueled the increase, led by the commercial real estate and commercial portfolios. The commercial real estate and commercial portfolios increased $99.6 million and $78.3 million, respectively, in 2014, while the retail portfolio saw more modest growth of $14.3 million over the same period.
The Company's loan growth is, in part, the return on our investment made in 2012 – acquiring 14 branches and approximately $300 million of deposits – providing us a larger presence in Maine's prominent markets. That investment was complemented by the hiring of several seasoned commercial and retail lenders, the opening of a loan production office in Manchester, New Hampshire, and deepening our credit underwriting and administration talent.
Total liabilities at December 31, 2014 were $2.5 billion, representing a $172.0 million, or 7%, increase from December 31, 2013. Core deposits (demand, interest checking, savings, and money market) increased $25.8 million, while brokered deposits and borrowings increased $118.4 million and $46.9 million, respectively, to support our loan growth.



_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1 "Adjusted" excludes (i) the operating results for the five Franklin County branches divested in the fourth quarter of 2013, including the gain recognized on the branch divestiture, (ii) the goodwill impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, and (iii) the branch acquisition and divestiture costs incurred in 2013. Please refer to "Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures".



Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Results
Net income and EPS for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $6.1 million and $0.82 per share increased $553,000, or 10%, and $0.09 per share, or 12%, respectively, compared to the adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the same period of 2013.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $19.3 million, representing a $949,000, or 5%, increase compared to adjusted net interest income for the same period last year. The increase was driven by average loan growth (excluding the five Franklin County branches) of $171.8 million, or 11%, and was partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease in net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis to 3.06%.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $6.2 million, representing a $331,000, or 6%, increase compared to adjusted non-interest income for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to $284,000 of income recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014 on loan interest rate swap transactions that enable our commercial customers to lock into a long-term fixed rate while providing us with the flexibility of a variable rate to manage our interest rate exposure.
Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $16.3 million, representing a $286,000, or 2%, increase compared to adjusted non-interest expense for the same period last year, primarily driven by increases in customer-facing and internal technology infrastructure of $205,000, personnel costs of $166,000, and marketing costs of $132,000, partially offset by lower foreclosure and collection costs of $183,000 as asset quality improved throughout 2014.

Fiscal Year 2014 Operating Results
Net income and EPS for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $24.6 million and $3.28 per share increased $994,000, or 4%, and $0.21 per share, or 7%, respectively, compared to the adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $76.3 million increased $2.1 million, or 3%, compared to adjusted net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase is driven by average loan growth (excluding the five Franklin County branches) of $136.4 million, or 9%, and is partially offset by a 9 basis points decrease in net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis to 3.11%.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $24.3 million decreased $166,000, or 1%, compared to adjusted non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was driven by: (i) a $1.1 million decrease in mortgage banking income due to minimal loan sales in 2014; and (ii) $334,000 less investment gains; partially offset by an increase in: (a) loan interest rate swap income of $480,000; (b) fiduciary income of $238,000; and (c) an increase in service charges and other fees on deposit accounts of $174,000 (excluding the five Franklin County branches).
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $62.4 million increased $331,000 compared to adjusted non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily driven by increases in personnel costs of $574,000, and customer-facing and internal technology infrastructure of $407,000, partially offset by a receivable write-down of $348,000 that occurred in 2013, and lower net occupancy costs of $221,000.




Asset Quality
Our asset quality metrics as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 continue to trend favorably compared to a year ago as:
Non-performing loans to total loans decreased 61 basis points to 1.19%.
Non-performing assets to total assets decreased 36 basis points to 0.82%.
Year-to-date net charge offs to average loans as of December 31, 2014 were 0.16%, representing a decrease of 6 basis points compared to the same period in 2013.
Loans 30-89 days past due to total loans at December 31, 2014 were 0.18%, representing a decrease of 20 basis points since December 31, 2013.
While asset quality improved compared to a year ago, the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $192,000, or 9%, compared to the same period last year primarily due to loan growth of 12%. The steady improvement in the Company's asset quality metrics reflects the modest improvement in Maine's economy throughout 2014 and continued resolution of foreclosure properties.

Dividends and Capital
The Company's board of directors approved an 11% dividend increase in the fourth quarter of 2014. A dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on January 30, 2015, will be issued to shareholders of record as of January 16, 2015. This distribution represents an annualized dividend yield of 3.01%, based on the December 31, 2014 closing price of Camden National's common stock at $39.84 per share as reported on NASDAQ.
The Company's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and Tier I leverage capital ratio was 15.16%, 13.97%, and 9.26%, respectively, at December 31, 2014. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Camden National Bank, exceeded the minimum total and Tier I risk-based capital ratios of 10% and 6%, respectively, and the minimum Tier I leverage capital ratio of 5% required by the Federal Reserve for an institution to be considered “well capitalized”.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including certain plans, expectations, 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,” “would,” “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 Camden National. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Camden National to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that might cause these differences include, but are not limited to, the following: 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 could lead to impairment in the value of securities in the Company's investment portfolio; changes in information technology that require increased capital spending; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; changes in tax, banking, securities and insurance laws and regulations including laws and regulations; and changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters. Additional factors that could also cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this press release, and Camden National does not promise and assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency ratio, tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, return on average tangible equity ratio, tangible book value per share, tax-equivalent net interest income, and normalized operating results. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors in understanding the Company's operating performance and trends and allow 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 financial measures, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found within this document.

Annualized Data
Certain returns, yields, and performance ratios are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full year or year-over-year amounts.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures
Efficiency Ratio. Camden National presents its efficiency ratio using non-GAAP information. The GAAP-based efficiency ratio is non-interest expense divided by net interest income plus non-interest income from the consolidated statements of income. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio excludes branch acquisition and divestiture costs and goodwill impairment from non-interest expense, excludes net gain on sale of securities and the gain on branch divestiture from non-interest income, and adds the tax-equivalent adjustment (assumed 35.0% tax rate) to net interest income. The following table provides a reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratio:

Normalized Operating Results, as adjusted. The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP operating results (as reported) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 to normalized operating results, adjusted for non-recurring events in 2013. The Company utilizes such analysis when comparing its three months and year ended December 31, 2014 operating results to the same periods in 2013 as it believes it provides a more meaningful representation of current year performance.

The following non-recurring events were excluded from GAAP operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 in the tables below: (i) operating results from the five Franklin County divested branches; (ii) a $2.7 million gain on the divestiture of the five Franklin County branches, (iii) a $2.8 million goodwill impairment on its trust and financial services business line, and (iv) costs associated with the acquisition and divestiture of branches for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 of $95,000 and $374,000, respectively.
