CAMDEN NATIONAL CORPORATION REPORTS A 16%
INCREASE IN 2015 CORE OPERATING EARNINGS

CAMDEN, Maine, February 4, 2016/PRNewswire/--Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; “Camden National” or the “Company”), a $3.7 billion bank holding company headquartered in Camden, Maine, reported a 16% increase in core operating earnings1 for the year ended December 31, 2015 over 2014 to $28.2 million and an 8% increase in core diluted earnings per share ("EPS")1 for 2015 over 2014 to $3.49 per share. Fourth quarter 2015 core operating earnings increased 26% to $7.7 million over fourth quarter 2014, while fourth quarter 2015 core diluted EPS decreased 5% to $0.78 per share compared to fourth quarter 2014, reflecting the issuance of 2.7 million common shares in connection with the acquisition of SBM Financial, Inc. (“SBM”), which was completed on October 16, 2015.

“We are extremely pleased that we reached two significant milestones in 2015 — the completion of the merger with SBM while at the same time achieving record core operating earnings," said Gregory A. Dufour, president and chief executive officer of the Company. “We reached new heights with total assets of $3.7 billion, loans of $2.5 billion and core deposits of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2015. As a combined organization with 64 banking centers and three lending offices, we are looking forward to the future with our franchise's newly expanded footprint in Southern Maine and Massachusetts.”

Dufour added, "In under eight months our team worked diligently to integrate the infrastructure of the two banks while always focusing on the customer and shareholder value. We never lost sight of our core business along the way, which speaks to our increase in core operating earnings for 2015 of 16% over 2014. The Company's core return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 10.15% and core return on average assets was 0.94%. This performance positions us to meet the long-term financial objectives we set when we announced the merger in March 2015, while also aligning with our five-year strategic plan.”

Net income, as presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"),
for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2015 was $21.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, each representing decreases compared to their respective period of 2014 due to one-time acquisition-related costs recorded in 2015. Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2015 were $2.60 per share and $0.17 per share, respectively, which reflects the lower GAAP net income and the issuance of 2.7 million shares of Company common stock in October 2015 as consideration for the SBM transaction.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Completed the acquisition of SBM on October 16, 2015 — total assets acquired (including goodwill and core deposit intangible assets generated) were $840.1 million, total loans acquired were $615.2 million, and total deposits acquired were $687.0 million (of which $497.4 million were core deposits)
Fourth quarter 2015 core operating earnings increased $1.6 million, or 26%, over fourth quarter 2014
Fourth quarter 2015 core diluted EPS decreased $0.04 per share, or 5%, compared to fourth quarter 2014 due to the dilution associated with issuance of 2.7 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2015 combined with the timing of cost savings associated with the SBM acquisition that will be fully achieved in the first quarter of 2016
Organic loan growth (excluding SBM acquired loans) for the fourth quarter 2015 was $44.8 million, or 10% annualized
Organic deposit growth (excluding SBM acquired deposits) for the fourth quarter 2015 was $32.6 million, or 6% annualized, led by core deposit growth of $75.2 million, or 21% annualized

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at December 31, 2015 reached $3.7 billion compared to $2.8 billion last year. The significant increase over the last year was due to the SBM acquisition with total assets acquired of $840.1 million and organic asset growth during the year of $80.0 million, or 3%. Our loan portfolio grew $102.4 million in 2015 when excluding SBM acquired loans and loans held for sale. Our commercial portfolio at December 31, 2015 totaled $1.3 billion, representing organic loan growth of 11% for the year, while our retail loan portfolio increased modestly by $4.7 million over the same period. The changes within our loan portfolio mix over the past year highlights our focus on business lending and ramp-up of our mortgage banking division. The Company's mortgage sales in 2015 totaled $61.2 million compared to $799,000 for 2014.

Total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) at December 31, 2015 reached $2.5 billion compared to $1.7 billion last year. The significant increase not only reflects the deposits acquired from SBM but, also, strong organic core deposit growth in 2015 of $117.3 million, or 8%. Total borrowings (including brokered deposits) decreased $22.8 million in 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, which includes $15.0 million of subordinated notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2015 associated with the closing of the SBM acquisition.

Our asset quality continues to remain strong with year-to-date net charge-offs to average loans of 0.10% in 2015 compared to 0.16% in 2014 and a 26 basis point decrease in non-performing loans to total loans to 0.93% compared to a year-ago. The annualized net charge-off ratio increased to 0.16% for the fourth quarter 2015 due to the resolution of non-performing loans.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Camden National Bank continue to maintain risk-based capital ratios in excess of the regulatory levels required for an institution to be considered “well capitalized”. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and Tier I leverage capital ratio was 12.98%, 11.58%, 10.42%, and 8.74%, respectively.

As part of the SBM acquisition, the Company acquired Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC"), which provides lending services to dentists, veterinarians, and optometrists across the United States. After an extensive analysis it was determined that at this time the capital and operational resources required to allow HPFC to reach its full potential did not align with our need to focus on ensuring we meet the profitability targets of the merger. Operations at HPFC will be discontinued during the first quarter of 2016. The Company will continue to earn revenues from HPFC's loan portfolio as it naturally runs off over the next five to ten years.

FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS

Core operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $7.7 million compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $7.0 million last quarter. Core diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.78 per share compared to $0.82 per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $0.93 per share last quarter. The dilution of core diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2015 reflects the issuance of 2.7 million shares to SBM shareholders as part of the acquisition.

Generally, revenues and expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased compared to prior quarters due to the acquisition of SBM in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total revenues (including net interest income and non-interest income) for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 37% over the fourth quarter of 2014 and 31% over the prior quarter, while total non-interest expenses (excluding acquisition-related costs) for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 39% over the fourth quarter of 2014 and 42% over the prior quarter.

The Company’s exposure to rising interest rate risk reduced significantly as of December 31, 2015 due to the level of floating rate loans acquired as part of the SBM acquisition, the reduction in borrowings resulting from the increase in our core deposit base (both organically and due to the SBM acquisition), and our continued use of back-to-back loan swaps.





Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 37% to $26.4 million over the fourth quarter of 2014 and 32% over the prior quarter. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.30%, which represents an increase over fourth quarter 2014 and prior quarter of 24 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively. The net interest margin lift was driven by an increase in the loan yields and the benefit of loan accretion income of $531,000 generated from the discount on SBM’s acquired loan portfolio and a $180,000 reduction of interest expense on certificates of deposit due to the amortization of the fair value mark on the acquired SBM time deposits. Excluding the impact of loan accretion income and the interest expense reduction on certificates of deposit, the Company’s fourth quarter 2015 net interest margin was 3.21%.

The provision for credit losses was $957,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015, representing an increase of $412,000 and $678,000 over the fourth quarter of 2014 and prior quarter, respectively. The increase reflects the timing of auction activity in the fourth quarter of 2015 on Camden National Bank's legacy non-performing loans.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $8.5 million, representing an increase of 36% and 29% over the fourth quarter of 2014 and prior quarter, respectively. Non-interest income growth was driven by increases in mortgage banking income, loan swap fees and additional service charges and fees from the acquired SBM deposit customers.

Core operating expenses (excluding one-time acquisition-related costs) for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $22.7 million, representing increases over the fourth quarter of 2014 and prior quarter of $6.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The increases reflect the incremental operating expenses associated with 55,000 new customers, 24 additional banking and loan centers and 168 new employees associated with the SBM transaction. The core operating expense to total average assets ratio was 0.64% for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 0.60% and 0.56% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and prior quarter, respectively.

FOURTH QUARTER DIVIDEND

The board of directors approved a dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on January 29, 2016, to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2016. This distribution represents an annualized dividend yield of 2.72%, based on the December 31, 2015 closing price of Camden National's common stock at $44.09 per share as reported by NASDAQ.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including certain plans, expectations, goals, projections and other statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and “intend” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include difficulties in achieving cost savings in connection with the recent acquisition of SBM or in achieving such cost savings within the expected time frame, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged, changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in in Camden National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Camden National does not have any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency, tangible equity to tangible assets, and core return ratios; core operating earnings; core diluted EPS; tangible book value per share; and tax-equivalent net interest income. 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 operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in this document or the Form 8-K related to this document, all of which can be found on Camden National's website at www.CamdenNational.com.

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.
