"We are very pleased with our year-to-date financial results, which include net income and diluted EPS growth of 24% over the same period last year, solid loan growth of 5%, deposit growth of 7% and strong overall asset quality across our portfolio.”

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported net income of $39.1 million and diluted EPS of $2.50, compared to $31.6 million and $2.02 for the same period last year, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company's return on average assets was 1.27%, return on average equity was 12.83% and efficiency ratio was 58.14%.

For the third quarter of 2018, the Company declared a $0.30 dividend per share, which represents a $0.07 per share, or 30%, increase over the third quarter of 2017, and a dividend yield of 2.76% as of September 28, 2018 (the last business day of the third quarter).

THIRD QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 of $14.1 million increased $2.7 million, or 24%, over the third quarter of 2017 and $1.8 million, or 15%, over last quarter.
Total revenues2 for the third quarter of 2018 of $40.8 million increased $1.4 million, or 3%, over the third quarter of 2017 and $1.8 million, or 5%, over last quarter.
Total loan growth for the third quarter of 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 6% on an annualized basis.
Average low-cost deposits3 for the third quarter of 2018 of $2.4 billion increased $237.7 million, or 11%, over the third quarter of 2017, and $84.5 million, or 4%, over last quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased 3% since December 31, 2017 to $4.2 billion at September 30, 2018, driven primarily by loan growth of $126.4 million, or 5%. Loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was led by residential mortgage growth of $83.1 million, or 10%, followed by commercial real estate loan growth of $52.0 million, or 4%, and an increase in consumer and home equity balances of $4.2 million, or 1%. At September 30, 2018, commercial loan balances decreased $12.9 million, or 3%, since December 31, 2017, largely due to the continued run-off of the Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC") loan portfolio, which has decreased $8.3 million since December 31, 2017.

The Company sold $167.6 million, or 46%, of its residential mortgage production originated for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $155.2 million sold, or 51%, for the same period last year.

Total deposits increased 7% since December 31, 2017 to $3.2 billion at September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, low-cost deposits were 67% of the Company's total funding, compared to 64% at December 31, 2017 and 62% at September 30, 2017. Since year end:
Demand deposits grew $85.5 million, or 18%.
Interest checking deposits grew $77.4 million, or 9%.
Brokered deposits increased $74.7 million, or 36%, as this option provided a more efficient source of short-term funding.

Total borrowings decreased 22% since December 31, 2017 to $479.5 million at September 30, 2018. The decrease in total borrowings was due to our strong deposit growth since year end and the use of brokered deposits to supplement other short-term borrowings.

At September 30, 2018, our loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 90%, compared to 93% at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017.

The Company's capital position at September 30, 2018 was well in excess of regulatory requirements, including a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.55% and a Tier I leverage ratio of 9.42%. At September 30, 2018, the Company's tangible common equity ratio1 was 7.78%.

OPERATING RESULTS (Third Quarter 2018 vs. Third Quarter 2017)

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $14.1 million, an increase of $2.7 million over the third quarter of 2017. Diluted EPS increased 25% over the same period to $0.90 for the third quarter of 2018.

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2018 decreased $2.2 million to $3.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, effective January 1, 2018.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $40.8 million, an increase of 3% over the same period last year. The increase was led by net interest income growth of $1.3 million, or 4%, to $30.4 million, while non-interest income increased 1% over the same period to $10.4 million.
Net interest income growth for the third quarter of 2018 over the same period last year was driven by average loan growth of $136.2 million, or 5%, and strong average deposit growth of $264.7 million, or 10%. As funding costs are on the rise, generating low-cost deposits continues to be a focus, highlighted by demand and interest checking average deposit growth of $204.4 million, or 17%, and average money market growth of $43.2 million, or 9%.
Net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis for the third quarter of 2018 decreased two basis points to 3.14% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis between periods was due to lower accretion income on acquired loans and time deposits, and the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, which lowered the tax-equivalent yield for certain loans and investments.
Non-interest income totaled $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2017. Most fee categories were higher for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, including debit card income, service charges, and other income, while mortgage banking income for the third quarter of 2018 decreased 15% over the same period.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2018 was $354,000, or 5 basis points of average loans for the quarter on an annualized basis, compared to $817,000 for the third quarter of 2017, or 12 basis points of average loans for the quarter on an annualized basis. The decrease in provision for credit losses was driven primarily by improvements in asset quality:
The non-performing loans to total loans ratio at September 30, 2018 was 0.65%, compared to 0.72% at September 30, 2017.
The third quarter 2018 annualized net charge-offs to average loans ratio was 0.07%, compared to 0.11% for the third quarter of 2017.
Criticized and classified loans decreased $15.4 million, or 23%, since September 30, 2017 to $52.4 million at September 30, 2018.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2018 was $23.2 million, compared to $21.8 million for the same period last year. The increase of $1.3 million, or 6%, between periods was driven primarily by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of 8% due to merit increases, ongoing wage inflation and strategic hires. Our efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2018 was 57.33% compared to 55.72% for the third quarter of 2017.

OPERATING RESULTS (Linked Quarter)

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 increased $1.8 million, or 15%, and diluted EPS increased $0.12, or 15%, compared to the previous quarter. The increase between periods was led by revenue growth of $1.8 million and a lower provision for credit losses of $629,000, but was partially offset by higher non-interest expense of $271,000.




Total revenue for the third quarter of 2018 increased 5% over last quarter due to net interest income growth of $942,000, or 3%, and an increase in non-interest income of $891,000, or 9%.
Net interest income growth for the third quarter of 2018 over last quarter was the result of average loan growth of $71.3 million, or 3%, and average deposit growth of $92.9 million, or 3%.
Net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2018 was 3.14%, compared to 3.10% last quarter, as the yield on average earnings assets increased seven basis points between quarters while our cost of funds increased four basis points. In the third quarter of 2018, we experienced our seasonal growth in low-cost deposits, which resulted in lowering borrowing levels.
Non-interest income increased $891,000 in the third quarter of 2018 compared to last quarter due to an increase in investment security gains of $633,000, an increase in mortgage banking income of $149,000 and an increase in loan swap fee income of $108,000.

The provision for credit losses decreased $629,000 for the third quarter of 2018 compared to last quarter. The loan portfolio saw favorable migration in the third quarter of 2018 as criticized and classified loans decreased $4.6 million between quarters, and our non-performing loans to total loans ratio decreased four basis points between quarters.

Non-interest expense increased 1% between quarters to $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2018. Salaries and employee benefits costs was the primary driver, increasing 3% between quarters, largely due to strategic hires, seasonal summer employees and an increase in incentive compensation, reflective of our strong year-to-date performance.

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, as amended, 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 increased competitive pressures; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud and natural disasters; 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, 2017, 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 with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; and tangible book value per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. 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.

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. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period, and are presented for illustrative purposes only.
