Current report
Net income for the first half of 2025 was $21.4 million, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2024, and diluted EPS was $1.26 and $1.72 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's operating results for the first six months were materially impacted by the acquisition of Northway Financial, Inc. (“Northway”), which closed on January 2, 2025. Further details on the Northway acquisition can be found in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.
Current report
For the majority of the first quarter of 2025, the Company operated two banking franchises— Camden National Bank and Northway Bank, which was Northway’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary. In mid-March 2025, we completed the full integration of Northway Bank’s employees, branches and information systems, and began to realize the associated expense synergies in the second quarter of 2025. As a result, the Company saw significant improvement in its second quarter financial results, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, highlighted by a 13% increase in adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income (non-GAAP) between periods. Total revenues (which is the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) increased 4% between periods, driven by increases in both net interest income and non-interest income, while non-interest expense, excluding merger and acquisition costs, decreased 2%. The combination of improvement in both total revenues and non-interest expense drove a favorable decrease in the Company’s GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratio on a linked-quarter basis to 60.37% and 55.47%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. We anticipate that the Company will realize its full cost benefits from the Northway acquisition in the third quarter of 2025.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred certain one-time costs in connection with the Northway acquisition, including (i) transaction-related costs of $8.9 million (pre-tax) and (ii) provision expense of $6.5 million for acquired non-PCD loans.
Current report
Adjusting for certain one-time transactions associated with the Northway acquisition, we reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $31.2 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $1.84 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 27% and 10%, respectively, over the same period of 2024. Included within our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $5.9 million of provision expense for one syndicated commercial loan. During the second quarter of 2025, the commercial borrower entered bankruptcy, and, as a result, we placed the $12.0 million commercial loan on non-accrual status and downgraded the loan to doubtful. We continue to work closely with the small bank group involved with this credit and currently anticipate the bankruptcy process to be resolved in the second half of 2025. Overall, the Company’s asset quality continues to be strong and we have not identified any systemic credit concerns across our loan portfolio.
Current report
The Company’s capital position at June 30, 2025 continues to be strong and to be well in excess of regulatory capital requirements. Following the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025, the Company’s capital continues to swiftly rebuild.
Current report
Net Interest Income (Fully-Taxable Equivalent) for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was $98.7 million, an increase of $34.9 million, or 55%, compared to the same period in 2024.
Current report
•Interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis increased $35.7 million, or 29%, between periods primarily driven by interest-earning assets yield expansion of 41 basis points to 4.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and increase in average earning assets of $1.0 billion, or 19%, due to the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025 (as described above).
Current report
•Interest expense increased $763,000, or 1%, primarily driven by the increase in average funding liabilities of $1.0 billion, or 20%, between periods due to the acquisition of Northway in the first quarter (as described above). Despite the significant increase in average funding liabilities between periods, the increase in interest expense between periods was muted due to the decrease in our average cost of funds of 36 basis points to 1.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in our average cost of funds between periods reflects the change in the interest rate environment and the addition of Northway’s low-cost deposit franchise with the acquisition on January 2, 2025.
Current report
Net Interest Margin (Fully-Taxable Equivalent) for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Our net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis increased 73 basis points over the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Refer to the discussion above for the drivers of the change between periods. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, which contributed $10.0 million to net interest income for the first half of 2025, the Company reported non-GAAP, core net interest margin of 2.69%, an increase of 37 basis points over the first half of 2024.

Current report
(1)Provision (credit) for loan losses: The Company recorded provision expense of $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a commercial borrower that entered bankruptcy during the second quarter of 2025, for which the Company reserved an additional $5.9 million to cover the expected loss in future quarters. As of June 30, 2025, the Company carried an allowance on this loan totaling $6.0 million, which covered 50% of the loan amount. The Company currently anticipates that this commercial loan will be fully resolved during the second half of 2025.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in provision for loan losses of $16.4 million over the same period of 2024 was primarily the result of: (i) the Northway acquisition on January 2, 2025, for which we designated 88% of the acquired loan portfolio as non-PCD and, as such, recorded an associated provision for credit losses on these loans (and established an associated ACL on loans) of $6.3 million, and (ii) the additional reserve required for the aforementioned commercial borrower that entered bankruptcy during the second quarter of 2025.
Current report
(1)The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, across these various income categories, compared to the same periods of 2024, was primarily the result of the Northway acquisition on January 2, 2025. As part of the acquisition the Company added approximately 50,000 customer accounts, 28,000 new debit card customers, and one BOLI policy, whereby the underlying investment is tied to the equity market and subject to normal market volatility.
Current report
(1)The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, across these various expense categories, compared to the same periods of 2024, was primarily the result of the Northway acquisition on January 2, 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company continued to optimize and achieve its targeted cost savings as a combined organization, primarily through the elimination of redundancies across its personnel, information systems, technologies and services. The Company anticipates its quarterly run-rate operating expenses to continue to improve during the second half of 2025 as the full-benefit of cost savings are realized.

Current report
From time to time, the Company participates in select commercial syndication loans alongside other financial institutions to diversify its commercial loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s syndicated loan portfolio consisted of seven and eight borrowers, respectively, across a range of industries, with total outstanding loan balances of $93.9 million and $102.4 million. As of each date, these balances represented 2% of the Company’s total loan portfolio and were shared national credits.
Current report
During the second quarter of 2025, one borrower, representing $12.0 million of the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2025, entered bankruptcy, and we placed this loan on non-accrual status and downgraded its risk rating from “passing” to “doubtful”. We anticipate the bankruptcy proceedings to be completed during the second half of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, there were no other indications of credit deterioration within the syndicated loan portfolio.

Previous report
On January 2, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Northway Financial, Inc. (“Northway”), the bank holding company of Northway Bank. In mid-March 2025, we successfully completed full information systems and branch integration of the two franchises into Camden National Bank. With the completion of the acquisition, we increased our presence in New Hampshire significantly with the addition of 17 branches and over 100 new employees. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has 73 branches across Maine and New Hampshire and more than 700 employees. Our total assets also increased to $7.0 billion as of March 31, 2025.
Previous report
The strategic merger of these two long-standing franchises in Northern New England provides significant benefit to our customers through expanded technology, infrastructure, products and services, and lending limits. For our shareholders, the merger provides for an increased presence in higher growth markets, greater access to future merger and acquisition opportunities through an expanded geography, increased scale through cost synergies, and the opportunity for future revenue synergies through product and service offerings.
Previous report
For the majority of the first quarter of 2025 as we worked to integrate systems and branches, we operated Camden national Bank as two franchises that required separate information systems and technologies, employees, and branding. After the full information systems and branch integration was completed in mid-March, we began to execute on the achievement of cost synergies. Because of this, we anticipate cost synergies will begin to materialize in the second quarter of 2025. As previously disclosed, we anticipate to achieve 35% cost savings of Northway’s legacy franchise, of which we anticipate realizing 75% of those savings during 2025 and 100% thereafter.
Previous report
Net income and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $7.3 million and $0.43, respectively, decreases of 50% and 57%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024. Our operating results for the first three months of 2025 were materially impacted by the acquisition of Northway as we (1) combined the financial results of the two companies, (2) incurred acquisition-related costs of $7.5 million (pre-tax), (3) revalued the Company’s legacy deferred tax assets to account for our new deferred tax rate as a combined entity that resulted in a one-time tax benefit of $2.4 million to net income, and (4) recorded a one-time provision expense of $6.5 million associated with the accounting for acquired non-PCD loans. Adjusting for certain one-time transactions associated with the acquisition, on a non-GAAP basis, we reported adjusted net income of $16.0 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.95, an increase of 28% and 10%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2024. Additional details on the acquisition and our accounting for the acquisition can be found in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.
Previous report
We continue to anticipate additional acquisition-related costs will be incurred over the coming quarters. In total, we have incurred $10.8 million of acquisition-related costs through March 31, 2025, including those incurred by Northway prior to closing of the acquisition and we estimate we will remain at or under the total estimated spend we initially reported of $13.5 million.
Previous report
The following table outlines key financial metrics for the periods indicated:
Previous report
(1)Provision (credit) for loan losses: The Company recorded provision expense of $8.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the Northway acquisition. Upon completing the acquisition on January 2, 2025, we designated 88% of the acquired loan portfolio as non-PCD and recorded an ACL on loans totaling $6.3 million for acquired non-PCD loans. As required for non-PCD loans, the establishment of the ACL on loans as of the acquisition date was charged to the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, for the first quarter of 2025, we recorded additional provision expense of $2.6 million to account for the macroeconomic uncertainty and the heightened risk of a recession as of March 31, 2025.
Previous report
The negative provision expense (i.e., credit for credit losses) of $1.2 million recorded for the first quarter of 2024 was driven by strong asset quality and an improved macroeconomic forecast.
Previous report
(1)Debit card income: The increase between periods of $367,000, or 13%, was driven by the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025. Through the acquisition, the Company added approximately 28,000 new debit card customers.
Previous report
(2)Service charges on deposit accounts: The increase between periods of $291,000, or 14%, was driven by the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025. Through the acquisition, the Company added approximately 50,000 customer accounts.
Previous report
(1)The increase between periods across these various expense categories was primarily the result of the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025. For the majority of the first quarter of 2025, we operated Camden National Bank as two separate and distinct franchises. In mid-March 2025, we completed the information systems and branch integrations, which allows us to begin to optimize the combined organization and obtain our previously communicated cost synergies, primarily through a reduced number of employees, elimination of redundant information systems, technologies and services, and the anticipated consolidation of certain locations. We anticipate these cost savings to begin to materialize in the second quarter of 2025, and we continue to target the realization of 75% of our estimated annual cost take-out of 35% of Northway’s historical annual costs for calendar year 2025.

ACL on Loans. As part of the acquisition of Northway, we designated those acquired loans with a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination as PCD. In total, we designated acquired loans with an unpaid principal balance of $103.0 million, or 12% of the acquired loans, as PCD. We established an ACL on these acquired loans of $3.1 million at acquisition date. All remaining acquired loans that were not designated as PCD were designated as non-PCD loans, and we established an ACL of $6.3 million on these loans at acquisition date with a corresponding charge to provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.

Previous wording
•Average interest-earning assets totaled $6.4 billion for the first quarter of 2025, which was an increase of $1.0 billion, or 19%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase between periods was largely due to the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025. Through the acquisition, we acquired (i) total loans, net of purchase accounting adjustments, of $772.6 million, (ii) total investments, net of purchase accounting adjustments of $230.0 million, and (iii) total cash of $48.3 million. Refer to Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for further details. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized net fair value mark accretion from our purchase accounting associated with the acquisition of Northway totaling $5.1 million within interest income, which was made up of $4.3 million of fair value mark accretion on loans and $831,000 of fair value mark accretion on investments. Additionally, between periods the Company’s interest-earning asset yield continued to improve organically and contributed to the increased net interest income as we continued to reinvest cash flows from lower yielding interest-earning assets into new loan originations and investments at higher interest rates.

•Average funding liabilities totaled $6.2 billion for the first quarter of 2025, which was an increase of $1.0 billion, or 20%, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase between periods was largely due to the acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025. Through the acquisition, we acquired (i) total deposits, net of purchase accounting adjustments, of $971.7 million and (ii) assumed borrowings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, of $127.6 million. Despite the significant increase in average funding liabilities between periods, interest expense for the first quarter of 2025 increased just $627,000, or 2%, due to the decrease in our average cost of funds of 33 basis points to 1.94% for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in our average cost of funds between periods reflects the change in the interest rate environment. The Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 4.33%, which was 100 basis points lower than the same period of 2025. The other driver for the decrease in our average cost of funds between periods was the acquisition of Northway and the strength of its low-cost deposit franchise.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to income tax expense of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. In conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Northway on January 2, 2025, we reassessed the Company’s estimated normalized effective tax rate given the change in the apportionment of income across the states in which the Company primarily operates. We currently estimate the Company’s annualized effective tax rate is 20.6%. However, also upon completion of the Northway acquisition, the Company’s estimated deferred tax rate also changed, increasing from 21.5% to 22.8%, which resulted in a one-time revaluation of the Company’s legacy deferred tax assets and the recognition of a one-time tax benefit of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed its assessment of significant model inputs and assumptions within its discounted cash flow analysis used for estimating its ACL on loans and determined there were no material changes to the methodology. The significant key assumptions used with the ACL on loans calculation as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, included: (i) Company-specific macroeconomic factors (i.e., loss drivers), (ii) our forecast period and reversion speed, (iii) prepayment speeds, and (iv) various qualitative factors. In the first quarter the Company updated the company-specific macroeconomic factors, see Note 5 Loans for more detail on the changes.

ACL on Loans. There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on loans during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2025. The significant key assumptions used with the ACL on loans calculation as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, included: (i) Company-specific macroeconomic factors (i.e., loss drivers), (ii) our forecast period and reversion speed, (iii) prepayment speeds, and (iv) various qualitative factors.

As of March 31, 2025, the ACL on loans totaled $46.7 million, or 0.96% to total loans, compared to $35.7 million, or 0.87% of total loan as of December 31, 2024. Our ACL on loans estimate as of each date incorporated multiple forecasted economic scenarios and probability weighting of each scenario. Included within our ACL on loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was consideration for qualitative factors that may not be, or may not be completely, represented within the Company’s accounting model used to determine its ACL on loans. Each quarter, in conjunction with our quarterly close and financial reporting, we evaluate the need for these qualitative factors and make adjustments as appropriate, including consideration of macro- and micro-level changes. The ACL on loans as of March 31, 2025, incorporated a higher probability weighting for the forecasted likelihood of recession over the next 12 to 24 months, as compared to December 31, 2024. This resulted in an increase in our ACL on loans between periods of $2.6 million, or an increase of approximately 5 basis points to ACL on loans. The overall global and national markets continue to be volatile and carry a high degree of uncertainty, and any changes to our forecast or qualitative factors subject our ACL estimate to a higher risk of fluctuation between periods.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the recorded ACL on loans was $53.0 million, or 1.08% to total loans, and $35.7 million, or 0.87% of total loans, respectively, and represented our best estimate. Our ACL on loans estimate as of each date incorporated the ongoing risk of a recession over the next 12 to 24 months using multiple scenarios and probability weighting each scenario. The ACL on loans as of June 30, 2025 incorporated a higher weighting for the probability of a recession over the next 12 to 24 months based on management's forecasted macroeconomic outlook as of that date as compared to December 31, 2024. The overall global and national markets continue to be volatile and carry a high degree of uncertainty, and any changes to our forecast or qualitative factors subject our ACL estimate to a higher risk of fluctuation between periods.

We may adjust our assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period to period. A future change of our assumptions likely will alter the level of allowance required and may have a material impact on future results of operations and financial condition. The ACL on loans is reviewed periodically within a calendar quarter to assess trends in CECL ("Current Expected Credit Losses") key assumptions and asset quality, and their effects on the Company's financial condition.
