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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 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") and Property A, Inc. as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021). 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 months ended March 31, 2022, 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, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the unrealized losses on the Company's AFS debt securities have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell and it is not more-likely-than-not it will be required to sell any of the AFS debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and not reflective of credit events. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds.
11
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on AFS debt securities, was $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of the Company's AFS debt securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2022, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-related securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s HTM debt securities portfolio was made up of three investment grade municipal debt securities, of which two securities also carried credit enhancements. The HTM debt securities portfolio was comprised solely of high credit quality (rated AA or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. As a result, the Company determined that the expected credit loss on its HTM portfolio was immaterial, and therefore, an allowance was not carried on its HTM debt securities at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of the Company's HTM debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any interest income on non-accrual HTM debt securities. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on HTM debt securities, was $8,000 and $10,000, respectively, and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

The Company'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.
SBA PPP Loans. Beginning in April 2020, the Company originated SBA PPP loans issued to qualifying businesses as part of the federal stimulus packages issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program provided qualifying businesses a specialized, low-interest-rate loan by the U.S. Treasury Department and was administered by the SBA. The SBA PPP loan provided borrower guarantees for lenders, as well as loan forgiveness incentives for borrowers that utilized the loan proceeds to cover employee compensation-related business operating costs, as well as certain other costs up to pre-established limits. Effective May 31, 2021, the SBA PPP loan program ended and the Company ceased originating loans under this program.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company originated 1,620 SBA PPP loans totaling $102.2 million to qualifying businesses across our markets in need of financial support due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these SBA PPP loans originated during the year ended December 31, 2021, 69 loans totaling $6.3 million remained outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company originated 3,034 SBA PPP loans totaling $244.8 million. Of these SBA PPP loans originated during the year ended December 31, 2020, 12 loans totaling $16,000 remain outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
14
Related Party Loans. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies was less than 5% of the Company's shareholders' equity.
Loan Sales
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company sold $46.6 million and $192.6 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $1.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had certain residential mortgage loans with a principal balance of $6.8 million and $5.8 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, recorded an unrealized (loss) gain of ($113,000) and $29,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income of $142,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.
The Company has forward delivery commitments with a secondary market investor on each of its loans held for sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's forward delivery commitments.
ACL on Loans
The Company manages its loan portfolio proactively to effectively identify problem credits and assess trends early, 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. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through the following governance structure:
•The Credit Risk and Special Assets team and the Credit Risk Policy Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking, oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, and maintain the integrity of the loan rating system.
•The adequacy of the ACL is overseen by the Management Provision Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various Company executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking. The Management Provision Committee supports the oversight efforts of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
•The Directors' Credit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews large credit exposures, monitors 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, and concentration levels.
•The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approval authority and oversight responsibility for the ACL adequacy and methodology.
Segmentation. For purposes of determining the ACL on loans, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's loan portfolio segments, as determined based on the unique risk characteristics of each, include the following:
Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner-Occupied. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are, in substance, all commercial real estate loans that are not categorized by the Company as owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Non-owner-occupied commercial estate loans are investment properties in which the primary source for repayment of the loan by the borrower is derived from rental income associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent refinancing of the property. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments
15
in real property that may include, but are not limited to, multi-family residential, commercial/retail office space, industrial/warehouse space, hotels, assisted living facilities and other specific use properties. Also included within the non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loan segment are construction projects until they are completed. 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. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.
Commercial Real Estate - Owner-Occupied. Generally, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are properties that are owned and operated by the borrower, and the primary source for repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower's business. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, commercial/retail office space, restaurants, educational and medical practice 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. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.
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.
SBA PPP. SBA PPP loans are unsecured, fully guaranteed commercial loans backed by the SBA, issued to qualifying small businesses as part of federal stimulus issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans made under the program have terms of two or five years and are to be used by the borrower to offset certain payroll and other operating costs, such as rent and utilities. The loan and accrued interest, or a portion thereof, are eligible for forgiveness by the SBA should the qualifying small business meet certain conditions. SBA PPP loans were originated under the guidance of the SBA, which has been subject to change. Effective May 31, 2021, the SBA PPP loan program ended and the Company ceased originating loans under this program.
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 residences, including for investment purposes.
Home Equity.Home equity loans and lines of credit are made to qualified individuals and are secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. Each home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. Each 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, as applicable. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

The ACL on loans decreased $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $31.8 million. The decrease in the ACL on loans was primarily within the commercial real estate - non-owner-occupied loan segment driven by the release of $1.9 million of reserves that had been established for certain hospitality-related loans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the identified elevated credit risk it presented to these loans. This was partially offset by provisions for loan losses provided for the commercial and residential real estate loan segments due to their strong loan growth for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of 11% and 7%, respectively.
Credit Concentrations
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 identify credit concentrations effectively, 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. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's total exposure to the lessors of nonresidential buildings' industry was 14% of total loans and 33% of total commercial real estate loans. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022.
Credit Quality Indicators
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 real estate - non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied, commercial and residential real estate portfolio segments 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 ACL on loans:
•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.
17
•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.
The Company periodically reassesses asset quality indicators to reflect appropriately 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.

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans
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 will 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, generally at least six months. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are generally 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 loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.
Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms is estimated to have been $46,000 and $76,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company's policy is to reverse previously recorded interest income when a loan is placed on non-accrual. As a result, the Company did not record any interest income on its non-accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. An immaterial amount of accrued interest on non-accrual loans was written-off during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, by reversing interest income. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total accrued interest receivable on loans, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on loans, was $8.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, and reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.
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 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 ACL for the dates indicated:

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no loans were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months for which the borrower subsequently defaulted.
In-Process Foreclosure Proceedings
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.2 million and $888,000, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in process.
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 $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Refer to Notes 3 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of securities pledged as collateral.
NOTE 5 – BORROWINGS

The Company's subordinated debentures were $44.3 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's subordinated debentures were comprised of two tranches of junior subordinated debentures. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.
NOTE 6 – 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 within interest on borrowings on the consolidated statements of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as collateral 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 transactions do not meet the criteria to be classified as sales, and are therefore considered secured borrowing
23
transactions 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 as of the dates indicated:

Certain counterparties monitor collateral, and may request additional collateral to be posted from time to time.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
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 Company's contractual off-balance sheet commitments as of the dates indicated:
(In thousands)

$

6,785
7,952
Total
$
895,760
$
842,485
The Company’s commitments to extend credit from its lending activities 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 commitments 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.
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.
The Company establishes an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures on its contractual off-balance sheet commitments, except those that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $3.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposure was presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.
24
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the provision (credit) for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $161,000 and ($102,000), respectively.
Legal Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened litigation, claims investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings. 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 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. Assessments of litigation exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the lawsuit involves class allegations. 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. Assessments of class action litigation, which is generally more complex than other types of litigation, are particularly difficult, especially in the early stages of the proceeding when it is not known whether a class will be certified or how a potential class, if certified, will be defined. As a result, the Company may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to every litigation matter it faces.
The Company did not have any material loss contingencies that were provided for and/or that are required to be disclosed as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s credit derivatives result from loan participation arrangements, and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate Contracts.The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments or the receipt of fixed rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate assets or liabilities or forecasted issuances of debt.
For derivatives designated, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently is reclassified into interest expense or interest income in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense or interest income as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities or assets. The Company estimates that an additional $256,000 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense and an additional $90,000 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income over the next 12 months.
25
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
Customer Loan Swaps.Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
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 intends to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative.
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 upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale.
Risk Participation Agreements. The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from participations in or out of interest rate swaps provided by or to external lenders as part of loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain lenders which participate in loans.

The table below presents the effect of the Company's derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of income for the periods indicated:
By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote.
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, the Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well- capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative position(s) and the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $5.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted cash collateral of $7.2 million and $30.7 million, respectively. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $5.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively.
NOTE 9 – BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING
The Company does not offset the carrying value for derivative instruments or repurchase agreements on the consolidated statements of condition. The Company nets 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 6 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 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These requirements apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.
Under the current requirements, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 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 1 equity in an amount above the minimum
30
risk-based capital requirements for "adequately capitalized" institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets, resulting in a requirement for the Company and the Bank effectively to maintain common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively. The Company and the Bank must maintain the capital conservation buffer to avoid restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses and to engage in share repurchases based on the amount of the shortfall and the institution's "eligible retained income" (that is, the greater of (i) net income for the preceding four quarters, net of distributions and associated tax effects not reflected in net income and (ii) average net income over the preceding four quarters).
The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the Bank's capital ratios met the requirements for it 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 March 31, 2022 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:
March 31, 2022

(1) “Minimum Regulatory Provisions to Be ‘Well Capitalized’” are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies.
In 2006 and 2008, the Company issued $43.0 million of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities. Although the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with applicable regulation, to include, subject to certain limits, the debentures within its calculation of risk-based capital. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier 1 and Tier 2 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 the impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

NOTE 12 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
A portion of the Company's non-interest income is derived from contracts with customers, and, as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance.
The Company has disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers into categories based on the nature of the revenue. The categorization of revenues from contracts with customers that are within the scope of ASC 606 closely aligns with the presentation of revenue categories presented within non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. The following table presents the revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606 for the periods indicated:

(2) Represents the assumed dilutive effect of unexercised and/or unvested stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and contingently issuable performance-based awards utilizing the treasury stock method.
(3) Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock, and, therefore, are considered anti-dilutive.
Non-vested 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 non-vested 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 non-vested 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 15 – 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 align more clearly 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
Trading Securities: The fair value of trading securities is reported using market quoted prices and has been classified as Level 1 as such securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments have been applied.
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.
Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined on an individual loan basis using quoted secondary market prices and is classified as Level 2.
Derivatives: The fair value of 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. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and was not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives, and, thus, the Company's interest rate swaps were classified as Level 2.
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 loan 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
35
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 is 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 Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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.
37
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 Loans: Expected credit losses on individually assessed loans deemed to be collateral dependent are valued based upon the lower of amortized cost of fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Management estimates 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.
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, goodwill and core deposit 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 ACL 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 credit 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. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any OREO properties.
Goodwill: 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, for which management believes it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.
Core Deposit Intangible Assets: The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized 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. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the three months ended March 31, 2022, that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
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 credit 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;
•ongoing competition in the labor markets and increased employee turnover;
•competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks;
•the effects of climate change on the Company and its customers, borrowers or service providers;
•the effects of civil unrest, international hostilities or other geopolitical events;
•deterioration in the value of the Company's investment securities;
•volatility in the securities markets that could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, impairment of goodwill, or the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs;
•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.
In addition, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's businesses and results of operations and financial conditions may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
•the continued effectiveness of our Pandemic Work Group;
•our continuing ability to staff our branches and keep our branches open;
•the continuing strength of our capital and liquidity positions;
•our continued ability to access sources of contingent liquidity; and
•the continuing strength of the asset quality in our lending portfolios;
41
These statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and the Company.
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, 2021, 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.

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, return on average tangible equity; the efficiency ratio; net interest income (fully-taxable equivalent); earnings before income taxes and provision; earnings before income taxes, provision, and SBA PPP loan income; total loans, excluding SBA PPP loans; ACL on loans to total loans, excluding SBA PPP loans; adjusted yield on interest-earning assets and adjusted net interest margin (fully-taxable equivalent); tangible book value per share; tangible common equity ratio; and core deposits and average core deposits. We utilize these non-GAAP financial measures 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 (a) tax effected amortization of core deposit intangible assets and (b) goodwill impairment, as necessary, to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and core deposit 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.

Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio represents an approximate measure of the cost required for the Company to generate a dollar of revenue. This is a common measure within the financial services industry and is a key ratio for evaluating Company performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense, adjusted for certain operating expenses, as necessary, to (ii) net interest income on a tax equivalent basis plus total non-interest income, adjusted for certain other income items, as necessary.

Net Interest Income (Fully-Taxable Equivalent). Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis is net interest income plus the taxes that would have been paid had tax-exempt securities been taxable. This number attempts to enhance the comparability of the performance of assets that have different tax liabilities. This is a common measure within the financial services industry and is used within the calculation of net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis.

Earnings before Income Taxes and Provision, and Earnings before Income Taxes, Provision and SBA PPP Loan Income. Earnings before income taxes and provision, and earnings before income taxes, provision and SBA PPP loan income are each a supplemental measure of operating earnings and performance. Earnings before income taxes and provision is calculated as net income before provision for credit losses and income tax expense, and earnings before income taxes, provision and SBA PPP loan income is calculated as net income before provision for credit losses, income tax expense and SBA PPP loan income. These supplemental measures have become more widely used by financial institutions as a measure of financial performance for comparability across financial institutions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision for credit losses, as well as the origination of SBA PPP loans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not a recurring and sustainable source of revenues for financial institutions.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) on Loans to Total Loans, excluding SBA PPP Loans. ACL on loans to total loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, is calculated as (i) ACL on loans, adjusted for the ACL allocated to SBA PPP loans, to (ii) total loans, adjusted to exclude SBA PPP loans. SBA PPP loans were provided to qualifying businesses as part of the federal government stimulus package issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans are fully-guaranteed by the SBA, and may even be forgiven in full or in part, and, thus, present little to no credit risk to the Company. By excluding the impact of the SBA PPP loans, the ratio attempts to be more comparable with prior periods and demonstrates the level of loan loss reserves established on the Company's loans originated as part of its ordinary operations and credit underwriting standards.

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 our 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 ACL, including the ACL on loans, off-balance sheet credit exposures and investments; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) accounting for defined benefit and postretirement plans.
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, 2021. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.
Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of accounting pronouncements issued but yet to be adopted and implemented.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Operating Results. Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $16.8 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 15%, compared to the first quarter of 2021, and diluted EPS decreased correspondingly $0.18, or 14%, to $1.13 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Earnings before income taxes and provision expense (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2022 was $20.0 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 12%, between periods, and earnings before income taxes, provision expense and SBA PPP loan income decreased $1.9 million, or 9%, between periods.
Revenues (defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $46.2 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2021.
•Mortgage banking income decreased $6.1 million between periods as total residential mortgage activity slowed considerably coming off of record highs the past two years as mortgage rates have risen in anticipation of sharp Federal Fund Rate hikes in 2022 to curb inflationary pressures, combined with aggressive local market competition and low housing inventories. The combination of these factors created a challenging environment to drive salable residential mortgage activity resulting in sold loan production for the first quarter of 2022 of 23%. For the first quarter of 2021, our strategy was to sell the majority of its residential mortgage production and was successfully able to do so at that time given the market conditions. For the first quarter of 2021, we sold 66% of our residential mortgage production.
•Net interest income increased $4.0 million between periods, partially offsetting the impact of lower mortgage banking income between periods. The increase was driven by strong average interest-earning asset growth over the course of the year of $562.5 million, or 12%. Average investments grew to $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2022, up 43% over the first quarter of 2021 as the Company deployed its excess liquidity built-up from strong deposit growth into investments. Average loan grew to $3.5 billion, up 7% over the first quarter of 2021.
A credit for credit losses (or "negative" provision expense) of $1.1 million was reported for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a $2.0 million credit for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021. While loan growth was strong for the first quarter of 2022 at 3% (or 4% excluding SBA PPP loans (non-GAAP)), the Company released $1.9 million of additional reserves that were previously established for certain commercial real estate loans that received COVID-19 modifications at the onset of the pandemic, which offset provisions that would have otherwise been established as a result of the loan growth. As of March 31, 2022, there were $3.2 million of additional reserves provided for COVID-19 modifications which the Company anticipates will be released over the coming quarters.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $26.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5%, over the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation-related expenses, which were 7% higher than in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was expected given the effect of normal merit cycles during this period, as well an off-cycle merit increase to address inflationary pressures for our employees and the competitive labor market which became effective in October 2021. We offset a portion of the impact of increasing wages by suspending the Company's profit sharing contribution to employees' 401(k) accounts, effective January 1, 2022.

Asset Quality. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's asset quality metrics remained very strong with non-performing assets of 0.12% of total assets and loans 30-89 days past due of 0.04% of total loans. In comparison, at December 31, 2021, non-performing assets were 0.13% of total assets, and loans 30-89 days past due were 0.04% of total loans.
Capital Position. A decrease in the market value of the AFS investment portfolio due to the sharp rise in interest rates during the first quarter of 2022 drove a decrease in shareholders' equity for the period, and, correspondingly, a decrease in capital ratios, including: (1) shareholders' equity to total assets position decreased 94 basis points during the quarter to 8.90% and tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) decreased 97 basis points to 7.25% at March 31, 2022; and (2) book value per share decreased 11% to $32.72 and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) decreased 13% to $26.16 at March 31, 2022. Despite the decrease in these ratios, the Company's capital position remains strong as evidenced by each of our regulatory capital ratios being well in excess of regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a new share repurchase program for up to 750,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the Company's shares outstanding. This share repurchase program replaces the program that terminated in January 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 13,086 shares at a weighted-average price of $46.51 per share.
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, adjusted for 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, which is defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net interest income was 79% of total revenues, compared to 68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. 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.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP) was $35.6 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 12%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase between periods was driven by a $3.4 million, or 10%, increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis and a decrease in interest expense of $531,000, or 18%.
•The increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was driven by average interest-earning asset growth of $562.5 million, or 12%, between periods, which included average loan growth of $213.6 million, or 7%, and average investments growth of $459.7 million, or 43%. Our average loan growth between periods was concentrated in: (1) residential real estate, which grew $264.3 million, or 24%, as, beginning in the second quarter of 2021, the Company strategically shifted to hold more of its residential mortgage activity within its loan portfolio, and (2) commercial real estate, which grew $106.5 million, or 8%, offsetting (3) decreasing average SBA PPP loan balances of $133.2 million as borrowers take advantage of loan forgiveness.
Average loan growth between periods offset the impact of lower asset yields for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of 3.07%, compared to 3.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in asset yields between periods reflects the low interest rate environment as new assets fund and existing assets reprice.
49
Excluding SBA PPP loans, average loan balances grew 11% between periods and interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis increased $4.3 million, or 13%.
•The decrease in interest expense was driven by a decrease in funding costs of 8 basis points between periods to 0.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Over the period, average deposits grew $609.7 million, or 16%, while average borrowings decreased $93.6 million, or 18%. This change in funding mix, along with the ability to lower interest rates on more interest-rate sensitive products, such as money markets, CDs and brokered deposits, drove the decrease in funding costs between periods.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was 2.87%, a decrease of 1 basis point compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. For the same period, the adjusted net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which excludes the impact of SBA PPP loans and excess cash, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was 2.84%, compared to 2.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a negative provision for credit losses on loans was recorded, as $1.9 million of additional reserves that were established on certain loans in response to COVID-19 modifications due to their heightened credit risk were released, which more than offset the provision expense that would have otherwise been required on $102.7 million, or 3%, loan growth during the quarter.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a release of provision for loan losses of $1.9 million was recorded, which reflected the Company's overall asset quality strength at that time and an improvement in its macroeconomic outlook over its four quarter forecast period within its CECL model.
Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, were 0.03% of average loans for both periods.

(1) Mortgage banking income, net: The decrease in mortgage banking income, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was driven by a decrease in residential mortgage sales to the secondary market between periods. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold $46.6 million, or 23%, of its residential mortgage production, compared to $192.6 million, or 66%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Residential mortgage activity was very strong in the first quarter of 2021 as mortgage interest rates were near record lows driving both purchase and refinance activity and the Company's strategy was to sell the majority of its production at that time. In the first quarter of 2022, interest rates increased sharply as the market's interest rate expectations shifted driving higher residential mortgage interest. The combination of higher interest rates, strong local market competition, low housing inventory and a shift in strategy between periods drove a decrease in salable volume to the secondary market. The Company anticipates the majority of its residential mortgage production will be held in its loan portfolio over coming quarters.

(1) Salaries and employee benefits: The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended March 2021 was driven by higher salary costs of 11% due to normal merit cycles and an off-cycle merit increase in October 2021 to address inflationary pressures for our employees and the competitive labor market. Higher salary costs were partially offset by suspending the discretionary profit sharing plan for employees, effective January 1, 2022.
(2) Other expenses: The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by a one-time prepayment penalty of $514,000 upon the termination of a long-term FHLBB borrowing.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022, were $139.4 million, compared to $220.6 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents' balances of $81.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by loan growth of $102.7 million, or 3%, over this same period We continually monitor our cash levels as part of our liquidity risk management practices.
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 returns without undue risk. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s investment portfolio generally consists of MBS, CMO, municipal and corporate debt securities, FHLBB and FRB common stock, and mutual funds held in a rabbi trust for its executive and director nonqualified retirement plans. We designate our debt securities as AFS or HTM based on our intent and investment strategy and are carried at fair value or amortized cost, respectively, our FHLBB and FRB common stock is carried at cost, and our mutual funds are designated as trading securities and are carried at fair value.
At March 31, 2022, the Company's investments portfolio totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of $86.1 million, or 6%, since December 31, 2021. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was driven by changes within our AFS debt securities portfolio, including:
•Purchases of $77.9 million of debt securities to offset anticipated quarterly cash flows. The weighted-average life of investments purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was 5.5 years,
•Partially offsetting the purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were (i) paydowns and calls of $69.6 million and (ii) a net decrease in the fair value of the AFS debt securities portfolio of $92.8 million as interest rates rose sharply during the first quarter of 2022 in anticipation of a tightening economic policy to curb inflationary pressures. As a result, the 10-year Treasury increased 80 basis points during the first quarter of 2022 to 2.32% at
54
March 31, 2022, causing bond prices to fall. The change in market interest rates was the primary driver of the increase in the weighted average life of our debt securities portfolio from 5.9 years at December 31, 2021 to 6.4 years at March 31, 2022.
Our debt securities designated as AFS, which comprised 99% of our investment portfolio at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were carried at fair value using level 2 valuation techniques. Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details on fair value. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments were 27% and 28% of total assets, respectively.
The AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio has limited credit risk due to its composition, which includes highly-rated debt securities by nationally recognized rating agencies, and securities backed by the U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these investments represented 92% of the investment portfolio. The majority of the municipal bonds, which represented 8% of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, had a credit rating of "AA" or higher.
Other investments on the consolidated statements of condition consist of FHLBB and FRB common stock. These investments are carried at cost. We are required to maintain a certain level of investment in FHLBB stock based on our level of FHLBB advances, and maintain a certain level of investment in FRB common stock based on the Bank's capital levels. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investment in FHLBB stock totaled $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and our investment in FRB stock was $5.4 million at each date.
Investments in mutual funds are designated as trading securities and carried at fair value. These investments are held within a rabbi trust and will be used for future payments associated with the Company’s Executive and Director Deferred Compensation Plan. These investments are carried at fair value using level 1 valuation techniques. Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details on fair value.
AFS debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position are assessed to determine if an allowance should be recorded or if a write-down is required. We did not record any allowances or write-down any of our AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As noted above, the unrealized losses within our AFS debt securities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were driven by changes in the interest rate environment and were not credit-related.
HTM debt securities are assessed to determine if an allowance should be recorded or if a write-down is required. We did not record any allowances or write-down any of our HTM debt securities as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
We continually 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 March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, remains relatively unchanged and the Company expects it will continue to be well positioned to provide a stable source of cash flow. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the duration of our debt investment securities portfolio, adjusting for calls when appropriate and consensus prepayment speeds, was 5.5 years and 4.8 years, respectively.
Loans
The Company provides loans primarily to customers located within our geographic market area. Our primary market continues to be Maine, making up 71% and 72% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Massachusetts and New Hampshire are our second and third largest markets that we serve, making up 14% and 9%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our distribution channels include 57 branches within Maine, a residential mortgage lending office in Massachusetts, a branch and commercial loan production office in New Hampshire, and online residential mortgage and small commercial loan platforms.

The Company's loan growth for the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by residential real estate loan growth and commercial loan growth. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company held 77% of its funded residential mortgage production, compared to 67% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in the percentage of residential mortgages held within the loan portfolio, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, is the result of local market interest rates not keeping pace with secondary market expectations as local competition is strong, combined with a housing inventory shortage and slower refinance activity. The Company anticipates that this trend will continue and it will hold the majority of its residential mortgage production within its loan portfolio over the coming quarters. The Company's commercial loan growth for the first quarter was driven primarily by small business loans, reflective of its recent build-out of a dedicated small business team.
Beginning in April 2020, the Company started funding SBA PPP loans issued to qualifying small businesses as part of the federal stimulus package issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective May 2021, the SBA PPP loan program ended and the Company ceased originating loans under this program. The decrease in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by borrower loans being forgiven under the terms of the program. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $220,000 and $1.2 million of SBA PPP loan origination fees yet to be recognized, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2022, interest rates rose sharply in anticipation of the Federal Open Market Committee increasing the Federal Funds interest rate this year in an effort to curb widespread inflationary pressures. In doing so, there is a high likelihood the economy will slow which may have an impact on overall loan demand and slow the Company's loan growth moving forward.
56
Asset Quality
Our practice is to manage the Company's loan portfolio proactively so that we are able to effectively identify problem credits and trends early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continually reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to monitor and manage credit risk throughout our loan portfolio. In light of the current environment, management is monitoring the impact of the following on our borrowers: (1) the impact of rising interest rates, (2) the continued impact of COVID-19, (3) widespread inflationary pressures across the value chain, and (4) challenges across the labor market.
Management of the Company's credit risk includes management and board-level oversight as follows:
•The Credit Risk and Special Assets team and the Credit Risk Policy Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking, oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, and maintain the integrity of the loan ratings system.
•The adequacy of the ACL is overseen by the Management Provision Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various Company executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking. The Management Provision Committee supports the oversight efforts of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
•The Directors Credit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews large credit exposures, monitors 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, and concentration levels.
•The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approval authority and oversight responsibility for the ACL adequacy and methodology.

Potential Problem Loans
Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were 30-89 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 March 31, 2022, loans classified as potential problem loans totaled $97,000.

ACL on Loans
There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The significant key assumptions used with the ACL on loans calculation at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the recorded ACL on loans was $31.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively, and represented our best estimate. The decrease in the ACL on loans between periods was primarily driven by the release of $1.9 million of additional reserves established for certain commercial real estate loans in response to COVID-19 modifications due to heightened credit risk. We had established certain metrics that needed to be met prior to the release of these additional reserves, and in the first quarter of 2022, the first tranche of these loans met all required metrics and the associated additional reserves were released. Refer to "—Results of Operations—Provision for Credit Losses—Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses" for further discussion of the drivers for change between periods.
As of March 31, 2022, there were $3.2 million of additional reserves provided for certain commercial loans within the Company's ACL on loans that are subject to release upon certain metrics being met, and it is anticipated the Company will release the majority of these reserves over the coming quarters. However, 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 allowance estimate to a higher risk of fluctuation between periods.
60
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 key assumptions and asset quality, and their effects on the Company's financial condition.
ACL on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The model uses the credit loss factors for each segment calculated within the ACL on loans model described above. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures as of March 31, 2022, was $3.4 million, compared to $3.2 million as of December 31, 2021.
The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. Increases (decreases) to the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures were presented within provision (credit) for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.
We may adjust our assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period to period. A future change to our assumptions will likely alter the level of allowance required and may have a material impact on future results of operations and financial condition.
Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Deposits
At March 31, 2022, deposits totaled $4.6 billion, a decrease of $32.2 million, or 1%, since December 31, 2021. The decrease in deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was driven by a decrease in brokered deposits as short-term borrowings and core deposits (non-GAAP) growth of 1% supplemented our funding needs.
The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 77% at March 31, 2022, compared to 74% at December 31, 2021.
Uninsured Deposits
Total deposits that exceed the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000 were $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has pledged assets as collateral covering certain deposits in the amount of $354.0 million and $347.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The portion of time deposits that exceed the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000, by time remaining until maturity, at March 31, 2022 was $60.7 million. At March 31, 2022, the Company does not have time deposits that are otherwise uninsured.
Borrowings
At March 31, 2022, total borrowings were $237.7 million, an increase of $26.1 million, or 12%, since December 31, 2021.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2022 totaled $482.4 million, compared to $541.3 million. The decrease in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by a decrease in AOCI of $69.7 million as the AFS debt securities portfolio valuation decreased in response to the share increase in interest rates during the first quarter of 2022. This resulted in a decrease in: (1) the common equity ratio of 94 basis points to 8.90% at March 31, 2022, (2) the tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) of 97 basis points to 7.25% at March 31, 2022, (3) book value per share of 11% to $32.72 at March 31, 2022, and (4) tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) of 13% to $26.16 at March 31, 2022. As discussed further in "—Investments," management believes the decrease in shareholders' equity is temporary and is not an indication of permanent losses. The Company and the Bank continue to be well-capitalized under the standards set by its regulators. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.
On March 29, 2022, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.40 per share, payable on April 29, 2022 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's annualized dividend yield was 3.40% based on Camden National's closing share price of $47.04, as reported by NASDAQ on March 31, 2022.
61
In January 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 13,086 shares at a weighted average price of $46.51 per share. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, another 101,507 shares of the Company's common stock were purchased at a weighted average price of $46.77 through April 28, 2022.

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 and monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits; borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources; cash flows from loans and investments; and cash flows from operations, including other contractual obligations and commitments.
We believe that our 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 brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly affect our liquidity position.
Deposits. Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total deposits, including brokered deposits, were $4.6 billion, which included money market deposits of $58.5 million and $60.4 million, respectively, from Camden National Wealth Management, which represent client funds. These funds fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Camden National Wealth Management. Time deposits are generally considered to be more interest rate sensitive than other deposits and, therefore, more likely to be withdrawn to obtain higher yields elsewhere if available.

Borrowings. 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. As of March 31, 2022, total borrowings were $282.0 million, compared to $255.9 million as of December 31, 2021. 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 $49.7 million as of March 31, 2022. We also believe we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market, and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan.

Loans. Contractual loan repayments also affect our liquidity position. Actual speed and timing of repayment may differ materially from contract terms due to prepayments or nonpayment. Specifically, in a rising interest rate environment prepayment speeds may slow, which then would decrease the pace in which we receive cash flow from loans. The Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio is also a significant source of contingent liquidity for the Company that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through the sale of loans on the secondary market, as needed. As of March 31, 2022, book value of $1.5 billion of qualifying loans were pledged as collateral.

(1) Scheduled repayments are reported in the maturity category in which payment is due. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less
(2) Commercial real estate loans includes non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied properties.
Additionally, we have active relationships with various secondary market investors that purchase residential mortgage loans we originate. In addition to managing our interest rate risk position and earnings through the sale of these loans, we are also able to manage our liquidity position through timely sales of residential mortgage loans to the secondary market.

Investments. We generally invest in amortizing MBS and CMO debt securities that return cash flow at an accelerated rate in comparison to other types of debt securities that are of a bullet structure. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's MBS and CMO debt securities portfolio totaled 90%, of the Company's investment portfolio. The investment portfolio is also a significant source of contingent liquidity for the Company that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through the sale of investments on the secondary market, if needed. As of March 31, 2022, $768.4 million of our AFS debt securities, or 54.0%, was not pledged as collateral.

(1) Expected contractual cash flows could differ as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
In a rising interest rate environment prepayment speeds may slow, which then would decrease the pace in which we receive cash flow from our investments.
Other Liquidity Requirements. Through the Company's normal course of business it generates cash flows from earnings and, while not contractual, it has a history of paying a quarterly cash dividend to its shareholders and repurchasing its shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported $16.8 million of net income, paid cash dividends of $5.9 million to shareholders and repurchased shares of its common stock for $542,000.
Also through its normal operations, the Company is party to several other contractual obligations not previously discussed, such as various lease agreements on a number of its branches. 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. At March 31, 2022, we had the following lease and other contractual obligations to make future payments under each of these contracts as follows:

The Company's estimated lease liability for its various operating and finance leases was reported within other liabilities on our consolidated statements of condition.
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. Many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon, and thus, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details.
We use derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. These contracts with our various counterparties may subject the Company to various cash flow requirements, which may include posting of cash as collateral (or other assets) for arrangements that the Company is in a liability position (i.e. “underwater”). Refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our derivatives and hedge instruments.

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 $482.5 million and $541.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which amounted to 9% and 10% of total assets, respectively. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" for discussion regarding the driver for the decrease in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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 $5.9 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank declared dividends payable to the Company in the amount of $8.1 million and $17.0 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.
Please refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.
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.
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased many of the risks we face, including our credit, operational, vendor and third party, and technology risks. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company formed the Pandemic Work Group in 2020 to develop and oversee the Company’s response. The Pandemic Work Group: (i) developed employee practices, policies and playbooks to address pandemic related issues; (ii) implemented monitoring of all federal, state and local actions, such as stay-at-home orders, masking mandates and others, so that the Company can comply with all legal requirements; (iii) completed risk assessments and proactive monitoring over critical vendors, along with enhanced cybersecurity monitoring and reporting; (iv) created ongoing assessment and monitoring over employee availability, safety, workloads and access to tools (including technology needed to work from home effectively); (v) oversaw the roll out of and continue to monitor the SBA PPP loan program and temporary loan relief programs; (vi) developed our branch network plan, including determination of which of our branches were to close in order to best allocate resources; (vii) developed a plan for, and oversaw the re-opening of our branches in June 2020, which included ensuring health and safety protocols and practices were in place for our employees and customers; and (viii) completed and implemented the Company's “return-to-office” strategy during the third quarter of 2021, which included certain employees returning to the office full-time, others through a hybrid model (i.e., work from home part-time and from one of the Company's physical locations part-time), and others working remotely full-time. The Company's Executive Committee re-assessed its use of a hybrid model for its employees during the first quarter of 2022 and, at this time, will continue to use such model and govern in accordance with the established policy. The Executive Committee will continue to monitor and assess the related policy and its practice periodically.
65
The Pandemic Work Group was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to oversee the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company and its employees. These areas of oversight included, but were not limited to, employee practices and assessment of employee availability, safety and workload. Members of the Pandemic Work Group include the Company’s executive team and other members of senior management. Throughout the pandemic, the Pandemic Work Group, through the Company's executive team, has reported to the Board of Directors on related matters to assist the Board of Directors with both its ongoing oversight of the Company’s response to COVID-19 as well as its management of all areas of risks the Company faces, which have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2022, the Pandemic Work Group is meeting periodically as needed based on facts and circumstances, and updates the Board of Directors accordingly.
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, 2021. Please refer to Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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 have resulted in negative rates as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, as many deposit and funding rates were below 2.00%. In this case, a downward shift of 100 basis points was the only down scenario performed. 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 scenarios, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at the lesser of current levels or 0.25%.
As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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.

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
66
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 over the next year. Asset cash flows reprice and replace into the current higher rate environment, more than offsetting the increases in funding costs, causing balance sheet spread to expand. If rates decrease 100 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease as loans and investment cash flow reprice lower, prepayments increase and the ability to reduce cost of funds is limited. In the second year, net interest income is projected to further decrease as asset yields continue to drop and the cost of funds reductions are exhausted. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly in the first year due to asset yield improvements lagging funding cost increases. In the second year, net interest income is projected to increase as loan and investment yields continue to reprice/reset into higher yields and funding cost increases lag.
Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use back-to-back loan swaps, 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. The Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies. Refer Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements 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. The administrator of LIBOR has announced that the publication of the most commonly used U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or will cease to be representative after June 30, 2023. The publication of all other LIBOR settings ceased to be provided or ceased to be representative as of December 31, 2021. As such, the Company has an internal project team that is focused on an orderly transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. The markets for alternative rates are developing. The Company will continue to assess the use of alternative rates, including SOFR, and expects to transition to alternative rates as the markets and best practices further develop. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has no LIBOR-based deposits.

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" and such information is incorporated into this Item 3 by reference.
68
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 Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer & Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal year. 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 Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer & Principal Financial and 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 SEC’s rules and forms. We intend to continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes to the disclosure controls and procedures to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
There was no change in our 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, our 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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are a number of factors that may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial results or stock price. Refer to “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for discussion of these risks.
