Asset Quality, Capital and Liquidity Remain
Strong
CAMDEN,
Maine, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Camden
National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; "Camden National" or the
"Company") today reported earnings for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2024. The Company reported
first quarter net income available to common shareholders of
$13.3 million and earnings per
diluted share ("EPS") of $0.91.
The Company continues to prioritize strong asset quality within
the portfolio, which allowed the Company to release $2.1 million in the provision for credit losses,
including a $910,000 recovery on the
sale of the Signature Bank corporate bond that the Company wrote
off in 2023. Excluding the sale of the Signature Bank corporate
bond, the Company reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the
first quarter of 2024 of $12.6
million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.86, each an increase of 1% over the fourth
quarter of 2023.
"We are pleased with our first quarter financial results,
demonstrating we can be nimble and take action to manage expenses,
while managing the dynamics of our balance sheet," said
Simon Griffiths, president and chief
executive officer of Camden National Corporation. "Our operating
results reflect our dedication to prudent risk management and the
benefits of a relationship banking approach, which have
allowed us to build a solid financial foundation. Our
confidence comes from our strategic plan centered around our strong
customer base and driving long-term profitable growth, stewarded by
a talented team across our organization."
FIRST QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
- Our return on average assets was 0.93%, and our adjusted return
on average assets (non-GAAP) was 0.88% for the first quarter of
2024.
- Our return on average equity was 10.77%, and adjusted return on
average equity (non-GAAP) was 10.19%, and on a non-GAAP basis, our
return on average tangible equity was 13.46% and adjusted return on
average tangible equity was 12.74%.
- Our asset quality continues to be very strong, highlighted by
loans 30-89 days past due of 0.05% of total loans and
non-performing assets of 0.13% of total assets.
- Our capital position remained strong with regulatory capital
ratios well in excess of required regulatory levels, and a common
equity ratio of 8.66% and a tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP)
of 7.12%.
- Uninsured and uncollateralized1 deposits were 14.8%
of total deposits and available liquidity sources were 2.1 times
uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of March 31, 2024, total assets
were $5.8 billion, an increase of 1%
since December 31, 2023.
Investments totaled $1.2 billion
on March 31, 2024, a decrease of 2%
since December 31, 2023. We continue
to redeploy monthly cash flows from the investment portfolio to
fund loan growth and maximize asset yield growth. The investment
portfolio represented 20% of total assets at March 31, 2024, compared to 21% of total assets
at December 31, 2023. As of
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the duration of the Company's
securities was 5.5 years and 5.7 years, respectively, and the
weighted-average life was 7.8 years at each date.
Loans totaled $4.1 billion on
March 31, 2024, an increase of 1%
since December 31, 2023, driven by
commercial real estate loan growth of 2%. In the first quarter of
2024, we sold 50% of our residential mortgages originated and our
residential real estate loans were slightly down from December 31, 2023. We continue to actively manage
and review our loan portfolio, particularly our commercial real
estate loans in light of the current macroenvironment and its
effects on commercial real estate. Our disciplined and consistent
underwriting of loans has served us well and there are no
significant signs of distress in our loan portfolio. On
March 31, 2024, loans 30-89 days past
due to total loans were 0.05% of total loans, compared to 0.12% at
December 31, 2023, and annualized net
charge-offs were 0.02% of average loans for the first quarter of
2024, compared to 0.03% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The
Company's allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans was 0.86% as
of March 31, 2024, compared to 0.90%
at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the ACL was 4.7 times total
non-performing loans, compared to 5.0 times at December 31, 2023.
Deposits totaled $4.6 billion on
March 31, 2024, a decrease of 1%
since December 31, 2023. Checking
account balances decreased 4% during the quarter, primarily due to
seasonality and our active rate management of a single higher-cost
deposit relationship of $72.0
million. From time to time, we move in and out of certain
higher-cost deposit relationships based on funding needs and to
optimize our funding costs.
As part of our effort to optimize funding costs and our interest
rate risk position, in the first quarter of 2024 we refinanced our
existing Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") loan of $135.0 million that was scheduled to mature in
May 2024 and increased our borrowings
in the BTFP to $225.0 million at a
fixed interest rate of 4.76% scheduled to mature in January 2025. The Company may exercise its right
to prepay the BTFP at any time without penalty.
As of March 31, 2024, the
Company's regulatory capital ratios were each well in excess of
regulatory capital requirements. The Company's common equity ratio
was 8.66%, and its tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) was
7.12%, compared to 8.66% and 7.11%, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized
dividend yield of 5.01%, based on the Company's closing share price
of $33.52, as reported by NASDAQ on
March 28, 2024 (the last trading day
of the first quarter of 2024), payable on April 30, 2024, to shareholders of record on
April 15, 2024.
In the first quarter of 2024, 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 2023 program. We did not repurchase
any shares of the Company's common stock during the first quarter
of 2024.
1 Uncollateralized deposits are customer
deposits for which the Company has not pledged any of its assets,
including investment securities, or provided any other type of
guarantee.
FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q1 2024 vs. Q4 2023)
Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $13.3 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 57%, compared to the fourth
quarter of 2023. Over the same period, adjusted net income
(non-GAAP) increased $143,000, and
adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) increased $0.01, each an increase of 1%.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was
$31.3 million, a decrease of
$1.4 million, compared to the fourth
quarter of 2023. The decline was driven by a decrease in net
interest margin of 10 basis points to 2.30% for the first quarter
of 2024. Funding costs increased 17 basis points to 2.27% for the
first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in average
non-interest checking and savings balances of 5% and 4%,
respectively.
Negative provision expense of $2.1
million was recorded for the first quarter of 2024 and was
driven by favorable asset quality and an improved macroeconomic
outlook, combined with modest loan growth during the quarter of
less than 1%. Also, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company
sold its Signature Bank corporate bond it had written-off in 2023
and recorded a partial recovery of $910,000.
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was
$10.3 million, an increase of
$4.3 million, or 72%, over the fourth
quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we executed on a
balance sheet repositioning strategy and sold certain investment
securities, which resulted in a $5.0
million pre-tax loss, with no corresponding investment gains
or losses in the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset
by a decrease in debit card income of $600,000 between periods, which was driven by the
recognition of our annual Visa incentive bonus in the fourth
quarter of 2023 that totaled $400,000.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was
$27.4 million, a decrease of
$484,000, or 2%, compared to the
fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we took
certain actions to maintain and manage costs in response to revenue
pressures from a decreasing net interest margin. Our GAAP
efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2024 was 65.78% and
non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 65.55%.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this press release that are not
statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, as amended, including certain plans, expectations, goals,
projections and other statements, which are subject to numerous
risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They often include words like
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or
future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should,"
"could" or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from expected results include increased
competitive pressures; inflation; ongoing competition in labor
markets and employee turnover; deterioration in the value of Camden
National's investment securities; changes in consumer spending and
savings habits; changes in the interest rate environment; changes
in general economic conditions; operational risks including, but
not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud, pandemics and
natural disasters; legislative and regulatory changes that
adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged;
turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry,
including failures or rumors of failures of other depository
institutions which could affect Camden National's ability to
attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of
financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or
raise capital; actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize
the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; changes
to regulatory capital requirements in response to recent
developments affecting the banking sector; changes in the
securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from
time to time in Camden National's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2023, as
updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Further, statements regarding the potential
effects of the war in Ukraine,
conflict in the Middle East and
other notable and global current events on the Company's business,
financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may
constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk
that the actual effects may differ, possible 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 the Company's control. Camden National does not have
any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States ("GAAP"),
management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP
financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted
earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted
return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; adjusted
pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity
and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and
tangible common equity ratios; tangible book value per share; core
deposits and average core deposits. Management utilizes these
non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our
performance against our peer group and other financial institutions
and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these
non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the
Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better
performance comparisons to other financial institutions. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of
unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying
performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute
for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to
non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other
financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP
financial measures can be found in this document.
ANNUALIZED DATA
Certain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on
an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and
decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance
trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts.
Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period
and is presented for illustrative purposes only.
