2 Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures 2 Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws, including certain plans, exceptions, goals, projections, and statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements typically can be identified by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “plan,” “target,” “potential” 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 are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult for Camden National Corporation (the “Company”) to predict. The actual results, performance or achievements of the Company may differ materially from what is reflected in such 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: (i) 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; (ii) changes in trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (iii) inflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations; (iv) ongoing competition in the labor markets and increased employee turnover; (v) the adequacy of succession planning for key executives or other personnel, and the Company’s ability to transition effectively to new members of the senior executive team; (vi) competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks; (vii) deterioration in the value of the Company’s investment securities; (viii) commercial real estate vacancies and their impact on the ability of borrowers to repay their loans; (ix) 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; (x) changes in information technology and other operational risks, including cybersecurity, that require increased capital spending; (xi) changes in consumer spending and savings habits; (xii) changes in tax, banking, securities and insurance laws and regulations; (xiii) the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings, including tax-related examinations and other matters; (xiv) changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; (xv) the effects of climate change on the Company and its customers, borrowers or service providers; (xvi) the effects of civil unrest, international hostilities, including the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East, or other geopolitical events; (xvii) the effects of epidemics and pandemics; (xviii) turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions, which could affect the ability of depository institutions, including Camden National, to attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or raise capital; (xix) actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; (xx) increases in deposit insurance assessments due to bank failures; (xxi) changes to regulatory capital requirements in response to recent developments affecting the banking sector; and (xxii) questions about the soundness of one or more financial institutions with which we do business. In addition, statements regarding the potential effects of notable national 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, 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 the Company's control. 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, 2023, as updated by the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You 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 presentation, 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. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also help investors better understand the Company’s operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. These measures are not a substitute for GAAP operating results and may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures used by other financial institutions. Schedules that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial information are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and earnings releases filed with the SEC.
