FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS (all comparisons to fourth quarter 2024, unless otherwise noted)

  • Signed a Definitive Merger Agreement to acquire Woodsville Guaranty Bancorp, Inc.

  • Net interest margin remains strong at 3.17%

  • 6% growth in assets under management by wealth management

  • 7% increase in dividend declared

Bar Harbor Bankshares' President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis C. Simard, stated, "Despite the volatility in the capital markets, our teams continue to demonstrate that exceptional customer service, continuous calling, and proactive modeling drive financial strength. Our commercial lending team delivered $50 million in new originations this quarter which offset some larger pay downs. And our responsible management of the balance sheet underscores our commitment to profitable growth, with a goal of maintaining a strong and stable margin. As a company we remain steadfast in delivering consistent total shareholder returns and are poised to weather the uncertain rate and economic environments.

This quarter we announced an agreement to acquire Guaranty Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank ("Woodsville"). Woodsville operates in markets similar to ours and is adjacent to our Northwestern New Hampshire and Vermont locations. Like us, they have deep community relationships with a loyal customer base and efficient deposits which will help fund future growth. This acquisition will continue to strengthen our presence in northern New England, complementing our existing branch network."

Mr. Simard concluded, "I am proud of the culture we have built at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. Our values foster a strong foundation built on opportunity and authenticity. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues who share a similar culture."

DIVIDEND DECLARED
The Board of Directors of the Company voted to declare an increase in the cash dividend to $0.32 per share from $0.30 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2025 payable on June 13, 2025. The dividend annualized yield increases from 3.92% at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 to 4.34% at the end of the first quarter 2025 based on the $29.50 closing share price of the Company's common stock on March 31, 2025, the last trading day of the first quarter 2025.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Quarter results for March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024)
Total assets remained stable at $4.1 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025 and the end of the fourth quarter 2024 primarily due to stable deposits offset by a shift in asset mix from loan and investments to cash driven by current quarter pay downs.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $88.1 million at the end of the first quarter 2025, compared to $72.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. Interest-earning deposits held with other banks increased to $54.3 million at the end of the first quarter 2025, compared to $37.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter and yielded 4.55% and 4.92%, respectively. The change in cash balances was driven by pay downs in loans and investments.

Total loans remained at $3.1 billion with a slight decrease of 3% on an annualized basis driven by seasonality and the interest rate environment. Commercial loans increased $2.9 million comprised of a $20.9 million increase in commercial real estate offset by a $17.9 million decrease in commercial and industrial. Residential real estate loans decreased $19.0 million.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock decreased to $10.7 million at the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $12.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 driven by $50 million in pay downs of borrowings.

Securities available for sale was $514.0 million compared to $521.0 million in the fourth quarter 2024 driven by pay downs of $28.3 million, net amortization of $283 thousand, and matured securities of $1.0 million, partially offset by $19.0 million in purchases. The average yield of the total securities portfolio for the first quarter 2025 was 3.80% compared to 3.69% for the previous quarter primarily due to the change in the profile of the yield curve and a shift from commercial lending obligation investments to agencies. Fair value adjustments were $57.2 million at the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $62.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. As of the end of the first quarter 2025 and fourth quarter 2024, respectively, our securities portfolio maintained an average life of eight and nine years with an effective duration of five years for both quarters and all securities remain classified as available for sale to provide flexibility in asset funding and other opportunities as they arise.

The allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities increased to $1.2 million at March 31, 2025, driven by one remaining corporate security with a book value of $8.0 million and unrealized losses of $1.8 million.

The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased $130 thousand to $28.6 million at the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $28.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans coverage ratio of 0.92% compared to 0.91% in the fourth quarter 2024. Strong asset quality metrics and general macroeconomic trends in the loan portfolio drive ACL levels. There were minor shifts in balances as commercial real estate increased and commercial and industrial and residential real estate decreased, but the main driver was a decrease in residential loans. Charge-offs and individually analyzed reserves on non-accruing loans continue to be nominal, supported by relatively strong collateral values.

Total deposits remained flat at $3.3 billion at the first quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter 2024 respectively. We witnessed a shift in deposit mix driven by the interest rate environment and expected seasonal outflows in the first quarter 2025 as non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $28.2 million to $547 million offset by an increase of $19.8 million in interest-bearing demand deposits. Time deposits increased 16% on an annualized basis to $863 million driven by the volatile economic rate environment as investors continue to seek a safe place with a competitive rate to house their money.

Senior borrowings decreased $50.0 million to $200.0 million driven by pay downs in investments and loans. FHLB borrowings decreased $48.9 million to $194.1 million at the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $243.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024.

The Company's book value per share was $30.51 as of the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $30.00 at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $22.47 at the end of the first quarter 2025, compared to $21.93 at the end of the fourth quarter 2024.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Quarter results for March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024)
The net interest margin remained stable at 3.17% in the first quarter 2025 compared to 3.14% in same respective quarter 2024. As loan balances grew $112.6 million year over year, the yield on loans grew 11 basis points to 5.42% in the first quarter 2025, up from 5.31% in the same quarter 2024. Costs of interest-bearing deposits grew 5 basis points to 2.31% from 2.26% in the first quarter 2024 driven by the continued competitive pricing within the interest rate environment.

Total interest and dividend income increased by 3.7% to $47.5 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $45.8 million in the prior year primarily driven by the repricing of commercial adjustable-rate loans and a $146 million higher loan balances within the commercial portfolio. Yields on earning assets grew to 5.16% compared to 5.10% in the first quarter 2024. The yield on commercial real estate loans grew to 5.58% in the first quarter 2025 from 5.47% in the first quarter 2024. Total loan yield growth was partially offset by a decline in the residential real estate yield from 4.22% to 4.09% for the first quarter 2025, and the commercial and industrial yield decline from 6.57% in the first quarter of 2024 to 6.34% in the first quarter 2025.

Total interest expense increased by 4.3% to $18.5 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter 2024 driven by an increase in cost of funds on deposits compounded with a $169.7 million increase in deposits. The growth in deposits was relatively even in mix with $84.2 million growth in non-maturity deposits and $85.6 million growth in time deposits. Interest-bearing demand accounts and savings accounts increased $41.2 million in 2025 compared to the same quarter 2024. Money Market accounts increased $40.0 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024. Borrowing costs decreased to $3.0 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $3.2 million from the first quarter 2024, driven by a $33.1 million in pay down offset by an increase in costs to 4.61% in the first quarter 2025 compared to 4.35% in the first quarter 2024.

The provision for credit losses on loans was a recapture of $57 thousand in first quarter 2025 compared to a provision of $289 thousand in the first quarter 2024 as credit quality continues to remain strong.

Non-interest income was $8.9 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $8.4 million in the same quarter 2024. Wealth management income grew 6.7% to $3.9 million compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter 2024. Non-brokerage assets under management grew 6.0% or $300 million to $2.8 billion from $2.5 billion in the first quarter 2025 compared to the previous year driven by higher security valuations. Mortgage banking income increased $199 thousand in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024 driven by higher gains on sale of loans. Customer derivative income increased $212 thousand in the first quarter 2025 driven by an increase in dollars and volume on customer swaps due to the interest rate environment. Increases were offset by a $186 thousand or 5% decrease in customer service fees driven by lower non-sufficient funds fees and interchange income.

Non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million to $24.7 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $23.5 million in the first quarter 2024 driven by a 4% increase or $485 thousand increase in salaries and benefits driven by cost of living increases and losses on sales of premises and equipment of $90 thousand in the current quarter driven by outdated ATMs. Acquisition, conversion expenses increased $219 thousand driven by merger agreement entered into in the first quarter of 2025 with Woodsville. Outside services increased $144 thousand driven by an increase in recruiting fees in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024. Professional services increased $192 thousand driven by consulting fees for technology infrastructure enhancements other projects.

Income tax expense was $2.5 million for the first quarter 2025 compared to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter 2025 was 20% and 19% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item which management excludes when computing non-GAAP core earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.

The Company also calculates core earnings per share based on its measure of core earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP core earnings and core earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.
