PR Newswire

CAMDEN, Maine, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; “Camden National” or the “Company”) today reported earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, of $22.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.33, both increases of 6%, when compared to the third quarter of 2025. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a return on average assets of 1.28%, a return on average equity of 13.01%, and a return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) of 19.06%.

“We are delighted to report record-breaking quarterly performance, powered by strong execution of our strategic initiatives and continued expansion of our net interest margin, reaching 3.29% for the fourth quarter,” said Simon Griffiths, president and chief executive officer of Camden National Corporation. “Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong and credit metrics continue to trend favorably. I extend my sincere thanks to our colleagues, whose dedication to our customers and communities has positioned us for an outstanding 2026 and an even brighter future. We are more confident than ever in our strategy to build the premier community bank in Northern New England, and our strong 2025 financial results provide a powerful foundation for the growth and opportunities ahead.”

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $65.2 million and diluted EPS of $3.84, increases of 23% and 6%, respectively, over the year ended December 31, 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $74.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $4.39, increases of 39% and 20%, respectively, over the year ended December 31, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net income totaled $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 6% over the third quarter of 2025, and, on a non-GAAP basis, pre-tax, pre-provision income increased 6% over the same period to $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 13 basis points over the third quarter of 2025 to 3.29%, and core net interest margin increased 10 basis points over the same period to 2.92%.
  • GAAP efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 54.16%, while the non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 51.69%, reflecting our strong revenue momentum and our continued disciplined expense management.
  • Book value per share increased 3% from September 30, 2025 to $41.16 as of December 31, 2025, and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased 4% during the same period to $29.69 at year-end.
  • On January 8, 2026, the Company announced a new share repurchase program for up to 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding stock as of December 31, 2025.

FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q4 2025 vs. Q3 2025)

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 5% over the third quarter of 2025 to $53.9 million. The increase was driven by a 13 basis point expansion in net interest margin to 3.29% for the fourth quarter. This notable margin improvement was fueled by an 11 basis point reduction in the Company’s funding costs during the quarter.

Provision expense totaled $3.0 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2025. The provision expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to net charge-offs of $3.2 million for the quarter, driven by a $3.0 million charge-off due to the short sale of a large commercial real estate loan that had been designated as a classified asset for nearly two years. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we were presented with the opportunity to exit this asset. After a thorough assessment, we determined exiting the asset was the most prudent and proactive step to limit potential future exposure and further strengthen the Company’s credit profile. The transaction closed late in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $14.1 million, remaining consistent with the third quarter of 2025. Assets under administration within our wealth and brokerage businesses grew organically by 11% during 2025, totaling $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized its annual Visa incentive bonus of $979,000 and higher customer loan swap fees of $366,000 on a linked-quarter basis.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $36.9 million, and our GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratios were 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively. Non-interest expense increased $933,000 on a linked-quarter basis as we recognized certain retirement plan costs for former Northway employees, higher performance incentive accruals due to strong annual Company financial performance, higher health insurance costs, and elevated technology-related costs primarily due to the timing of annual maintenance contracts and ongoing investments in our customer-facing technology platforms.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, total assets were $7.0 billion. Total assets grew 20% during 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Northway Financial, inc. (“Northway”) and its subsidiary Northway Bank, on January 2, 2025, which bolstered the Company’s presence in New Hampshire.

Investments totaled $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 2% since September 30, 2025. The duration of the bond investment portfolio at December 31, 2025 was 5.1 years.

As of December 31, 2025, loans totaled $5.0 billion, a 1% decrease from September 30, 2025, and for the year ended 2025, loans grew organically 2%. Commercial loan balances decreased $62.0 million during the fourth quarter, primarily due to the $35.9 million decrease in municipal loans. We continued to see strong momentum within our home equity loan portfolio, which grew 6% during the fourth quarter of 2025 and grew organically 18% for the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, our committed loan pipeline totaled $110.3 million, 60% higher than a year ago.

The Company’s asset quality remains strong as of December 31, 2025, supported by its healthy credit metrics, including non-performing assets at 0.10% of total assets and past-due loans at 0.16% of total loans. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans was 0.91% of total loans at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The ACL on loans was 6.4 times non-performing loans at December 31, 2025, compared to 5.5 times at September 30, 2025.

Deposits totaled $5.5 billion on December 31, 2025, an increase of 2% since September 30, 2025. The growth was driven by a 3% increase in non‑maturity deposits, reflecting continued growth in our high‑yield savings product and interest checking during the fourth quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 90%, compared to 93% at September 30, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.69%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 13.00%, a total risk-based ratio of 13.95%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.12%. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to rebuild following the Northway acquisition in the first quarter of 2025.

On December 16, 2025, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 3.87%, based on the Company’s closing share price of $43.38 as reported by NASDAQ on December 31, 2025, payable on January 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on January 15, 2026.

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, including as a result of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; 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; 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, 2024, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Further, statements regarding the potential effects of 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, 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. Statements relating to the Company’s acquisition of Northway may also be forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the reaction to the transaction of the Company’s customers, employees and counterparties; customer disintermediation; expected synergies, cost savings and other financial benefits of the transaction might not be realized within the expected timeframes or might be less than projected; and credit and interest rate risks associated with Camden’s and Northway’s respective businesses, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment and deposit practices. 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; core net interest margin; and tangible book value per share. 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.
