NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Accounting Standards Adopted

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards in the first quarter of 20182019, and such standards have been accounted for and presented within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 as follows:

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09") and ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"): In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 followed by the issuance of ASU 2015-14 in August 2015, to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified-retrospective transition method. As part of its assessment, the Company concluded that the following material revenue streams were within the scope of ASU 2014-09: (i) service charges on deposit accounts; (ii) debit card interchange income; (iii) income from fiduciary services and (iv) investment program income. Through the Company's assessment, it was determined that there will be no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning shareholders' equity under the modified-retrospective transition method within the consolidated financial statements as there was no change in revenue recognition upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The details of the revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09 are as follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts: Deposit-related fees, include, but are not limited to, overdraft income, service charge income, and other fees generated by the depositor relationship with the Bank. For each depositor relationship, an agreement and related disclosures outline the terms of the contract between the depositor and the Bank, including the assessment of fees and fee structure for its various products. The contract is day-to-day and can be closed by the customer or the Bank at any time. As such, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of the transaction as the performance obligation has been met.

The Company presents its revenues earned on service charges on deposit accounts within (i) service charges on deposit accounts and (ii) other service charges and fees on the consolidated statements of income.

Debit card interchange income: The Bank has separate contracts with intermediaries and earns interchange revenue and incurs related expenses on debit card transactions of its deposit customers. Income earned and expenses incurred by the Bank are dependent on its depositors' debit card usage, including depositor spend, transaction type and merchant. The rates earned are determined by the intermediaries. The Company determined that while the contract for which revenues are directly earned is with the intermediary rather than the depositor, that the underlying contract with each depositor is required for the generation of debit card interchange income and it is the depositors' debit card usage that drives the revenues earned and related expenses incurred. The contract with the depositor is day-to-day and can be closed by the customer or the Bank at any time. As such, the Company recognized revenue at the time of the transaction as the performance obligation has been met.

The Company's debit card interchange revenue and related expenses are presented on a gross basis in accordance with ASU 2014-09 as clarified by ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations ("ASU 2016-08"), as it has control of the specified service prior to transfer to the depositor through the extension of credit.

The Bank pays to certain depositors cash rewards for debit card usage to promote usage and increase interchange revenue. As the consideration paid to its depositors is not for any separate or distinct service these costs are accounted for and presented as a reduction of debit card income upon adoption for periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company did not revise prior period presentation on its consolidated statements of income as the modified-retrospective transition method was used.

The Company presents its revenues earned on debit card income within debit card income and related expenses on debit card transactions within debit card expense on the consolidated statements of income.



Fiduciary services income: The Company, through the Bank's wealth management and trust services department, doing business as Camden National Wealth Management, earns fees for its investment management and related services for its clients. Fees earned for its services are largely dependent on assets under management as of the last day of the month and do not contain performance clauses. Should the contract be terminated by either party, fees for services are earned up to the effective date of contract termination. As such, fiduciary services income is earned and recognized daily.

The Company presents its revenues earned on fiduciary services within income from fiduciary services on the consolidated statements of income.

Investment program income: Under an investment program offered by the Bank, doing business as Camden Financial Consultant (“Program”), its clients are provided access to brokerage, advisory and insurance products offered through an unaffiliated third party, LPL Financial LLC1 ("LPL Financial"). Certain Bank employees are registered securities representatives and/or registered investment advisor representatives of LPL Financial who operate in such capacity under Camden Financial Consultants to provide clients with brokerage, investment advisory and insurance related services. The Bank receives a portion of the commissions and fees received by LPL Financial from the sale of investment products and investment advisory services in accordance with the terms of the contract between the two parties.

The revenues earned by the Bank are net of administrative expenses and the portion retained by LPL Financial. The Bank does not have control of the specified services provided to its clients under the Program by LPL Financial. Revenues earned from Program-related services are presented on the consolidated statements of income on a net basis in accordance with ASU 2014-09 as clarified by ASU 2016-08.

The Company presents its revenues earned from Program-related services within brokerage and insurance commissions on the consolidated statements of income.

ASU No. 2016-01, Income Statement - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"): In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide the users of financial statements with more useful information for decisions. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 and applied the provisions of the standard within its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which included:
The Company's equity investments are no longer designated and accounted for as AFS securities, with the change in fair value recognized within AOCI, net of tax. Instead, the change in fair value of equity investments with a readily determinable fair value are to be recognized within net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $35,000 for the change in fair value of its equity investments within other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The recognition for the change in fair value within net income was applied prospectively, and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018 for its equity investments to reclassify the unrealized gain, net of tax, of $198,000 previously recognized within AOCI to retained earnings.
The Company used the "exit price" notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes only. The Company previously used the "entry price" notion for purposes of measuring its loans held for investment for disclosure purposes only. The change in valuation methodology has been applied prospectively as it does not have a material effect on the comparability of the disclosure.
The Company no longer discloses the method or significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for its financial instruments measured at amortized cost on its consolidated statements of condition for which fair value is provided for disclosure purposes only.

1Securities are offered through LPL Financial, Member FINRA/SIPC. Camden Financial Consultants and the Bank are not registered broker/dealers and are not affiliated with LPL Financial. The investment products sold through LPL Financial are not insured by Bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). These products are not obligations of the Bank and are not endorsed, recommended or guaranteed by the Bank or any government agency. The value of the investment may fluctuate, the return on the investment is not guaranteed, and loss of principal is possible.


ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"): In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement by companies to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, as well as provide other guidance to improve consistency, transparency and usefulness. Prior to adoption, the Company presented all components of net periodic benefit costs within the salaries and employee benefits on the Company's consolidated statements of income. Upon adoption, the Company now presents the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the salaries and employee benefits line and all other components of net periodic cost within other expenses on its consolidated statements of income. The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively to prior periods represented on the Company's consolidated statements of income using the amounts previously disclosed within its prior year financial statements as a practical expedient.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"): In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to address eight specific cash flow presentation matters within the statement of cash flows and reduce diversity of presentation across companies. Of the eight specific cash flow presentation matters addressed by the standard, it is noted that one matter addressed is of relevance to the Company based on its current and past operations: proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies. The standard states that cash proceeds received from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities within statement of cash flows.

The Company adopted the standard for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and it has been applied within the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows using a retrospective transition method.

ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"):In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 to reduce the diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As such, the statement of cash flows should consider the changes in amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.

The Company adopted the standard for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and it has been applied within the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows using a retrospective transition method.

Accounting Standards Issued

The following are recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic(Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"):In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. CurrentPrior lease accounting doesdid not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early application is permitted. The Company will adopt under a modified-retrospective approach.

Upon adoption,Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, using the following practical expedients for transitional relief provided for within the subsequent issuance of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"):
An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is or contains leases.
An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases.
An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
An entity may elect to apply hindsight to leases that existed during the period from the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements until the effective date.


Modified retrospective transition method, which allows companies to apply ASU 2016-02 at the date of adoption and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.


In conjunction with the adoption of Topic 842, the Company made the following accounting policy elections:
For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a right-of-use asset or lease liability will increasenot be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition.
For non-real estate leased assets with individual undiscounted contractual cash flows of less than $500,000 over the reasonably certain term of the lease, a right-of-use asset or lease liability will not be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as the lease is considered immaterial to the Company's totalfinancial statements.

The Company has completed its assessment and implementation process for ASU 2016-02 and recorded operating and finance lease right-of-use assets of $12.1 million and lease liabilities of $12.3 million on the consolidated statements of condition within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on January 1, 2019. Because the modified-retrospective transition method was used, the Company did not revise prior period presentation on its consolidated statements of condition as its operating leases will be accounted for as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability; however, the Company does not anticipate that uponincome. The adoption of the ASU willdid not have a material effect on itsthe consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impactstatements, which included a cumulative-effect adjustment of adoption of this standard.



ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"): In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased and carried at a premium, by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date of the debt security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company will adopt on a modified retrospective basis with any necessary adjustments$254,000 to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment. While the Company continueson January 1, 2019. Refer to assess the impact of ASU 2017-08, it does not expect the ASU will have a material impact to its financial statements upon adoption.Note 5 for further details.

ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"): In August 2017, the FASBStandards Issued

The following are recently issued ASU 2017-12 to make certain specific improvements to hedge accounting to better align hedge accounting with risk management activities, eliminate the separate measurement and recording of hedge ineffectiveness, improve presentation and disclosure, and other simplifications. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All transition requirements and elections arepronouncements that have yet to be applied to existing hedging relationships upon adoption. Whileadopted by the Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2017-12, it does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.Company:

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): MeasurementMeasurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"):, updated by ASU No. 2018-19 - Codification improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to require timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach, whereby a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company will use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date, as applicable.

While the Company continues to prepare for the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, it recognizes thethat changes to itsthe consolidated financial statements upon adoption are imminent as the ASU requires:
A change in the Company's assessment of its ALL and allowance on unused commitments as it will transition from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, which may result in an increase in the ALL upon adoption and may negatively impact the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios.
May reduce the carrying value of the Company's HTM investment securities as it will require anAn allowance on the expected losses over the life of thesethe Company's HTM investment securities to be recorded upon adoption.adoption, which may reduce the carrying value of these securities.
Changes to the considerations when assessing AFS debt securities for OTTI, including (i) no longer considering the amount of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position and (ii) no longer considering the historical and implied volatility of a security and recoveries or declines in the fair value after the balance sheet date, as well as the presentation of OTTI as an allowance rather than a permanent write-down of the debt security.
Changes to the disclosure requirements to reflect the transition from an incurred loss methodology to an expected credit loss methodology, as well as certain disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables disaggregated by year of origination (or vintage).

TheIn 2015, the Company began its preparation for ASU 2016-13, understanding the significance of the standard and its potential impact to its consolidated financial statements and the financial industry. While the Company continues to assessreview, validate and refine its loss methodologies in accordance with ASU 2016-13, it has completed certain critical tasks and components as it prepares for adoption on January 1, 2020, such as the overall impact to its financial statements,assessment and atvalidation of critical data points. At this time, itthe Company does not have an estimated financial impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements.statements, but anticipates it will have an estimate of the financial impact in the second half of 2019. Any disclosure of an estimated financial impact made by the Company will be subject to various factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the economic outlook over the reasonable and supportable forecast period; (ii) changes in the make-up of the Company’s loan portfolio; and/or (iii) changes in the credit quality of individual loans or pools of loans within its portfolio upon adoption.


ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"):In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 was issued to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, in accordance with ASU 2017-04, a Company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.



NOTE 3 – EPS

Earnings per common share(1):
  
  
Basic EPS $0.82
 $0.65
Diluted EPS $0.82
 $0.64
(1) Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.
(2) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted shares and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method. Not included are the unvested LTIP awards as they have not met the performance criteria for the periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no anti-dilutive stock based awards that have been excluded from the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the average market price of the Company's common stock is greater than the exercise prices.

Nonvested 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 nonvested 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 nonvested 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.

(1)As of December 31, 2017, equity investments were classified as AFS investments. Effective January 1, 2018, these investments were reclassified to other investments on the consolidated statements of condition as they are no longer eligible to be classified as AFS upon adoption of ASU 2016-01. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

Net unrealized losses on AFS investments at March 31, 20182019 included in AOCI amounted to $20.26.9 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $5.51.9 million. Net unrealized losses on AFS investments at December 31, 20172018 included in AOCI amounted to $10.3$17.8 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $2.8$4.9 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the Company purchased debt investments of $50.1$26.7 million and $77.3$50.1 million, respectively, all of which were designated as AFS debt investments.



Impaired AFS and HTM Investments:
Management periodically reviews the Company’s AFS and HTM investments to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, and recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in


determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.
 
The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses on AFS and HTM investments that were in a continuous loss position at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, by length of time that an individual security in each category has been in a continuous loss position:

The Bank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include a mortgage loan production office in Massachusetts and two commercial loan production offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Company originates single family 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.

In the normal course of business, the Bank has made loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies, under terms that are consistent with the Company's lending policies and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, outstanding loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies was less than 5% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

The HPFC loan portfolio consists of niche commercial lending to the small business medical field, including dentists, optometrists and veterinarians across the U.S. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the success of the borrower's business. In 2016, the Company closed HPFC's operations and is no longer originating HPFC loans.



The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

There were no significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019.

The Board of Directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the 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, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. Credit Risk Administration and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the Board of Directors. The Company's practice is to proactively manage the portfolio such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and 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.

For purposes of determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, consumer and HPFC. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include:

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 residential properties.properties, including for investment purposes.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care 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. Loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

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.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The 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 includinginclude 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. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.



HPFC. Prior to the Company's closing of HPFC's operations in 2016, it provided commercial lending to dentists, optometrists and veterinarians, many of which were start-up companies. HPFC's loan portfolio consists of term loan obligations extended for the purpose of financing working capital and/or purchase of equipment. Collateral consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment. These loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower and the original terms range from seven to ten years.

(1)The provision (credit) for loan losses excludes any impact for the change in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. At March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and December 31, 2017,2018, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $16,000, $23,000 $9,000 and $20,000,$22,000, respectively.

The following reconciles the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and year ended December 31, 2017 (credit) provision for loan losses to the (credit) provision for credit losses as presented on the consolidated statementstatements of income:income for the periods indicated:

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 ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, 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 by the Company's Credit Risk Administration. As of March 31, 2018, the non-residential building operators' industry exposure was 11% of2019, the Company's total loan portfolioexposure to the lessors of nonresidential buildings' industry was 12% of total loans and 26%28% of the total commercial real estate portfolio.loans. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2018.2019.



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, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and HPFC loans 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 ALL:

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.
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.

Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect 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.

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 well-securedsecured 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 may 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. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are 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 a summary of non-accrual loans, which include TDRs, and loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

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 the 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 ALL as of the periods indicated:

NOTE 65REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSLEASES

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02, using the modified- retrospective method. As such, for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, leases are recognized, presented and disclosed in accordance with ASU 2016-02, while periods prior to the adoption date were not adjusted and are reported in accordance with ASC 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). Refer to Note 2 for further details.

The Company enters into noncancellable lease arrangements primarily for its office buildings and Bankbranches. Certain lease arrangements contain clauses requiring increasing rental payments over the lease term, which may be linked to an index (commonly the Consumer Price Index) or contractually stipulated. Many of these lease arrangements provide the Company with the option to renew the lease arrangement after the initial lease term. These options are included in determining the lease term used to establish the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise its renewal option. As most of the Company's leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is primarily used to determine the discount rate for purposes of measuring the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In connection with an acquisition, the Company assumed a lease arrangement between the acquiree and two of its employees. The lease is for a period of five years with an expiration date of December 1, 2019 with two consecutive five-year extension periods available at the option of the Company. The lease arrangement contains certain termination clauses whereby the Company has the right to terminate the lease arrangement should the employees be terminated and/or certain mortgage loan production metrics not be met over a consecutive 12 month period.

The following right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been reported within other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition for the period indicated:

NOTE 7 – 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 as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security 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 transaction does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction 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.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIESAND DERIVATIVES

Legal Contingencies 
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered bypending and threatened legal actions. Although the FRBCompany is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions, and based on the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can resultinformation currently available, management believes that the outcome of such actions, individually or in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, couldthe aggregate, will not have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company and BankReserves 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 requirefor legal claims only when losses associated with the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier I capital, and common equity Tier I to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in orderclaims are judged to be "adequately capitalized."probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In additionmany lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to these requirements, banking organizations must maintaindetermine whether a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consistingliability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of common Tier I equity, subjectthat liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a transition schedule with a full phase-in by 2019. Effective January 1,reserve will not be recognized until that time.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company and Bankdid not have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or that were required to establishbe disclosed.

Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is a capital conservation bufferparty to both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of 1.875%, increasingcredit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the minimumamounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The following is a summary of the contractual and notional amounts of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments:

Lending-Related Instruments
The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments 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 instruments 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. Of the total commitments to extend credit, $274.5 million and $270.8 million are/were unconditionally cancellable by the Company at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 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 total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-basedto fund the commitment and common equity Tier I capitalwould be entitled to risk-weightedunderlying collateral, if applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets they must maintainincluding, but not limited to, avoid limitsaccounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate. The maximum potential future payments are limited to the contractual amount of the commitment.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of Company's normal mortgage origination process, it provides the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on capital distributionscurrent market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, the Company is subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, the Company may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best effort" basis, with certain approved investors. The Company accounts for its interest rate lock commitments on loans that will be held for sale as derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company records a derivative for its "best effort" forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should the Company enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor, it accounts for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative upon execution of the mandatory delivery contract.

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and certain bonus payments to executive officershas been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and similar employees.further, by the type of hedging relationship.

The Company designated its interest rate swaps on its junior subordinated debentures as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value for cash flow hedges is accounted for within AOCI, net of tax. Quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, each cash flow hedge is assessed for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified, this amount is recorded within the consolidated statements of income. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge is reclassified from AOCI into interest within the consolidated statements of income in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The change in fair value of derivative instruments, not designated and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and specificallyqualifying as hedges, are accounted for within the consolidated statements of income.

Customer Loan Swaps:
The Bank will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while the Bank was "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisionssimultaneously enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to manage its interest rate exposure effectively.

The Bank's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for each period. There were no new conditions or events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2018 that wouldaccounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Bank's interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company or Bank's regulatory capital categorization. records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents them on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

In 2015,The Bank seeks to mitigate its customer counterparty credit risk exposure through its loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Bank seeks to mitigate its institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which it will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty as necessary. The Bank's arrangement with its institutional counterparty requires it to post cash or other assets as collateral for its customer loan swap contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating or receive cash collateral for contracts in a net asset position as requested. At March 31, 2019, the Bank posted to the counterparty $6.2 million of cash as collateral on its customer loan swap contracts which was presented within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of master netting arrangements and presentation within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Junior Subordinated Debt Interest Rate Swaps:
The Company will enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable rate borrowings. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty quarterly on a net basis. The interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company issued $15.0to post cash or other assets as collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty will post collateral to the Company as requested. At March 31, 2019, the Company posted $7.1 million of subordinated debentures,cash as collateral to the counterparty and in 2006was presented within other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of master netting arrangements and 2008, it issued $43.0 millionpresentation within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges within the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, each within its calculation of risk-based capital. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $15.0 million of subordinated debentures were included as Tier II capital and were included in the calculation of the Company's total risk-based capital, and, at March 31,income.


2018 and December 31, 2017, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier I and total risk-based 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 dueNet payments to the difference in regulatory risk-weighting differences 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 impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

The Company's effective income tax ratecounterparty for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $152,000 and 2017$275,000, respectively, and were classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

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 has the intention to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative. The Company's pipeline of mortgage loans with fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments for which it intends to sell the loan upon origination were as follows for the dates indicated:

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 (but does not designate as a hedge) upon origination of a loan for which it intends to sell.

NOTE 810 – 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 I capital, and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I 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 I equity, subject to a transition schedule that was fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company and the Bank were required to establish a capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and, specifically, the Bank met the requirements to be considered "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisions for each period. There were no new conditions or events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2019, 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:

In 2015, the Company issued $15.0 million of subordinated debentures, and in 2006 and 2008, it issued $43.0 million of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities. Although the subordinated debentures and the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, each within its calculation of risk-based capital. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $15.0 million of subordinated debentures were included as Tier II capital and were included in the calculation of the Company's total risk-based capital, and, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier I and total risk-based 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 impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

NOTE 1012REPURCHASE AGREEMENTSEPS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction,following is an analysis of basic and diluted EPS, reflecting the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or 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 costapplication of the proceeds, which is recordedtwo-class method, as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security 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 transaction does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction 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.described below:

NOTE 1113 – 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 more clearly align 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
Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices or executed sales agreements and is classified as Level 2.

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 areis classified as Level 2.

Equity Securities: The fair value of investments in equity securities is reported utilizing market prices based on recent trading activity and dealer quotes. TheThese equity securities are traded on inactive markets and are classified as Level 2.



Derivatives:  The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps, including its junior subordinated debt interest rate swaps, FHLBB advance interest rate swaps and customer loan swaps, are 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 by the Company and its counterparties. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives due to collateral postings.

The fair value of the Company's fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments arewere 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 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 more significant input, and whilealthough the Company's internal pull-through rate estimate is a Level 3 estimate, it is not as criticalless significant to the ultimate valuation.

The fair value of the Company's forward delivery commitments are 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 following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

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, 2018.2019. 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.

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 Impaired Loans:  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Effective January 1, 2017, theThe Company's policy is to evaluate individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $500,000 or more, andthat are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual status. Prior to January 1, 2017, the Company's policy was to individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $250,000 or more and was classified as substandard or doubtful and was on non-accrual status. Once the population of loans is identified for individual impairment assessment, the Company measures these loans for impairment by comparing net realizable value, which is the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, to the carrying value of the loan. If the net realizable value of the loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, then a loss is recognized as part of the ALL to adjust the loan's carrying value to net realizable value. Accordingly, certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated 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, which arenamely 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. At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the mortgage servicing assets were not carried at fair value.
 
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, and goodwill and other 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 ALL 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 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: 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 for the three months ended March 31, 20182019, for which management believes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.



The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis 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. If necessary, management will test the core deposit intangibles for impairment by comparing its carrying value to the expected


undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets exceed its carrying value then the intangible assets are deemed to be fully recoverable and not impaired. However, if the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets are less than its carrying value, then an impairment charge is recorded to mark the carrying value of the intangible assets to fair value. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the three months ended March 31, 20182019, that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIESAND DERIVATIVES

Legal Contingencies 
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary 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 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. 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.
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or disclosure was deemed necessary.

Financial Instruments
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 contractual and notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments:

 8,065

Lending-Related Instruments
The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments 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 instruments 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of Company's normal mortgage origination process, it provides the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, the Company is subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, the Company may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best effort" basis, with certain approved investors. The Company accounts for its interest rate lock commitments on loans within the normal origination process for which it intends to sell as a derivative instrument. Furthermore, the Company records a derivative for its "best effort" forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should the Company enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor it accounts for the forward delivery commitment upon execution of the contract.



Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

The Company has designated its interest rate swaps on its junior subordinated debentures and its interest rate swaps on forecasted 30-day FHLBB borrowings as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the Company's cash flow hedges is accounted for within AOCI, net of tax. Quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each cash flow hedge for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified, this amount is recorded within the consolidated statements of income. Furthermore, the Company will reclassify the gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge from AOCI into interest within the consolidated statements of income in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The change in fair value of the Company's other derivative instruments, not designated and qualifying as hedges, are accounted for within the consolidated statements of income.

Customer Loan Swaps:
The Bank will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously the Bank enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to allow it to effectively manage its interest rate exposure.

The Bank's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Bank's interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents such on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

The following table presents the total positions, notional and fair value of the Company's customer loans swaps with its commercial customers and the corresponding interest rate swap agreements with counterparty for the periods indicated:

The Bank seeks to mitigate its customer counterparty credit risk exposure through its loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Bank seeks to mitigate its institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which it will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty quarterly on a net basis. The Bank's arrangement with its institutional counterparty requires it to post cash or other assets as collateral for its FHLBB advance interest rate swap and customer loan swap contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating or receive collateral for contracts in a net asset position as requested.


Junior Subordinated Debt Interest Rate Swaps:
The Company, from time to time, will enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with its variable rate borrowings. The Company has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty quarterly on a net basis. The interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company to post cash or other assets as collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty will post collateral to the Company as requested. At March 31, 2018, the Company posted $6.0 million of cash as collateral to the counterparty and was presented within other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

(1)Presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges within the consolidated statements of income.

Net payments to the counterparty for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $275,000 and $346,000, respectively, and were classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

FHLBB Advance Interest Rate Swaps:
On February 25, 2015, the Bank entered into two $25.0 million one year forward-starting interest rate swap arrangements with a counterparty to mitigate short-term interest rate risk. One contract matured on February 25, 2018 and the other is scheduled to mature on February 25, 2019. The Bank entered into these interest rate swaps to mitigate its interest rate exposure on borrowings in a rising interest rate environment. The Bank has designated each arrangement as a cash flow hedge in accordance with GAAP, and, therefore, the change in unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded within AOCI, net of tax. Also, quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each derivative instrument for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified this amount would be recorded within the consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness within the consolidated statements of income.

The Bank's arrangement with the counterparty requires it to post cash collateral for its FHLBB advance interest rate swap and customer loan swap contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty will post collateral to the Bank as requested. The collateral posted by the Bank (or counterparty) is not readily available and is presented within cash and due from banks on the Company's consolidated statements of condition. At March 31, 2018, the counterparty posted to the Bank $10.4 million of cash as collateral on its FHLBB advance interest rate swap and customer loan swap contracts. The collateral posted by the counterparty to the Bank is not readily available and has been designated as restricted cash and was presented within total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the consolidated statements of condition.

Interest Rate Locks 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 has the intention to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative. The Company's pipeline of mortgage loans with fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments for which the Company intends to sell the loan upon origination were as follows for the periods indicated:
    March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the net unrealized loss from the change in fair value on the Company's fixed-rate mortgage rate locks reported within mortgage banking income, net, on the consolidated statements of income were $12,000 for each period.

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 to typically 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 (but does not designate as a hedge) upon origination of a loan for which it intends to sell. The Company's forward delivery commitments on loans held for sale was as follows for the periods indicated:
    March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017

The Company expects approximately $693,000 (pre-tax) to be reclassified to interest expense from OCI, related to the Company’s cash flow hedges, in the next twelve months. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of March 31, 2018.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar Amounts in Tables Expressed in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)


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 loan 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;
competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks;
volatility in the securities markets that could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, impairment of goodwill, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs, and which could lead to impairment in the value of securities in the Company's investment portfolio;
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.

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, 2017,2018, 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.

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 allowance for loan losses; (ii) accounting for acquisitionsrural areas. The Company and the subsequent reviewBank generally have effectively competed with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service, highlighted by local decision-making, establishing long-term customer relationships, building customer loyalty and providing products and services designed to meet the needs of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) OTTI of investments; and (iv) income taxes.

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, such as the return on average tangible equity, efficiency ratio; tax equivalent net interest income; tangible book value per share; and tangible common equity ratio; and return on average tangible equity. We utilize theseratio. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized for purposes of measuring our performance against ourthe Company's peer group and other financial institutions, andas well as for analyzing ourits internal performance. WeThe Company also believebelieves these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company’sCompany's operating performance and trends and allowallows 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 tax effected amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment (the numerator) to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and other intangible assets. This adjusted financial ratio reflects a shareholders' return on tangible capital deployed in our business and is a common measure within ourthe financial services industry.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
 
Operating ResultsStrong operating results for the first quarter of 2019 resulted in improved financial performance metrics, compared to the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $14.3 million and diluted EPS was $0.91, representing an increase over the first quarter of last year of $1.5 million and $0.09 per share, respectively. For the first quarter of 2019, return on average assets increased to 1.33%, up from 1.28% for the same period last year, and return on average equity increased to 13.13%, up from 12.91% for the same period last year.
Net
First quarter 2019 net income and diluted EPS increased 11% over the first quarter last year as revenue grew $3.6 million, or 9%, which includes net interest income and non-interest income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $12.8 million and $0.82 per share, respectively, , representing increasesfirst quarter of 2019 increased 10% over the same period of 2017 of 27% and 28%.2018. Net interest income growth was driven by strong average loan and deposit growth of 10%


and 13%, respectively. Net interest margin on fully-taxable basis expanded by 8 basis points over the first quarter of 2018 to 3.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2018first quarter of 2019. Our ability to fund asset growth through core deposit growth, which includes checking, savings and money market deposits, has directly resulted in the improvement of our net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis between periods. Non-interest income over the same period last year was due to the following factors:increased 7%.
A decrease in our effective tax rate as the federal corporate income tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21%, as tax reform was passed in December 2017 and went into effect on January 1, 2018. Our effective tax rate
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 19.4%, compared to 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. As a result, the estimated benefit for the Company for the three months ended was $1.9first quarter of 2019 increased $1.2 million in lower income tax expense, or $0.12 per diluted share.
Total revenue (sum of net interest income and non-interest income) grew $1.3 million, or 4%, driven by net interest income growth of $1.0 million, or 4%. Our net interest income growth for the three months ended March 31, 2018 over the same period last year was due to average loan growthfirst quarter of $156.4 million, or 6%, and average demand deposit and interest checking growth of $177.4 million, or 16%.2018. The importance of low-cost deposit growth can't be understated as borrowing rates have risen, highlighted by an increase in our average borrowing rate of 50 basis pointsprovision for credit losses between periods was largely due to 1.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 over the same period last year.
Negative (or credit) provision expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $497,000, compared to an expense of $579,000 for three months ended March 31, 2017. The negative provision expense for three months ended March 31, 2018 was driven by strong asset quality across our loan portfolio and the favorable resolution of onea large non-accruing commercial real estate loan in the first quarter of 2018 which resulted in the release of almost $1.0 million of provision expense. The provision for which we were able release the specific reserve.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $876,000, or 4%, over the same period last year partially offsetting the income increases outlined above. Our efficiency ratio1 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 58.76%, compared to 58.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.



Our key profitability measures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

Upon resolution, the associated loan reserve was released driving a negative provisionNon-interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 increased 2% over the first quarter of 2018. Compensation-related costs increased 3% over this period, primarily due to normal merit increases and rising health care premiums, while a one-time recovery of previously incurred collection-related costs drove a net recovery for the first quarter of 2019 of $307,000, compared to OREO and collection costs of $75,000 for the first quarter of 2018.

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, plus 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 which is our largest source of revenue and accounted for 77% and 76% of total revenues (netfor the first quarter of 2019 and 2018. Net interest income and non-interest income) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, 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.

OurNet interest margin is calculated as net interest income, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2019 was 3.18%, compared to 3.10% for the first quarter last year.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2019 was $32.1 million, representing an increase of $3.0 million, or 10%, over the first quarter last year. The increase was driven by expanding assets yields of 42 basis points over the first quarter last year to 4.20% for the first quarter of 2019, while funding costs increased 35 basis points over the same period to 1.07% for the first quarter of 2019. As a result, net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis which is calculated as annualized net interest income on a fully-taxableexpanded 8 basis over total average interest-earning assets, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was 3.10% and 3.15%, respectively.

Net Interest Income — Three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Net interest income on a fully-taxable basis for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $29.0 million compared to $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net interest income on a fully-taxable basispoints over this period of $781,000, or 3%, was primarily driven by averagelargely due to our ability to fund loan growth with deposits, which is a more efficient source of $156.4 million, or 6%, and demand deposit and interest checking growthfunding. Average deposits grew 13% in the first quarter of $177.4 million, or 16%. This was partially offset by a decrease in our net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis of 5 basis points to 3.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to2019 over the same period last year. The decrease in our net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis were drivenyear, led by the following factors:

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, loanaverage checking growth of $289.6 million, or 23%, and deposit fair value mark accretion income and income from collection on previously charged-off loans was $558,000, representing a decreasemoney market growth of $246,000,$95.0 million, or 3 basis points, compared to the19%. Over this same period, last year.


For the three months ended March 31, 2018, tax-equivalent interest income was $254,000, representing a decrease of $266,000,average loans grew $269.7 million, or 3 basis points, compared to the same period last year. Tax-equivalent interest income decreased primarily due to the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, effective for 2018.10%.

The following table presents average balances, interest income, interest expense, and the corresponding average yields earned and cost of funds, as well as net interest income, net interest rate spread and net interest margin on a fully-taxable basis for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017:2018:

Provision for Credit Losses
The (credit) provision for credit losses is comprisedprimarily made up of the (credit)our provision for loan losses, andbut also includes the (credit) provision for unfunded commitments.

The provision (credit) provision for loan losses, which makes up the vast majority of the (credit) provision for credit losses is a recorded expense (credit) expense determined by management that adjusts the ALL to a level that, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The (credit) provision for loan losses reflects loan quality, trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the (credit) provision for loan losses reflects both the necessary increases in the ALL related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.

The provision (credit) provision for loan losses for the three months endedfirst quarter of 2019 was ($500,000),$750,000, compared to $581,000($500,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Non-Interest Expense — Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The significant changes in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 included:
An increase in salaries and employee benefits of 5% primarily driven by an increase salary costs and accrued bonuses due to normal annual merit increases, increased headcount and continued wage inflation.
An increase in furniture, equipment and data processing costs primarily driven by an increase in technology investments and advancement costs of $264,000, or 15%, over the past year.
A decrease in amortization of intangible assets as its trust relationship intangible assets were fully amortized as of December 31, 2017.
An increase in other expenses primarily driven by an increase in external recruiting fees of $124,000, an increase in donations and marketing expenses of $73,000, and an increase in pension and postretirement benefit (excluding the service cost component, which was presented within salaries and employee benefits) of $48,000.

Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million on pre-tax income of $15.9 million, or an effective tax rate for the period of 19.4%, compared to $4.3 million of income tax expense on pre-tax income of $14.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 30.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due to the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2018, as the Tax Act was passed in December 2017. We estimate that the net income benefit due to the lower federal income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $1.9 million. Our current estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018, excluding any discrete period items, is 19.9%.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, net deferred tax assets totaled $23.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, and we did not carry any valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets as of those dates. We continue monitor and assess the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets quarterly in conjunction with our financial reporting.FINANCIAL CONDITION

Investment Securities
We purchase and holdThe Company utilizes the investment securitiesportfolio to diversify our revenues,manage liquidity, interest rate and credit risk, and provideregulatory capital, as well as to take advantage of market conditions to generate a favorable return on investments without undue risk. The Company’s investment portfolio consists of debt securities available for liquiditysale, debt securities which management intends to hold until maturity and funding needs. Our investment securities portfolio is primarily made upcommon stock of MBS (pass through securitiesthe FHLBB, FRB and CMOs)certain banks. Investments increased $10.2 million, or 1%, which accounted for 99% of our total investment securities portfolio at March 31, 2018 and2019 as compared to December 31, 2017, followed2018. The increase was attributable to periodic purchases throughout the quarter totaling $28.8 million, partially offset by municipal bonds, subordinated corporate bonds,paydowns and calls of $32.0 million and a minority (less than 5%) equity position$14.1 million increase in certain bank stocks. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the FHLBB and FRBB and is required to hold a certain amount of FHLBB and FRBB common stock.



With the exception of our municipal bonds portfolio, we have historically designated our debt investment securities as AFS to provide us greater flexibility in managing our liquidity and funding needs in conjunction with our overall asset/liability management program. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of debtcertain securities designated as AFS was $796.7 million and $789.1 million, respectively, whereas the carrying value of our municipal bonds designated as HTM was $93.2 million and $94.1 million, respectively. AFS securities are carried at fair valuebased on the consolidated statements of condition with the associated unrealized gains or (losses) recordedchanges in AOCI, net of tax. HTM securities are carried at amortized cost.market interest rates.

Our investments in FHLBB and FRB common stock continued to be accounted for andare carried at cost. These investments are presented within other investments on the consolidated statements of condition. We are required to maintain a level of investment in FHLBB stock based on our level of FHLBB advances, and maintain a level of investment in FRB common stock based on the Bank's capital levels. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, our investment in FHLBB stock totaled $17.6$4.9 million and $18.3$8.6 million, respectively, and our investment in FRB stock was $5.4 million.

(1)Effective January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) are to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The change in unrealized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $35,000 was presented within other income on the consolidated statements of income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we did2019, the primary consideration in determining whether impairment is OTTI is whether or not have net gains or (losses) on sale of investments. However, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized a gain of $195,000 within other income on the consolidated statements of income upon mandatory liquidation of a reinsurance program investment.Bank expects to collect all contractual cash flows.

We continuously monitor and evaluate our investment securities portfolio to identify and assess risks within our portfolio, including, but not limited to, the impact of the current rate environment and the related prepayment risk, and review credit ratings. The overall mix of debt securities at March 31, 20182019 compared to December 31, 20172018 remains relatively unchanged and well positioned to provide a stable source of cash flow. TheAt March 31, 2019, the duration of our debt investment securities portfolio, adjusting for calls when appropriate and consensus prepayment speeds at March 31, 2018 was 3.7 years, compared to 4.1 years as compared toat December 31, 2017 of 3.8 years.2018. We continue to invest in debt securities with a short period until maturity or call option to limit prepayment risk.

MBS securities are directly impacted by the interest rate environment and the yield curve. A low interest rate environment directly affects the interest income earned on these investments by accelerating prepayments and, consequently, the acceleration of our premium amortization. Additionally, a low rate environment and a flatter yield curve will decrease the yield earned upon reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds back into other MBS securities, impacting our net interest income and margin. As of March 31, 2018, the amount of net premiums on our investment securities to be recognized in future periods totaled $11.7 million, which equated to a weighted-average premium above par of approximately 1%.


Subsequent changes to the interest rate environment will continue to impact our investment yield and earned net interest income.

We review our investments portfolio quarterly for impairment in accordance with our internal policy. Our assessment includes, but is not limited to, reviewing available financial data, assessing credit rating changes, if any, and consideration of our intent and ability to hold temporarily impaired investment securities until we expect them to recover. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we held debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position totaling $27.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively, that we concluded were temporarily impaired and we have the intent and ability to hold these securities until they recover. The decline in the fair value of the debt securities was reflective of current interest rates in excess of the yield received on investments and was not indicative of an overall credit deterioration or other factors within our investment securities portfolio. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statementsfor further discussion.

Potential Problem Loans.  Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were between 30 and 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  We use a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient ALL. The ALL is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The ALL is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The determination of an appropriate level of ALL, and subsequent provision for loan losses which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio. During our analysis and review, many factors are considered including, but not limited to, loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALL, which includes an expanded risk rating system to assist us in identifying the risks being undertaken.

The decrease in the ALL of $1.2 million, or 5%, since December 31, 2017 to $23.0 million at March 31, 2018 was driven by continued asset quality improvement across our loan portfolio and the favorable resolution of one large commercial real estate loan that was on non-accrual for which the specific loan reserve was released driving a negative credit loss provision for the first quarter of 2018 of $497,000. In the first quarter of 2018, credit quality across our loan portfolio improved since year-end requiring less ALL at March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, and December 31, 2017, loans designated as passing and performing were 98%, 97% and 98% of our total loans, respectively.



We believe the ALL of $23.0$25.2 million, or 0.82%0.83% of total loans and 119.37%180.81% of total non-performing loans, at March 31, 2018 is2019 was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio. However, if conditions deteriorate the provision will likely increase.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits at March 31, 20182019 increased $25.1$113.7 million to $3.0$3.6 billion since December 31, 2017,2018, primarily due to net checking account growth of $135.9 million, or 9%, and brokered deposits growth of $39.8$70.7 million, and savings and money marketor 19%. This growth of $19.8 million,was partially offset by a decrease in demandsavings in money market account balances in the first quarter of 2019 of $77.5 million, or 7%.



Our core deposit growth in the first quarter of 2019 of $58.4 million, or 2%, which includes interest and interestnon-interest checking, balances of $30.7 million, whichsavings and money market accounts, was primarily driven by an increase in balances from our larger commercial deposit relationships. These deposit relationships are subject to more variability in balances due to dependence on business-specific cash flow needs, interest rates and pricing, and other factors.

Total borrowings decreased $16.4 million, or 5%, in the seasonality in ourfirst quarter of 2019 to $325.2 million at March 31, 2019. The decrease was due to strong core deposit flows within our markets. growth and the utilization of brokered deposits to replace short-term borrowings over this same period. At March 31, 2019, we did not have outstanding any FHLBB short-term borrowings, representing a decrease of $25.0 million since December 31, 2018.

Our loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, was 92%85% and 93%87%, respectively.

Total borrowings at March 31, 2018 were $622.3 million, representing an increase of $10.8 million, or 2% since December 31, 2018. The increase was due to an increase in customer repurchase agreements of $11.6 million.

Shareholders' Equity. Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 20182019 increased $642,000$17.9 million to $404.1$453.7 million since December 31, 2017.2018. The increase was primarily due to net income for the three months ended March 31, 20182019, of $12.8$14.3 million, partially offset by (i) a change$10.1 million decrease in AOCI driven by a decrease in our unrealized losses, net of $8.2 milliontax, on our AFS debt securities due to the interest rate environment and (ii) dividends declared of $3.9$4.7 million, or $0.25$0.30 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

On January 22, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 775,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 5.0% of our issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, 55,557 shares of Company common stock were repurchased at an average price of $41.51 per share.

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 in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy their varied liquidity requirements.demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits;deposits, borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources;sources, cash flows from operations;operations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities;securities and the sale of mortgage loans.

Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, average deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $2.7$3.1 billion increased $194.2$347.5 million, or 8%13%, compared to the same period last year. Average core deposits (demand,(non-interest checking, interest checking, savings and money market) of $2.3$2.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 increased $185.8$376.7 million, or 9%17%, compared to the same period a year ago. Included within our money market


deposits at March 31, 20182019, were $53.0$69.2 million of deposits from Camden National Wealth Management, ourthe Bank's wealth management and trust department, which representsrepresent client funds. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of its clients.the clients of Camden National Wealth Management.
 
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. For the three


months ended March 31, 20182019, average total borrowings (including brokered deposits) decreased $56.9$114.9 million, or 13%, to $863.0$748.1 million compared to the same period last year. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB whose advances remain the largest non-deposit-related funding source, 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 PNC Banka correspondent bank of $50.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $101.7$114.8 million as of March 31, 2018. We had no outstanding balances on these lines of credit at March 31, 2018. Customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises.2019. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a maturity date ofcorrespondent bank that matures on December 20, 2018. We had no outstanding balance on these lines of credit at March 31, 2018.2019.

We believe our investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, the wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that the 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 national brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position. 

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 $404.1$453.7 million and $403.4$435.8 million at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, which amounted to 10% of total assets.assets as of the respective dates. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" above for discussion regarding changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019.

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 $3.9$4.7 million and $3.6$3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, theThe Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share, compared to a dividend of $0.23 per share for the same period last year, which drove an increase in dividends declared of $319,000 over the period. Our 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 have been and 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. The Bank declared dividends to the Company in the aggregate amount of $6.0 million and $5.1 million forFor the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Bank declared dividends payable to the Company in the amount of $7.0 million and 2017,$6.0 million, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, without prior OCC approval, the Bank may not declare dividends in any year in excess of the Bank’s (i) net income for the current year (ii) plus its retained net income for the prior two years.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 610 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 theapplicable prompt correctioncorrective action provisions.



CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Credit Commitments.Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. 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 lending commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customerborrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, we are entitled to underlying collateral, as applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate.

Derivatives. We use derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. We control the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of our normal mortgage origination process, we provide the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, we are subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk, we may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a best-efforts basis, with certain approved investors. We account for its interest rate lock commitments on loans within the normal origination processthat will be held for which we intend to sellsale as a derivative instrument.instruments. Furthermore, we record a derivative for our best-effort forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should we enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor, it accountswe account for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative upon execution of the mandatory delivery contract.

Hedge Instruments. From time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also enter into fixed-rate interest rate swaps and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If interest rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instrument. We may also enter into variable rate interest rate swaps and cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If interest rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swaps and cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased.

Refer to Note 128 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We are a party to several contractual obligations through lease agreements on a number of branches. OurEffective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases. In conjunction with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, 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. Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, the Company's estimated lease liability for its various operating and finance leases represent off-balance sheet arrangements, while our one capital lease is reflectedwas reported within other liabilities on our consolidated statements of condition. Please refer to Notes 2 and 5 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of our leases.

We enter into agreements routinely as part of our normal business to manage deposits and borrowings.

At March 31, 2018,2019, we had an obligation and commitment to make future payments under each of these contracts as follows:

Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed and variable rate borrowings that are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one-to four-family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets.

We have an obligation and commitment to repay all short- and long-term borrowings. These commitments and borrowings and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.

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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 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, 2018.

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 result in negative rates as many deposit and funding rates are below 2.00%. During the last few years, our downward shift has been 100 basis points. Starting in the third quarter of 2018, we resumed running a downward shift of 200 basis points. 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 scenario, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at 0.25%.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.

(1)The down 200 basis point scenario was not performed as part of the Company's March 31, 2018 net interest income sensitivity analysis given market interest rates at that time.

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 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 slightly as assets continue to settle into higher yields while funding costs remain relatively unchanged. Beyond the first year, net interest income increases slightly. If rates decrease 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease as loans reprice into lower yields and funding costs have limited capacity to reduce the cost of funds in the first year. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to decrease as loans and investment cash flow reprice into lower yields as prepayments increase while reduction in the cost of funds becomes limited. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to increase slightly in the first year due to the repricing of assets outpacing that of liabilities. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to increase as loan and investment yields continue to reprice/reset into higher yields and the cost of funds lags.

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use 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. As of March 31, 2019, we had $43.0 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to the junior subordinated debentures and $401.3 million of notional interest rate swap agreements related to our commercial loan level derivative program with both our commercial customers and a corresponding swap dealer. The Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies.

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity pricesFinancial Condition and equity prices. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and managementResults of this risk is an important component of our asset and liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Bank’s Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board ALCO delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to Management ALCO. In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks.
