SECOND QUARTER REPORT − 2015 Dear Fellow Shareholders: Remarkable is the only way to describe the second quarter and the first six months of 2015. We have strengthened our franchise through the pending strategic merger with The Bank of Maine and have continued to deliver strong financial results. Our core operating earnings, which exclude merger and acquisition-related costs and investment security gains, were up 19% for the second quarter and 16% for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods a year ago. Camden National’s strong core operating earnings allowed us to absorb merger and acquisition related expenses of $768,000, net of taxes, while still reporting diluted earnings per share growth of 13% and 7% for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014. Core return on average equity (‘‘ROAE’’) was 11.53% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to 10.60% reported the previous year, while Core ROAE for the first six months of 2015 increased 71 basis points to 10.90% over the same period a year ago. Our second quarter 2015 core operating earnings growth was the result of increased net interest income of $1.4 million from higher average loan balances of 8% compared to the same period a year ago. Our net interest margin for the quarter increased 10 basis points over the same period last year to 3.21%. The increase in our net interest margin largely reflected a $734,000 one-time interest income pick-up related to a non-performing loan that was resolved during the second quarter. This is just one example of the hard work of our team who strikes the fine balance between assisting customers in time of need and our obligation to recoup funds. Core non-interest income was $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, an improvement of 1% over the second quarter of 2014. The increase was largely attributable to the ramp-up of our secondary loan sales that drove an increase in mortgage banking income of $276,000 compared to the same period a year ago. Core non-interest expense was $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 2% increase over the second quarter of 2014. This was driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of 2% and continued technology and software enhancements focused on improving the customer experience and driving internal efficiencies. Following the merger, Camden National will continue to provide customers with smart and sophisticated banking products and services to meet their everyday needs, ranging from cutting edge online and mobile banking platforms to innovative personal and commercial products, as well as access to wealth management and brokerage services. Customers will still receive the same genuine and personal service that they have come to expect at all of our 64 Maine-based branches, over 85 ATMs, and our loan offices in Manchester, New Hampshire as well as Boston and Braintree, Massachusetts. On June 30, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share, resulting in a dividend yield of 3.10%. Whether achieving strong quarterly financial results or pursuing a significant acquisition, the support of our shareholders is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Gregory A. Dufour President and Chief Executive Officer CamdenNational.com | 800-860-8821
