In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of condition of Camden National Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Camden National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (which includes the consolidated accounts of Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC") and Property A, Inc. as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and HPFC, Property A, Inc. and Property P, Inc. as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary capacity, through Camden National Wealth Management, a division of the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the consolidated statements of condition. The Company also owns 100% of the common stock of Camden Capital Trust A and Union Bankshares Capital Trust I. These entities are unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported. Net income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

    ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). The FASB issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain technical exceptions and by clarifying and amending certain areas. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and as such the Company adopted effective January 1, 2021. There was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting ASU 2019-12.

    ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform ("ASU 2020-04"), as amended by ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope ("ASU 2021-01"). On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which was subsequently amended by ASU 2021-01. The FASB issued these updates to ease the burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 contain optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 effective January 1, 2021, and there was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this guidance.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the unrealized losses on Company's AFS debt securities have not been recognized within income because management does not intend to sell and it is not more-likely-than-not it will be required to sell any of the AFS debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and not reflective of credit events. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds.

    At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on AFS debt securities, was $3.3 million and $3.1 million respectively and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-related securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s HTM debt securities portfolio was made up of three investment grade municipal debt securities, of which two securities also carried credit enhancements. The HTM debt securities portfolio was comprised solely of high credit quality (rated AA or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. As a result, the Company determined that the expected credit loss on its HTM portfolio was immaterial, and therefore, an allowance was 0t carried on its HTM debt securities at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of the Company's HTM debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any interest income on non-accrual HTM debt securities. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on HTM debt securities, was $10,000, and reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

    Total$(2,869)$(435)
    (1)    The change in net unamortized loan (fees) origination costs from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by SBA PPP loan origination fees capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unamortized loan fees on originated SBA PPP loans were $5.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

    The Company's lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include loan production offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Company originates single- 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.

    Beginning in April 2020, the Company started funding SBA PPP loans issued to qualifying businesses as part of the federal stimulus package issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company originated 1,620 SBA PPP loans totaling $102.2 million to qualifying businesses across our markets in need of financial support due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company originated 3,034 SBA PPP loans totaling $244.8 million. This program provided qualifying businesses a specialized low-interest loan by the U.S. Treasury Department and is administered by the SBA. The PPP provides borrower guarantees for lenders, as well as loan forgiveness incentives for borrowers that utilize the loan proceeds to cover employee compensation-related business operating costs, as well as certain other costs up to pre-established limits.

    In the normal course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies, under terms that are consistent with the Company's lending policies and regulatory requirements and that do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, outstanding loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies was less than 5% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

    15


    Loan Sales

    For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company sold $110.8 million and $197.8 million, respectively, of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $2.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company sold $303.4 million and $267.0 million, respectively, of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $9.1 million and $6.1 million.

    At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had certain residential mortgage loans with a principal balance of $14.9 million and $40.5 million, respectively, designated as held for sale. The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its loans held for sale, and at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, recorded an unrealized gain of $253,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income of $267,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized (loss) gain on loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income of ($804,000) and $742,000, respectively.

    The Company has forward delivery commitments with a secondary market investor on each of its loans held for sale at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's forward delivery commitments.

    ACL on Loans

    Under CECL, effective January 1, 2020 but applied to interim reporting periods on or after October 1, 2020, the ACL on loans is management's estimate of expected credit losses within its loan portfolio as of each reporting date.

    The Board of Directors monitors credit risk through: (i) the Directors' Credit Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors 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, and concentration levels; and (ii) the Audit Committee, which has approval authority and oversight responsibility for ACL adequacy and 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, and maintain the integrity of the loan rating system. The adequacy of the ACL, including the ACL on loans, is overseen by the Management Provision Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various Company executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Risk, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking. The Management Provision Committee is further supported by other management-level committees to ensure the adequacy of the ACL. The Management Provision Committee supports the oversight efforts of the director-level committees discussed in the paragraph above and the Board of Directors. The Company's practice is to manage its loan portfolio proactively 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 ACL on loans, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's loan portfolio segments, as determined based on the unique risk characteristics of each, include the following:

    Commercial Real Estate - Non Owner-Occupied. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are, in substance, all commercial real estate loans that are not categorized by the Company as owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Non owner-occupied commercial estate loans are investment properties in which the primary source for repayment of the loan by the borrower is derived from rental income associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent refinancing of the property. Non owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, multi-family residential, commercial/retail office space, industrial/warehouse space, hotels, assisted living facilities and other specific use properties. Also included within the non owner-occupied commercial real estate loan segment are construction projects until they are completed. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and
    16


    evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.

    Commercial Real Estate - Owner-Occupied. Generally, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are properties that are owned and operated by the borrower, and the primary source for repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower's business. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, commercial/retail office space, restaurants, educational and medical practice 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. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.

    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.

    SBA PPP. SBA PPP loans are unsecured, fully-guaranteed commercial loans backed by the SBA, issued to qualifying small businesses as part of federal stimulus issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans made under the program during the year ended December 31, 2020 have terms of two or five years, and those made for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have a term of five years. SBA PPP loans are to be used by the borrower to offset certain payroll and other operating costs, such as rent and utilities. The loan and accrued interest, or a portion thereof, is eligible for forgiveness by the SBA should the qualifying small business meet certain conditions. These loans were originated under the guidance of the SBA, which has been subject to change.

    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 residences, including for investment purposes.

    Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines of credit are made to qualified individuals and are 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 include 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.

    (1)    The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, "CECL," effective January 1, 2020 but applied to reporting periods on or after October 1, 2020.

    During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no significant changes in our CECL modeling methodology to determine the ACL on loans at June 30, 2021. The significant key assumptions used with the ACL on loans calculation at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, included: (i) Company-specific macroeconomic factors (i.e., loss drivers), (ii) our forecast period and reversion speed, (iii) prepayment speeds, and (iv) various qualitative factors.

    The ACL on loans, as presented and accounted for under the CECL methodology, decreased $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $32.1 million as of June 30, 2021. The decrease in the ACL on loans was driven by an overall improvement in management's forecast of macroeconomic factors over a one-year forecast period.

    (1)    Includes both commercial real estate - non owner-occupied and owner-occupied loan segments.

    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 identify credit concentrations effectively, 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. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's total exposure to the lessors of nonresidential buildings' industry was 14% of total loans and 32% of total commercial real estate loans. There were 0 other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of June 30, 2021.

    COVID-19 Loan Deferral Program

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company worked with businesses and consumers through the year ended 2020 to provide temporary debt payment relief that generally provided principal and/or interest payment deferrals for a period of 180 days or less. All loans that were granted temporary payment relief during the year ended 2020 complied with the terms of the CARES Act, which was signed into law in March 2020, and bank regulator guidance, and thus were not individually assessed, designated or accounted for as TDRs.

    The Company did not issue or extend temporary debt relief to customers due to COVID-19 hardships during the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, the Company may do so on case-by-case under bank regulator guidance or the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which extended the provisions within the CARES Act that provided TDR accounting relief to the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the date that is 60 days after the date the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic declared by the President on March 13, 2020 terminates.

    At June 30, 2021, the Company did 0t have any loans operating under temporary short-term payment deferral arrangements due to being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2020. The majority of these loans have returned to normal payment status or have since fully paid-off. Of those loans that were previously operating under a short-term deferral arrangement, $1.3 million were classified as non-accrual and $536,000 were 30-89 days past due as of June 30, 2021.

    Credit Quality Indicators

    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 real estate - non owner-occupied and owner-occupied, commercial and residential real estate portfolio segments 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 ACL on loans:

    •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.

    Loans that were granted temporary debt relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic were not automatically downgraded into lower credit risk ratings.

    The Company periodically reassesses asset quality indicators to reflect appropriately 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.

    Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans

    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 secured 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 will 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, generally at least six months. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are generally charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

    All loans that were granted temporary payment relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic were current with payments in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act and bank regulatory guidance at the time of initial relief. As of June 30, 2021, all loans that were once granted temporary debt relief and had outstanding principal balances have returned to regular payment status. As of December 31, 2020, the payment status for loans that continued to operate under a payment deferral arrangement were reported based on payment status at the time the deferral was granted to the borrower. Of those loans operating under a short-term deferral arrangement, $1.3 million were classified as non-accrual and $536,000 were 30-89 days past due as of June 30, 2021, compared to $457,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

    Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

    Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms is estimated to have been $67,000 and $87,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the interest income that is estimated to have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $143,000 and $166,000, respectively.

    The Company's policy is to reverse previously recorded interest income when a loan is placed on non-accrual, as such, the Company did not record any interest income on its non-accruals for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. An immaterial amount of accrued interest on non-accrual loans was written-off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, by reversing interest income. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total accrued interest receivable on loans, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on loans, was $8.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

    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.

    24


    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 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 ACL for the dates indicated:

    In-Process Foreclosure Proceedings

    At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in process.

    FHLB Advances

    FHLB advances are those borrowings from the FHLBB greater than 90 days. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain commercial real estate loans, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. The carrying value of residential real estate and commercial loans pledged as collateral was $1.3 billion at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

    Refer to Notes 3 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of securities pledged as collateral.

    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's subordinated debentures were $44.3 million and $59.3 million, respectively. On April 16, 2021, the Company exercised its call option on its $15.0 million of subordinated debentures, at par plus accrued interest. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's remaining subordinated debentures were comprised of two tranches of junior subordinated debentures.

    NOTE 6 – 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 within interest on borrowings on the consolidated statements of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as collateral for the repurchase obligations. Since the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions do not meet the criteria to be classified as sales, and are therefore considered secured borrowing transactions 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.

    The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and types of collateral as of the dates indicated:

    NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Commitments

    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 Company's contractual off-balance sheet commitments for the dates indicated:
    (In thousands)June 30,
    2021
    December 31,
    2020
    Commitments to extend credit$753,052 $723,986 
    Standby letters of credit6,441 4,735 
    Total$759,493 $728,721 

    The Company’s commitments to extend credit from its lending activities 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 commitments 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.

    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 to fund the commitment and would be entitled to the underlying collateral, if applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate. The maximum potential future payments are limited to the contractual amount of the commitment.

    The Company establishes an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures on its contractual off-balance sheet commitments, except those that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company, of $2.5 million and $2.6 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

    For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the provision (credit) for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $49,000 and ($2,000), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the (credit) provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was ($53,000) and $1,000.

    Legal Contingencies

    In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened litigation, claims investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings. 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. Assessments of litigation exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the lawsuit involves class allegations. 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. Assessments of class action litigation, which is generally more complex than other types of litigation, are particularly difficult, especially in the early stages of the proceeding when it is not known whether a class will be certified or how a potential class, if certified, will be defined. As a result, the Company may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to every litigation matter it faces.

    28


    The Company did 0t have any material loss contingencies that were provided for and/or that are required to be disclosed as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

    NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

    The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

    Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

    Interest Rate Contracts

    The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments or the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate assets or liabilities or forecasted issuances of debt.

    For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense or interest income in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense or interest income as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities or assets. The Company estimates that an additional $2.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense and an additional $1.6 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income over the next 12 months.

    Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

    Customer Loan Swaps

    Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

    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 intends to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative.

    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 upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale.

    Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features    

    By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining
    32


    collateral, where appropriate. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote.

    The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, the Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well- capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative position(s) and the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $35.2 million and $50.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted cash collateral of $36.2 million and $57.5 million, respectively. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $35.2 million and $50.5 million, respectively.

    NOTE 9 – BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

    The Company does not offset the carrying value for derivative instruments or repurchase agreements on the consolidated statements of condition. The Company does net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be pledged or received is monitored and adjusted as necessary. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of repurchase agreements and Note 8 for further discussion of derivative instruments.

    NOTE 10 – 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 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 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 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 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 1 equity in an amount above the minimum
    34


    risk-based capital requirements for "adequately capitalized" institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets, resulting in a requirement for the Company and the Bank effectively to maintain common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively. The Company and the Bank must maintain the capital conservation buffer to avoid restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses and to engage in share repurchases based on the amount of the shortfall and the institution's "eligible retained income" (that is, the greater of (i) net income for the preceding four quarters, net of distributions and associated tax effects not reflected in net income and (ii) average net income over the preceding four quarters).

    The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the Bank's capital ratios met the requirements for it to be considered "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisions for each period. There were no changes to the Company or Bank's capital ratios that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2021 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:

    (1)    “Minimum Regulatory Provisions To Be ‘Well Capitalized’” are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies.

    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 applicable regulation, to include, subject to certain limits, each within its calculation of risk-based capital. The Company's $15.0 million of subordinated debentures became subject to phase-out of Tier 2 capital 20% annually beginning in October 2020, and 20% annually thereafter, until fully phased-out by 2024. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital for the Company.

    On April 16, 2021, the Company redeemed its $15.0 million of subordinated debentures in full, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, thus, was no longer included as Tier 2 capital within the calculation of total risk-based capital at June 30, 2021. At December 31, 2020, $12.0 million, or 80%, of the subordinated debentures were included as Tier 2 capital within the calculation of the Company's total risk-based capital.

    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 the impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

    NOTE 12 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

    A portion of the Company's non-interest income is derived from contracts with customers, and, as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance.

    37


    The Company has disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers into categories based on the nature of the revenue. The categorization of revenues from contracts with customers that are within the scope of ASC 606 closely aligns with the presentation of revenue categories presented within non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. The following table presents the revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606 for the periods indicated:

    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.

    NOTE 15 – 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.
    39



    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

    Trading Securities: The fair value of trading securities is reported using market quoted prices and has been classified as Level 1 as they are actively traded and no valuation adjustments have been applied.

    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 is classified as Level 2.

    Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined on an individual loan basis using quoted secondary market prices and is classified as Level 2.

    Derivatives:  The fair value of interest rate swaps is 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 June30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 as sufficient collateral exists, mitigating the credit risk.

    The fair value of the Company's fixed-rate interest rate lock commitments were 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 loan 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, although the Company's internal pull-through rate estimate is a Level 3 estimate, it is less significant to the ultimate valuation.

    The fair value of the Company's forward delivery commitments is 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 Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 Loans:  Expected credit losses on individually assessed loans deemed to be collateral dependent are valued based upon the lower of amortized cost of fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Management estimates 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, namely 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.
     
    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, goodwill and core deposit 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 ACL 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 credit 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: 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 the six months ended June 30, 2021, for which management believes it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

    Core Deposit Intangible Assets: The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized 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. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the six months ended June 30, 2021, that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

    ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    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 credit 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.

    In addition, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's businesses and results of operations and financial conditions may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

    •the continued effectiveness of our Pandemic Work Group;
    •the continuing ability of our employees to work remotely;
    •our continuing ability to staff our branches and keep our branches open;
    •the continuing strength of our capital and liquidity positions;
    •our continued ability to access sources of contingent liquidity;
    •the continuing strength of the asset quality in our lending portfolios; and
    •the potential effectiveness of relief measures and programs for customers affected by COVID-19.
    45


    These statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and the Company.

    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, 2020, 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.

    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; net interest income (fully-taxable equivalent); pre-tax, pre-provision earnings; adjusted yield on interest-earning assets and adjusted net interest margin (fully-taxable equivalent); tangible book value per share; tangible common equity ratio; core deposits and average core deposits; and total loans, excluding SBA PPP loans. These non-GAAP financial measures are utilized for purposes of measuring performance against the Company's peer group and other financial institutions, as well as for analyzing its internal performance. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allows 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 (a) tax effected amortization of core deposit intangible assets and (b) goodwill impairment, as necessary, to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and core deposit intangible assets. This adjusted financial ratio reflects a shareholders' return on tangible capital deployed in our business and is a common measure within the financial services industry.

    Pre-tax, Pre-provision Earnings. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings is a supplemental measure of operating earnings and performance, and is calculated as net income before provision for credit losses and income tax expense. This supplemental measure has become more widely used by financial institutions as a measure of financial performance for comparability across financial institutions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision for credit losses, as well as the differences in accounting methodology for the ACL across financial institutions.

    CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. 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 ACL, including the ACL on loans, off-balance sheet credit exposures and investments; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) accounting for defined benefit and postretirement plans.

    There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies as disclosed within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

    Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of accounting pronouncements issued but yet to be adopted and implemented.

    EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
     
    Operating Results. Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $18.1 million, an increase of $7.2 million, or 66%, over the second quarter of 2020, and diluted EPS was $1.21 for the second quarter of 2021, an increase $0.48, or 66%, over the same period. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) for the second quarter were $19.3 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 17%.

    The key earnings drivers between periods were:
    •A release of provision for credit losses of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a $9.4 million provision charge for the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 marked the first full quarter of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, in response to the significant level of risk and uncertainty at that time, the Company increased its reserve levels on its loan portfolio using the incurred loss accounting model. Fast forward 12 months and there continues to be a degree of risk and uncertainty, however, as of June 30, 2021, the Company's asset quality remains very strong and current and forecasted economic conditions have improved considerably. As such, under the current expected credit loss accounting model, commonly referred to as "CECL," the Company has begun to release its loan reserves it built up in 2020.
    •Mortgage banking income for the second quarter of 2021 was $2.6 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 45%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company shifted its strategy to hold more residential mortgage loans within its loan portfolio, and, as a result, the Company sold 40% of its residential mortgage production during the second quarter of 2021, compared to 65% for the second quarter of 2020.
    51


    •Net interest income for the second quarter was $33.5 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was driven by net interest margin (fully-taxable equivalent) compression of 28 basis points between periods to 2.83% for the second quarter of 2021 as interest rates dropped and average deposits grew considerably as consumers and businesses received federal government stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    •Debit card income for the second quarter of 2021 was $3.1 million, an increase of $721,000, or 30%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in customer spending as consumers and businesses received proceeds from various government stimulus programs.
    •Salaries and employee benefit costs for the second quarter were $15.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 12%, due to higher performance-based incentive accruals.

    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $37.9 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 55%, over the six months ended June 30, 2020, and diluted EPS was $2.52 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $0.90, or 56%, over the same period last year. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $41.9 million, compared to $41.8 million for the same period last year..

    The key earnings drivers between periods, and the reasons for such, were relatively consistent with the discussion above between quarters and included:
    •A release of provision for credit losses of $5.4 million for the first half of 2021, compared to a $11.2 million provision charge for the first half of 2020.
    •Mortgage banking income for the first half of 2021 was $9.7 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 18%, over the first half of 2020.
    •Net interest income for the first half of 2021 was $65.9 million, a decrease of $472,000, or 1%, compared to the first half of 2020. The decrease was driven by net interest margin (fully-taxable equivalent) compression of 25 basis points between periods to 2.85% for the first half of 2021, which included SBA PPP loan income of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
    •Debit card income for the first half of 2021 was $5.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 29%, compared to the first half of 2020.
    •Salaries and employee benefit costs for the first half of 2021 were $29.8 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 7%.

The majority of these loans have returned to normal payment status or have since fully paid-off. Of those loans that were previously operating under a short-term deferral arrangement, $1.3 million were classified as non-accrual and $536,000 were 30-89 days past due as of June 30, 2021.

    Capital Position. At June 30, 2021, the Company's capital position remained well in excess of regulatory capital requirements, including a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.26% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.48%.

    In the first quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a new share repurchase program for up to 750,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the Company's shares outstanding. This share repurchase program replaces the program that terminated in January 2021. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the first half of 2021.

    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, adjusted for 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 is our largest source of revenue, which is defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income was $33.5 million, or 75% of total revenues, and $65.9 million, or 71% of total revenues, respectively, compared to $34.5 million, or 74% of total revenues, and $66.4 million, or 74% of total revenues, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Net interest income 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.

    Net Interest Income

    For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP) was $33.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by a $2.9 million decrease in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis between periods that was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $1.9 million between periods.
    •The decrease in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis between periods was the result of a 47 basis point decrease in yield on average interest-earning assets driven by the lower interest rate environment and a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets as higher yield average loan balances were replaced with lower interest-earning assets, including cash and investments. Average loans balances decreased $59.3 million, or 2%, between periods while average interest-earning cash and investment balances increased $351.0 million, or 31%.
    •The decrease in interest expense between periods was the result of a 20 basis point decrease in our average cost of funds driven by lower interest rates and the change in funding mix as average deposits grew $308.1 million, or 8%, led by average core deposits (non-GAAP) growth of $446.6 million, or 14%, reducing the need for more costly borrowings. As a result, average borrowings decreased $64.8 million, or 11%, between periods. Average deposit growth between periods was fueled by the various federal government stimulus programs issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP) was $66.4 million, a decrease of $510,000, or 1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by a $7.8 million decrease in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis between periods that was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $7.3 million between periods.
    •The decrease in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis between periods was the result of a 61 basis point decrease in yield on average interest-earning assets driven by the lower interest rate environment and a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets as higher yield average loan balances were replaced with lower interest-earning assets, including cash and investments. Average loans balances increased $29.7 million, or 1%, between periods while average interest-earning cash and investment balances increased $317.6 million, or 30%.
    53


    •The decrease in interest expense between periods was the result of a 38 basis point decrease in our average cost of funds driven by lower interest rates and the change in funding mix as average deposits grew $362.0 million, or 10%, led by average core deposits (non-GAAP) growth of $531.5 million, or 18%, reducing the need for more costly borrowings. As a result, average borrowings decreased $51.8 million, or 9%, between periods. Average deposit growth between periods was fueled by the various federal government stimulus programs issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Net Interest Margin

    For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was 2.83%, a decrease of 28 basis points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company's yield on average interest-earning assets compressed 47 basis points between periods to 3.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, while its cost of funds decreased 20 basis points between periods to 0.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

    The Company's adjusted net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which excludes the impact of SBA PPP loans and excess cash, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was 2.89%, compared to 3.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was 2.85%, a decrease of 25 basis points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company's yield on average interest-earning assets compressed 61 basis points between periods to 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, while its cost of funds decreased 38 basis points between periods to 0.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    The Company's adjusted net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which excludes the impact of SBA PPP loans and excess cash, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was 2.90%, compared to 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    Effective January 1, 2020, but applied to interim reporting periods on or after October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), commonly referred to as "CECL," to account for the ACL. CECL requires the measurement of expected lifetime credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and HTM debt investments, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. CECL requires that the ACL be calculated based on current expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the financial asset and also considers expected changes in macroeconomic conditions. The (credit) provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements income for the three and six months June 30, 2021, was calculated using the CECL methodology, whereas the (credit) provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was calculated using the incurred loss model, which relied on management's periodic assessment of the adequacy of the ACL.

    The (credit) provision for credit losses was made up of the following components for the periods indicated:

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, a release of provision for loan losses of $3.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, was recorded. The release of provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily within the non owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial loan segments. Collectively, the two loan segments made up 102% of the net change for three months ended June 30, 2021 and 80% of the net change for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The release of provision for loan losses with these two loan segments, and more broadly across the loan portfolio, reflects the Company's overall asset quality and an improvement in its macroeconomic outlook (i.e. loss drivers) over its four-quarter forecast period under CECL. The Company's provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, reflected the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and an elevated qualitative factor adjustment ("Q-factor") under the incurred loss model.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, annualized net charge-offs were 0.03% of average loans, compared to 0.05% of average loans for three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
