Insights
Q1 2026 shows sharply higher earnings, solid credit, and strong capital.
Camden National generated net income of $21.9 million, nearly triple the prior-year quarter, with diluted EPS of $1.29. Management attributes this to benefits from last year’s acquisition, scalable operations, and disciplined expense control.
Profitability metrics were robust: return on average assets of 1.28%, return on average equity of 12.58%, and return on average tangible equity of 18.17%. Core net interest margin held at 2.92%, while provision expense fell sharply versus late 2025, supporting bottom-line growth.
Credit quality and capital remain key strengths. Non-performing assets were just 0.16% of total assets, the ACL on loans was 0.92% of total loans, and the total risk-based capital ratio stood at 14.27%. These figures indicate capacity to absorb stress while continuing dividends and share repurchases.

5 terms
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin contracted 5 basis points to 3.24% during the first quarter"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
efficiency ratio financial
"The GAAP efficiency ratio for the first quarter was 55.50%, and the non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 53.21%"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans increased one basis point during the quarter to 0.92% of total loans"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
non-performing assets financial
"non-performing assets of 0.16% of total assets"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Camden National Corporation Delivers Solid First Quarter 2026 Results with Net Income of $21.9 Million and Diluted EPS of $1.29
CAMDEN, Maine, April 28, 2026/PRNewswire/--Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; “Camden National” or the “Company”) reported net income of $21.9 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.29 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.28%, a return on average equity of 12.58%, and a return on average tangible equity (non‑GAAP) of 18.17%.
“Our reported net income of nearly $22 million for the first quarter reflects the benefits of the acquisition we completed last year, including our ability to efficiently scale the combined organization and accelerate our strategy to grow and strengthen our franchise,” said Simon Griffiths, President and Chief Executive Officer of Camden National Corporation. “We delivered solid performance in the first quarter through strong asset quality, expense management and deposit growth. Looking ahead, we remain focused on sustained growth and disciplined execution as we continue to meet our customers’ evolving needs through advice-based conversations.”
FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
•Net income for the first quarter was $21.9 million, compared to $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 (“linked-quarter”). On a non‑GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $21.9 million, compared to $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a year‑over‑year increase of 39% and a linked‑quarter decrease of 3%.
•Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $1.29, compared to $0.43 for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.33 for the fourth quarter of 2025. On a non‑GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.29, compared to $0.93 for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.33 for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a year‑over‑year increase of 39% and a linked‑quarter decrease of 3%.
•The GAAP efficiency ratio for the first quarter was 55.50%, and the non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 53.21%, compared to 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025.
•Book value per share was $41.98 and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $30.58 at March 31, 2026, representing increases of 11% and 18%, respectively, compared to March 31, 2025.
•The Company repurchased 33,131 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $44.85 during the first quarter of 2026.
FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025)
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $52.4 million, a decrease of 3% from the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest margin contracted 5 basis points to 3.24% during the first quarter, driven by lower fair value mark accretion income of $956,000 and a 1% decline in average interest-earning assets compared to the prior quarter. Core net interest margin was 2.92% for the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025.
Provision expense was $553,000 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Asset quality remained solid during the first quarter, as highlighted by an annualized net charge-offs-to average-loans ratio of 0.04% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.26% on a quarterly basis at December 31, 2025.
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $12.0 million, compared to $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease between quarters was driven by a decline in debit card income, reflecting the timing of recognition of our annual Visa incentive bonus and typical debit card seasonality, as well as lower customer loan swap income and deposit-related service charge income, which we anticipate will normalize in the second quarter of 2026.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $35.7 million, a 3% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter decline was primarily driven by the timing of certain retirement plan costs related to former Northway employees that were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2025, and lower performance incentive accruals and regulatory assessment fees. The Company’s GAAP and non‑GAAP efficiency ratios for the first quarter of 2026 were 55.50% and 53.21% compared to 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $7.0 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Investments totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026, representing a 3% decrease from December 31, 2025.
Total Loans were $5.0 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, reflecting typical seasonal patterns for the first quarter. The Company entered the second quarter with a committed loan pipeline of $128.3 million.
The Company’s asset quality continues to be strong, supported by healthy credit metrics, including past-due loans of 0.06% of total loans and non-performing assets of 0.16% of total assets. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans increased one basis point during the quarter to 0.92% of total loans at March 31, 2026. The ACL coverage ratio was 4.2 times non-performing loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 6.4 times at December 31, 2025.
Deposits totaled $5.6 billion at March 31, 2026, representing a 1% increase from December 31, 2025, driven by the success of the Company’s high-yield savings product and recent onboarding of new business deposit customers. The increase in deposits enabled the Company to reduce higher‑cost, short‑term borrowings by $68.3 million during the quarter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s loan‑to‑deposit ratio was 89%, compared to 90% at December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company maintained capital ratios well in excess of all regulatory requirements, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12.01%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 13.32%, a total risk-based ratio of 14.27%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.43%.
The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 3.54%, based on the Company's closing share price of $47.45 as reported by NASDAQ on March 31, 2026. The dividend will be payable on April 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on April 15, 2026.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including certain plans, expectations, goals, projections, and other statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and “intend” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures; inflation; ongoing competition in labor markets and employee turnover; deterioration in the value of Camden National's investment securities; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud, pandemics and natural disasters; legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged; turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions which could affect Camden National's ability to attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or raise capital; actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; changes to regulatory capital requirements; changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in Camden National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as updated
by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Further, statements regarding the potential effects of notable and global current events, including hostilities in Iran and recent rulings on the permissibility of certain tariffs, on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Company's control. Camden National does not have any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; core net interest margin; and tangible book value per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in this document.
ANNUALIZED DATA
Certain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on an “annualized” basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period and is presented for illustrative purposes only.
