Bar Harbor Bankshares Reports First Quarter 2024 Results; Declares Increased Dividend; Announces Share Repurchase Plan

BAR HARBOR, MAINE – April 18, 2024 - Bar Harbor Bankshares (NYSE American: BHB) (the “Company”) reported first quarter 2024 GAAP and core (Non-GAAP) net income of $10.1 million or $0.66 per diluted share compared to $13.0 million or $0.86 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2023.  

FIRST QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Return on assets of 1.03%

Commercial loan growth of 7% annualized

Net interest margin of 3.14%

Non-accruing loans to total loans ratio of 0.23%

Bar Harbor Bankshares’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis C. Simard, stated, “We are pleased to announce our financial results for the first quarter, as we deliver stable earnings which are in line with expectations.  We continue to see yield expansion across all earning asset classes. Our liquidity and capital levels remain robust, and our credit metrics are strong with nominal charge-offs.  Despite an uncertain economic environment, our performance in the first quarter reflects the strength of our balance sheet and our teams as we execute on our strategy to grow profitably while continuing to conservatively sustain the level of our allowance for credit losses.  Our Bar Harbor Wealth Management division combined with our brokerage services crossed a milestone as assets under management grew above $3.0 billion. The Company continues to build long-term shareholder value which has once again enabled us to increase our dividend per share for the seventh straight year by 7% over last year’s dividend amount, and approve our annual resolution for a stock buyback program of up to 5% of the total outstanding shares.”  

DIVIDEND DECLARED AND STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN APPROVED

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) voted to declare a cash dividend of $0.30 per share to shareholders at the close of business on May 16, 2024 payable on June 14, 2024.  This dividend equates to a 4.53% annualized yield based on the $26.48 closing share price of the Company’s common stock on March 28, 2024, the last trading day of the first quarter 2024. Additionally, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, representing approximately 761,000 shares as of March 31, 2024 under a share repurchase plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan is authorized to last no longer than twelve months.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023)

Total assets were $4.0 billion at the end of both the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to loan growth offset by lower cash and security balances during the quarter.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $76.2 million, compared to $94.8 million at year-end 2023. Interest-earning cash held with other banks totaled $45.3 million compared to $52.6 million at year-end 2023 and yielded 5.88% and 6.42%, respectively.

Total loans grew 2%, on an annualized basis and remained at $3 billion at the end of both the first quarter 2024 and fourth quarter 2023. Commercial loans grew by $35.1 million or 7% annualized primarily driven by $22.7 million or 6% increase in commercial real estate and $12.4 million or 12% increase in commercial and industrial growth. Residential loans decreased by $16.7 million or 8% compared to the fourth quarter 2023, primarily due to continued lower demand for prevailing mortgage rates and sales into the secondary market.  Tax exempt loans decreased by $4.7 million or 31% driven by payoffs within the first quarter of 2024.

Securities decreased to $527.6 million compared to $534.6 million at year-end 2023 driven by $485 thousand in net amortization, and $7.8 million of amortizing securities pay-downs offset by security purchases of $4.8 million. Fair value adjustments decreased the security portfolio by $64.9 million at quarter-end compared to $62.4 million at year-end. The year to date weighted average yield of the securities portfolio was 4.02% compared to 3.85% at year-end primarily due to a run-off of lower coupon fixed-rate securities. As of quarter-end and year-end, our securities portfolio had an average life of nine years with an effective duration of five years and all securities remain classified as available for sale to provide flexibility in asset funding and other opportunities as they arise.

The allowance for credit losses remained flat at $28.4 million at the end of the first quarter 2024 compared to the end of the fourth quarter 2023.  Our allowance for credit losses continues to be driven by a combination of portfolio loan growth, nominal credit movement and general macroeconomic trends.  Non-accruing loans increased during the first quarter 2024 to $6.9 million from $5.5 million in the fourth quarter 2023, but declined on a year-over-year basis. Charge-offs and specific reserves on non-accruing loans remain nominal, with these non-accruing relationships supported by relatively strong collateral values.  

Total deposits remained at $3.1 billion at the end of the first quarter 2024 and the end of fourth quarter 2023. The $58.4 million decrease in interest bearing demand deposits and the $25.2 million decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits in the first quarter 2024 were offset by an increase in time deposits of $76.9 million primarily due to remix in higher yielding deposit categories as customers are anticipating rates to decrease and are maximizing their own returns.  Brokered certificate of deposit accounts (“CDs”) increased by $55 million, and senior borrowings remained relatively flat at $269.4 million in the first quarter 2024 compared to $271.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2023.

The Company's book value per share was $28.64 as of March 31, 2024 compared to $28.48 as of December 31, 2023.  Unrealized losses on securities, net of taxes, reduced book value per share by $3.26 and $3.14 at the end of those respective periods.  Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP measure) was $20.48 at the end of the first quarter 2024, compared to $20.28 at the end of the fourth quarter 2023.    

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023)

Net interest margin was 3.14% compared to 3.54% in the first quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a higher cost of funds offset by rising asset yields in the first quarter of 2024. The yield on loans grew 49 basis points to 5.31% in the first quarter 2024, up from 4.82% in the same quarter of 2023.  Costs of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.48% from 1.39% in the first quarter 2023 showing evolution of the market pricing amongst interest-bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and time deposits as customers are seeking out more competitive rates. We continue to experience a shift in deposit composition from non-maturity deposits to CDs. Cost of borrowing decreased $944 thousand or 22.5% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 driven by wholesale borrowings in the first quarter 2024 decreased $68.8 million to $269.4 million from $338.2 million in the same quarter of 2023.

Total interest and dividend income increased by $5.4 million or 13.4% to $45.8 million compared to $40.4 million in the first quarter 2023 primarily driven by the repricing of adjustable loans and originations of higher fixed rate loans within the commercial portfolio. The yield on commercial real estate loans grew 39 basis points to 5.47% at the end of the first quarter 2024 from 5.08% in the first quarter of 2023. Commercial and industrial yield grew 79 basis points to yield 6.68% at the end of the first quarter 2024 compared to 5.89% at the end of the first quarter 2023. Increases in yields were driven by the current rate environment.

   

The provision for credit losses was $289 thousand compared to $798 thousand in the first quarter of 2023 as net charge-offs to total loans continue to remain nominal. Credit quality continues to be strong as non-accruing loans to total loans declined 3 basis points to 0.23% at the end of the first quarter 2024 compared to 0.26% in the first quarter 2023. Total delinquent and non-accruing loans to total loans declined 15 basis points from 0.52% at the end of the first quarter 2023 to 0.37% in the first quarter 2024.

Non-interest income was $8.6 million in the first quarter 2024 compared to $9.2 million in the same quarter 2023 primarily driven by elevated BOLI income of $622 thousand related to one-time death benefits, and customer derivative income $132 thousand at the end of the first quarter 2023.  Wealth management income grew 3% to $3.7 million compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter in 2023.

Non-interest expense was $23.7 million in the first quarter 2024 compared to $22.7 million in the first quarter 2023 driven by salary and benefits, marketing and other expenses.  Salary and benefit expenses increased 4% or $477 thousand from the comparative quarter driven by cost of living increases in the first quarter 2024.  Marketing expenses increased to $567 thousand compared to $409 thousand in the first quarter of 2023. Other expenses increased to $4.4 million from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to increases in assessments, software expenses, and debit card replacement costs in the first quarter of 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item which management excludes when computing non-GAAP core earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.

The Company also calculates core earnings per share based on its measure of core earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP core earnings and core earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.
