FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at December 31, 2016 were $3.9 billion, compared to $3.7 billion last year. Total asset growth of 4% over last year was driven by loan growth (excluding loans held for sale) of $104.4 million, or 4%, and, secondarily, by growth of our investment portfolio of $41.7 million, or 5%. At both December 31, 2016 and 2015, our ratio of loans to total assets was 67% and investments to total assets was 23%.

Total loans at December 31, 2016 (excluding loans held for sale) were $2.6 billion, compared to $2.5 billion last year. Our 2016 loan growth, excluding the Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC") loan portfolio, was 5%. The HPFC loan portfolio was acquired as part of the acquisition of SBM Financial, Inc. ("SBM"), the parent company of The Bank of Maine, and shortly thereafter HPFC's operations were discontinued in the first quarter of 2016. Our 2016 loan growth was centered in commercial real estate loans and commercial loans with growth of 13% and 12%, respectively, driving commercial real estate loans to $1.1 billion and commercial loans to $333.6 million at December 31, 2016. Our retail portfolio at December 31, 2016 decreased 3% since last year to $1.1 billion. The decrease in our retail portfolio in 2016 was the result of our home equity portfolio declining by 5% and residential mortgages decreasing 2%. We focused our attention on residential mortgage production that translated into originations of approximately $370.0 million in 2016, of which we sold approximately 65%.

Total deposits at December 31, 2016 grew 4% over last year to $2.8 billion. Core deposits (demand, interest checking, saving and money market) increased 4% over last year to $2.1 billion. The decrease in certificate of deposit balances of 9% since last year was supplemented by an increase in brokered deposits of $73.5 million. Total borrowings increased 5% over last year to $600.0 million at December 31, 2016.

Our asset quality continues to remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.67% and non-performing loans to total loans of 0.97%, representing slight increases over last year of 1 basis point and 4 basis points, respectively. Our ratio of loans 30-89 days past due to total loans at December 31, 2016 was 0.24%, compared to 0.40% last year.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Camden National Bank, continue to maintain risk-based capital ratios in excess of the regulatory levels required for an institution to be considered "well capitalized." At December 31, 2016, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and Tier I leverage capital ratio were 14.04%, 12.59%, 11.27%, and 8.83%, respectively.

FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2016:

Net income for the third and fourth quarter of 2016 was $10.9 million, and diluted EPS for each period was $0.70 per share.

Total revenues(3) for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $38.4 million decreased 2% compared to the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in total revenues was driven by an 8% decrease in non-interest income and a less than 1% decrease in net interest income as detailed below.


    --  The decrease in non-interest income of $850,000 was primarily due to
        lower mortgage banking income of $1.1 million, which was driven by a
        decrease in our interest rate locked residential mortgage loan pipeline
        of $18.1 million compared to September 30, 2016, partially offset by
        one-time proceeds received of $577,000 upon liquidation of a mortgage
        insurance exchange in the fourth quarter of 2016.



    3 Revenue is defined as
     the sum of net interest
     income and non-
     interest income.

    --  The decrease in net interest income of $128,000 was driven by a decrease
        in average interest-earning assets of 1% compared to the third quarter
        of 2016. Average investment and loan balances for the fourth quarter of
        2016 decreased $18.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, compared
        to last quarter, partially offset by a 2 basis points increase in net
        interest margin to 3.26%.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $359,000, or 2%, to $22.5 million over last quarter. Our efficiency ratio(2) for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 57.89%, compared to 55.39% last quarter. The net increase in non-interest expense was driven by:


    --  An increase in salary and benefits costs of $394,000, or 3%, primarily
        due to an increase in incentive compensation based on 2016 financial
        performance; and
    --  An increase in other real estate owned and collection costs of $222,000
        was related to higher sub-servicing costs, as one major relationship
        terminated on December 31, 2016, and the write-down of other real estate
        owned properties based on current appraisals.
    --  Partially offsetting the increases were lower consulting and
        professional fees of $117,000 and lower debit card expense of $192,000.

The provision for credit losses was $255,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of $1.0 million compared to last quarter. The decrease was due to lower net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of $432,000 compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2016, translating to an annualized net charge-offs ratio for the fourth quarter of 0.07%. Additionally, in the fourth quarter one large loan was upgraded from criticized to a pass rating, reducing the required allowance for loan loss by $201,000.

Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2016 of 30.3% was 1.3% lower than last quarter resulting in lower income tax expense of $210,000 compared to last quarter. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the quarter was driven by tax benefits generated upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares. Excluding these tax benefits, the Company's net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $10.7 million and its diluted EPS was $0.68 per share.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015:

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $40.1 million compared to $21.0 million reported last year, representing an increase of $19.1 million, or 91%. Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.57 per share compared to $1.73 per share reported last year, representing an increase of $0.84 per share, or 49%.

Our return on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity(2) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 1.04%, 10.47% and 14.76%, respectively, compared to 0.70%, 7.54% and 9.91% last year. Our efficiency ratio(2) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 57.53% compared to 61.13% last year.

The improvement in our financial performance and related key metrics for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to last year highlights the benefits of the acquisition of SBM completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. Through the successful integration and execution of our acquisition strategy we were able to achieve the synergies and cost savings anticipated.

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 DIVIDEND

The Company increased its fourth quarter 2016 dividend by $0.03 per share, or 15%, to $0.23 per share, payable on January 31, 2017, to shareholders of record as of January 17, 2017. This distribution represents an annualized dividend yield of 2.07%, based on the December 30, 2016 (last business day) closing price of Camden National's common stock at $44.45 per share as reported by NASDAQ.

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, 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, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged, 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, 2015, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). 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 the efficiency, tangible common equity, return on average tangible equity and adjusted return ratios; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted EPS; adjusted net interest margin; tangible book value per share; and tax-equivalent net interest income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors in understanding the Company's operating performance and trends and allow 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. Reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in this document.

ANNUALIZED DATA
