2026-01-22 16:10 ET - News Release

BAR HARBOR, ME / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Bar Harbor Bankshares (NYSE American:BHB) (the "Company") reported fourth quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $11.8 million or $0.70 per diluted share and core earnings (Non-GAAP) of $15.5 million or $0.93 per diluted share compared to GAAP net income of $8.9 million or $0.54 per diluted share and core earnings (Non-GAAP) of $15.4 million or $0.95 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2025.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS (all comparisons to third quarter 2025, unless otherwise noted)

  • 8% annualized fourth quarter growth in commercial loans; 6% annualized year-to-date growth, excluding acquired loans

  • Net interest margin expanded to 3.62% from 3.56%

  • 1.00% return on assets; 1.32% core return on assets (Non-GAAP)

  • 57.24% efficiency ratio

Bar Harbor Bankshares' President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis C. Simard, stated, "We are proud of all our accomplishments in 2025, notably the successful completion and integration of the Woodsville acquisition, but also our commitment to balancing growth with earnings as is evidenced by our strong fourth quarter results. We continue to deliver consistent profitability metrics and a top-tier margin of 3.62% when compared to our peers. Our wealth management team, including brokerage, hit an impressive milestone of $3.5 billion in assets under management. This growth further boosts overall fee income which supports our strong return on assets for the Company. Going into 2026, we are well-positioned for the future as we remain committed to the needs of our customers while delivering value for our shareholders."

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Board of Directors of the Company voted to declare a cash dividend of $0.32 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2026, payable on March 20, 2026. This dividend equates to a 4.12% annualized yield based on the $31.05 closing share price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the fourth quarter 2025.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Quarter results for December 31, 2025 compared to September 30, 2025)

Total assets remained constant at $4.7 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025, primarily due to reduced interest-earning deposits with other banks, offset by total loan growth.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $80.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $136.7 million at the end of the third quarter 2025. Interest-earning deposits with other banks decreased to $35.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $94.0 million at the end of the third quarter 2025 and yielded 4.53% and 4.49%, respectively. The decrease in cash balances was driven primarily by the maturity of brokered time deposits within the quarter and loan originations.

Available-for-sale debt securities were $597.4 million compared to $597.8 million at the end of the third quarter 2025. Fair value adjustments decreased to $47.5 million at quarter-end compared to $53.0 million at the end of the third quarter 2025. During the quarter we had sales of $2.6 million and paydowns and calls of $26.6 million, partially offset by purchases of $23.3 million of available-for-sale debt securities. We had a had a loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities of $428 thousand during the fourth quarter 2025, compared to a gain of $41 thousand in the third quarter 2025. The quarter-to-date weighted average yield of the securities portfolio was 4.03% compared to 4.14% at the end of the third quarter 2025 driven by the call of higher-yielding corporate securities as a result of the interest-rate environment. As of fourth and third quarter 2025, our securities portfolio had an average life of 7.1 years and 7.4 years respectively, with an effective duration of 5.2 years and 5.3 years, respectively. At the end of the fourth quarter 2025 all securities remain classified as available for sale.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock increased $2.7 million to $11.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $8.6 million at the end of the third quarter 2025 primarily driven by the increase in wholesale borrowings.

Total loans increased $22.1 million to $3.6 billion in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to the third quarter 2025 driven primarily by commercial loans which grew 8% on an annualized basis. Commercial real estate loans increased $55.9 million which was partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial loans of $11.9 million. Residential real estate loans decreased $23.5 million during the quarter primarily driven by increased prepayment activity. Loans held for sale were $5.3 million in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter 2025.

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans remained stable at $34.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $34.0 million at the end of the third quarter 2025. The allowance for credit losses to total loans coverage ratio for the fourth quarter 2025 was in line with the third quarter 2025 at 0.94% versus 0.95%. Changes in the allowance for credit losses were driven by updated modeling assumptions and shifts in portfolio mix.

Premises and equipment decreased in the fourth quarter 2025 to $58.2 million compared to $58.8 million at the end of the third quarter 2025 driven by the disposal of assets acquired from Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank ("Woodsville") resulting in a $370 thousand loss.

Total deposits were $3.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $3.9 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by seasonality, tax payment timing, and $86.0 million in brokered deposit maturities.

Total borrowings increased $77.5 million in the fourth quarter 2025 to $269.6 million compared to $192.2 million in the third quarter 2025. The increase was driven by senior borrowings which increased $76.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 to $216.8 million primarily as the result of reduced brokered deposits and loan growth.

The Company's book value per share was $31.88 at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $31.22 at the end of the third quarter 2025. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $22.41 at the end of the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $21.70 at the end of the third quarter 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Quarter results for December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024)

The net interest margin increased to 3.62% in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to 3.17% in the same quarter 2024. As loan balances grew year-over-year the yield on loans expanded by 19 basis points to 5.59% compared to 5.40% in the same period of 2024. Interest-bearing deposit costs decreased year-over-year to 2.01% compared to 2.41% in the same period of 2024.

Total interest and dividend income increased by 21% or $9.9 million to $57.4 million in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $47.5 million in the prior year. Yields on earning assets grew to 5.36% in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to 5.14% in the fourth quarter 2024. The increase is driven by year-over-year loan yield expansion primarily due to the acquisition of $413.4 million in loans from Woodsville. The yield on commercial real estate loans grew to 5.74% in the fourth quarter 2025 from 5.61% in the fourth quarter 2024. The residential loan yield increased to 4.75% for the fourth quarter 2025 from 4.13% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The consumer yield increased to 7.27% for the fourth quarter 2025 from 6.89% in the fourth quarter 2024. Total loan yield growth was partially offset by a decrease in the commercial and industrial yield to 6.34% for the fourth quarter 2025 from 6.62% in the fourth quarter 2024 driven by the decrease in rates of adjustable-rate loans.

Total interest expense increased $338 thousand in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Deposit costs were down $127 thousand year-over-year due primarily to the remix in time deposits as brokered deposits decreased $86.0 million compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Borrowing costs increased $465 thousand, or 21% year-over-year, driven by higher senior borrowings and the acquired subordinated debt from Woodsville.

The provision for credit losses on loans in the fourth quarter 2025 was $416 thousand compared to a recapture of $147 thousand in the same period of 2024. The provision reflects minimal net charge-offs of $304 thousand while credit quality remains strong.

Non-interest income increased $933 thousand in the fourth quarter 2025 to $10.3 million compared to $9.4 million in the same quarter 2024 primarily driven by customer service fees which increased $924 thousand driven by the Woodsville acquisition. Customer derivative income increased $240 thousand year-over-year driven by volume, timing of swaps and the interest rate environment. Trust management fee income increased $275 thousand driven by the 6.4% increase in assets under management compared to the same period of 2024.

Non-interest expenses increased $9.9 million to $33.8 million in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $23.9 million in the fourth quarter 2024 driven by $4.2 million in expenses related to the Woodsville acquisition. Salaries and benefits increased $3.2 million to $16.6 million in the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $13.4 million in the fourth quarter 2024 primarily due to additional salary costs associated with the retained Woodsville personnel. Occupancy and equipment increased $146 thousand driven primarily by higher maintenance contract costs. Amortization of intangibles increased $349 thousand due to the acquisition of Woodsville. Other expenses increased $150 thousand for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to the fourth quarter 2024 primarily due to increases in software expenses. Loss on sale of premises and equipment was $370 thousand in the fourth quarter 2025 driven by the disposal of assets from the Woodsville acquisition.

Income tax expense was $3.0 million for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively. Our GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2025 was 20.1% and 18.8% in the fourth quarter 2024 and the effective tax rate on core earnings (Non-GAAP) was 18.2% and 22.9%, respectively.

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.
