Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Over the years, the financial services industry as a whole has undergone much change driven by fluctuations 
in  economic  cycles,  shifting  demographics,  expanding  regulations,  new  technologies,  and  simply  with  the 
passage of time. Like any stable structure, a financial institution must possess a solid foundation off which to 
manage change and build for the future. At Bar Harbor Bankshares, there are many components to our strong 
foundation that enable us to report to you our eighth consecutive year of record earnings and 11th consecu-
tive quarter of raising our shareholder dividend. Other key highlights we are pleased to celebrate include:

•  Average earning asset growth of $99.3 million, led by average loan growth of $59.2 million or 7.6%

•  Stable credit quality with lower levels of non-performing assets and net loan charge-offs

•  A $2.2 million or 5.8% increase in net interest income

•  A $518 thousand or 8.7% increase in fee income

•  Effective containment of expenses with an efficiency ratio of 55.8%

• Satisfying the regulatory guidelines for a “well capitalized” institution

The drivers of this performance, as further detailed in the financial narrative beginning on page 14, were quite 
literally across all business lines. We achieved growth in deposits, consumer and residential lending, commercial 
banking, and Trust and Financial Services. Importantly, growth did not come at the expense of conducting

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Bar HarBor BanksHares  2013 AnnuAl RepoRt

business  prudently  as  we  remained  committed  to  credit  discipline  and  managing  the  shifting  regulatory 
 landscape. We fought the seemingly incessant headwinds of compressing margins caused by aggressive com-
petition  chasing  a  stagnant  economy  combined  with  the  prolonged  interest  rate  suppression  by  the  Federal 
Reserve as part of its stimulus programs. Through it all, our achievements have common foundations in peo-
ple. Not a single accomplishment would have been possible without the unwavering support of our custom-
ers, colleagues, communities, and shareholders. 

A Commitment to Preserving Culture Over the decades, the leaders and dedicated employees of BHB have 
held true to the core values that have become synonymous with our bank. We deeply care about the communities 
in which we operate and strive to genuinely support these markets by asking the right questions, listening, 
being transparent, and being responsive. Regardless of the economic cycle or popular trend, this approach to 
simply doing things right serves all of our constituents quite nicely. This year was no different. Our employees 
again  voted  us  “A  Best  Place  to  Work  in  Maine”  evidencing  the  health  of  our  culture.  As  the  only  publicly

traded company on the list, this honor indicates a company-wide system of mutual respect, clarity of mission, 
and attention to the employee experience. Due to its longstanding success and the financial results that are 
produced, preservation of our culture is a top priority. We carefully consider the impact of even the smallest 
change and consistently monitor our customer feedback to make sure what we believe to be the BHB service 
difference  does  not  falter.  As  we  expanded  our  footprint  in  2012  with  the  branch  acquisitions  in  Topsham, 
South China, and Augusta, we insisted our new colleagues truly understand our culture and commitment to 
it. As a result, these markets posted material gains in deposits, loans, and fees during 2013 and are firmly part 
of the BHBT family. We strive everyday to deliver the promises of our brand no matter where you may be.

A Commitment to Sound Decision Making and Proper Controls Our disciplined credit culture and desire 
to advance performance based on service, rather than compromising standards, have been documented with 
each of our earnings gains in recent years. Again, 2013 was no different. The much published tightening of 
regulatory  compliance  throughout  the  industry  has  required  a  similar  commitment  on  our  behalf.  We  have 
firmly  underscored  that  our  attention  to  these  fundamentals  will  remain  steadfast.  We  have  invested  in  our 
team in these critical areas and routinely implement fresh ideas that raise our effectiveness. The pursuit of best 
practices  and  attention  to  risk  and  compliance  matters  in  general  have  been  significant  contributors  to  the 
stability of our performance and are therefore creators of value to our shareholders. While we were not part 
of the practices that led to much of the current changes in regulation and premium now placed on risk

management,  remaining  a  positive  outlier  in  these  efforts  has  been  critical  to  sustaining  our  balanced  model  where 
earnings and measured growth are directly linked. 

A Commitment to Shareholder Value Investments that sustain culture and improve control processes are not counter 
to the responsibility to our shareholders, something we take very seriously. Much like expansion of geography or hiring 
of customer-facing employees, structural investments in risk and compliance are synergistic with shareholder value. An 
ability  to  demonstrate  proper  controls  has  afforded  our  ability  to  pursue  growth.  In  addition,  many  customers  and 
employees are also shareholders, further aligning our interests and strengthening our relationship. Our commitment to

advancing the value of our brand and thus our shareholder value is fully appreciated at every stop in our organization. 
It is at the heart of the incredible responsibility with which we have been entrusted.

Evolving a Proven Formula With a solid foundation created through the generations, BHB continues to identify and 
evaluate new ways to create shareholder value while remaining loyal to our core ideals; a loyalty not unlike that which 
we have seen from our customers, colleagues, communities, and shareholders. However, a loyalty to our culture should 
not  be  mistaken  as  a  lack  of  understanding  that  markets  continue  to  evolve,  as  do  the  needs  and  expectations  of  
community banking customers. We are further developing our product set, reviewing the need to expand and refine 
delivery channels, and training our teams. We do, however, remain centered in our balanced model that has consis-
tently provided solid results with our goal being to further evolve and produce additional desired returns.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Bar Harbor Bankshares team, it is our privilege to thank you, our 
shareholders, for your continued confidence and loyalty.

An Interview

with Curtis C. simard

What attracted you to Bar Harbor Bank & Trust?
I analyzed a fair amount of financial material, quietly comparison shopped, and simply tried to understand what drove 
the Bank’s steady performance. I quickly found the things that have made the Bank successful were also very appeal-
ing  to  me:  a  genuine  dedication  to  the  people  and  culture  with  an  unrelenting  commitment  to  becoming  stronger. 
Having a solid financial base combined with these increasingly rare traits creates a sense of immense potential.

Can you describe the culture?
The culture is rooted in a sincere interest in the success of our shareholders, our customers, our employees and the 
communities that we serve. It’s common to witness our team pushing one another competitively while being the first to 
lend a hand or encouraging word when needed. I see our customers and shareholders attend any number of our open 
houses to check on friends or stay for a visit after conducting business at the branch. We invest in our communities 
generously, but responsibly. Simply put, we understand and appreciate the people and the cultures in the places we 
call home.

Not resting on past success, what is BHBT doing to remain strong?
Every day we search for what we call our “blind spots”; opportunities for us to better manage risk, improve the customer 
and employee experiences, or enhance communication in general. As we bring these into view, we rally around the 
best way to address them and turn them into strengths. This is at the heart of evolving and becoming stronger.

What are your thoughts about the future of BHBT and ways to uncover growth?
We understand that a balance between growth and earnings is the clearest path to long-term sustainability and perfor-
mance  for  our  shareholders.  This  starts  with  a  disciplined  approach  to  managing  risk  and  compliance  equaled  by  a 
sense of urgency to service our customers and attract new ones. We are constantly assessing our product set, reviewing 
new ways to deliver convenience, and ensuring that we are fulfilling the promise of a favorable customer experience. 
We have a terrific brand and want more people, businesses, non-profits, and municipalities to experience it firsthand.

How has the transition to BHBT been for you personally?
Returning home to Maine has been a tremendous opportunity for my family and me. The warmth with which we have 
been  welcomed  into  not  only  the  BHBT  family  but  also  our  surrounding  communities  is  quite  humbling  and  only 
 confirms what a special part of the world this is.

Leadership Transition

Marcia Bender, sVP/sr. operations & Bsa officer (1984)*

Barbara Hepburn, Hr Project specialist (1978) former VP/Hr

During 2013 Joe Murphy retired as President & CEO of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, and Curtis Simard took the helm.

How has this transition in leadership affected the culture of the Bank?
Barbara: From the start of his tenure, Curtis has exhibited many of Joe’s positive qualities—an open door 
policy,  financial  insight,  a  friendly  smile,  and  a  willingness  to  travel  from  Lubec  to  Topsham  to  meet  
customers and employees, making the change seamless.

How have you grown professionally during your career with BHBT?
Marcia:  My  career  began  working  a  summer  job,  mailing  customer  statements.  Over  the  past  30+  years  
I have had numerous opportunities for growth and have advanced to the position of SVP of Operations. All 
of the training and experience I accumulated over the years is being used today.

Why do you stay at BHBT?
Marcia: The Bank treats its employees very fairly and looks out for their best interests, which makes for a 
great working environment. The people I have met through BHBT have enriched my life.

Developing New Markets

Marcia Mansfield, VP/Financial Consultant (2013)    nichole Lee, Customer service representative I (2013)

Chris Perry, VP/relationship Manager, Middle Market (2012)

It’s been over a year now that the three branches acquired from Border Trust have been operating as part of BHBT.

How would you describe their performance to date?
Chris: Building personal connections with customers and referral sources, and being visible in the community 
is resulting in more business.

Why did you choose to work for BHBT?
Nichole: I heard so many great things about BHBT and the South China branch, how happy customers are 
with  the  service,  products  and  overall  atmosphere.  BHBT  knows  how  to  treat  their  customers  and  their 
employees.

What do you do on a daily basis to help develop this new market for BHBT?
Marcia: I care about my customers and my community, by building relationships and volunteering my time 
and talent. I attend all local events to network and attract business.

Where are you seeing success?
Chris:  BHBT  has  made  gains  through  volunteer  efforts,  event  sponsorships,  leveraging  existing  customer 
relationships, and working with centers of influence to generate referrals.

Todd starbird, VP/relationship Manager (2004) 

Ivy Heal, Customer service specialist (2006)

Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is over 125 years old and has well-established branches in various markets.

What kind of investments do you see the Bank making in these communities to spur continued growth?
Todd:  In  recent  years  several  branches  have  undergone  renovations.  We  continue  to  invest  in  new  
convenience-driven technology for our customers and training for our employees.

How do you stay ahead of the competition in your market?
Ann:  We  take  time  to  understand  our  customers’  needs  and  present  them  with  appropriate  solutions.  
As  a  true  community  bank,  loan  officers  still  make  decisions  locally,  providing  faster,  more  efficient  
customer service.

How are customers’ needs changing and how are we responding?
Greg: Many of our customers are self-employed business owners, so our online banking services fit their 
busy lifestyle.

 Peter swanberg, systems application officer (2004)     

As technology evolves, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust works hard to deliver new banking products and services to its customers.

constantly for customer safety.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
As  a  diversified  financial  services  provider,  Bar  Harbor 
Bankshares  pursues  a  strategy  of  achieving  long-term  
sustainable  growth,  profitability,  and  shareholder  value, 
without  sacrificing  its  soundness.  The  Company  works 
toward  achieving  these  goals  by  focusing  on  increasing  its 
loan  and  deposit  market  share  in  downeast,  midcoast  and 
central  Maine.  The  Company  believes  one  of  its  more 
unique strengths is an understanding of the financial needs 
of coastal communities and the businesses vital to Maine’s 
coastal economy, namely: tourism, hospitality, retail estab-
lishments, restaurants, seasonal lodging and campgrounds, 
fishing, lobstering, boat building, and marine services.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, income generated 
6,000
from service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $1.2 
million, representing an increase of $52 thousand, or 4.3%, 
3,000
compared  with  2012.  The  increase  in  service  charges  on 
deposits  was  largely  attributed  to  customer  overdraft  fee 
increases  instituted  in  the  third  quarter  of  2012  combined 
with increased customer overdraft activity.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  credit  and  debit 
card  service  charges  and  fees  amounted  to  $1.6  million, 
representing  an  increase  of  $110  thousand  or  7.5%,  com-
pared with 2012. This increase was principally attributed to 
1.00%
continued  growth  of  the  Bank’s  retail  deposit  base,  higher 
levels  of  merchant  credit  card  processing  volumes,  and  
continued  success  with  a  program  that  offers  rewards  for 
certain debit card transactions.

Total  securities  gains,  net  of  other-than-temporary  impair-
ment  losses,  amounted  to  $427  in  2013,  representing  a 
decline of $658 thousand, or 60.6%, compared with 2012. 
Net 2013 securities gains were comprised of realized gains 
on the sale of securities amounting to $676 thousand, off-
set  in  part  by  other-than-temporary  impairment  losses  of 
$249  thousand  on  certain  available-for-sale,  private  label 
mortgage-backed securities.

3.15%, compared with 2012. The decline in the net inter-
est margin was attributed to the prolonged period of histori-
cally  low  interest  rates.  While  the  Bank’s  cost  of  funding 
declined thirty basis points to 1.02% in 2013, this decline 
was more than offset by a thirty-three basis point decline in 
earning asset yields to 4.05%.

Non-interest  Income:  In  addition  to  net  interest  income, 
non-interest  income  is  a  significant  source  of  revenue  for 
the Company and an important factor in its results of opera-
tions. Non-interest income is principally derived from finan-
cial  services  including  trust,  investment  management  and 
brokerage  activities,  as  well  as  service  charges  on  deposit 
accounts, credit and debit card processing fees, net securi-
ties gains, and a variety of other product and service fees.

Trust  and  other  financial  services  fees  amounted  to  $3.6 
million  in  2013,  representing  an  increase  of  $356  thou-
sand,  or  10.9%,  compared  with  2012.  This  increase  was 
principally  attributed  to  increases  in  the  value  of  assets 
under  management  and  higher  levels  of  fee  income  from 
retail  brokerage  activities.  Reflecting  new  client  relation-
ships and strength in the equity markets, at December 31, 
2013,  assets  under  management  stood  at  $387.6  million, 
representing  an  increase  of  $32.2  million  or  9.1%  com-
pared with year-end 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The  2013  increase  in  non-interest  expense  was  almost 
entirely  attributed  to  a  $1.2  million  or  8.6%  increase  in 
salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and 
employee  benefits  was  attributed  to  a  variety  of  factors 
Return on
Average Assets
including  normal  increases  in  base  salaries,  higher  levels  
of  employee  incentive  compensation,  as  well  as  changes  
in  staffing  levels  and  mix.  The  increase  in  salaries  and  
benefits  also  reflected  the  Bank’s  acquisition  of  three  
branch offices in the third quarter of 2012. Also contributing 
to the increase were expenses related to certain 2013 equity 
awards to members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

0.98%

Total occupancy expense amounted to $2.0 million in 2013, 
representing an increase of $286 thousand, or 17.0%, com-
pared with 2012. This increase was largely attributed to the 
acquisition  of  three  branch  offices  in  the  third  quarter  of 
2012, two of which are leased properties. The increase in 
occupancy  expense  was  also  attributed  to  the  Bank’s  sub-
stantial  reconfiguration  of  its  Ellsworth  campus  including 
the replacement of its Ellsworth retail banking office, which 
was put in service in the third quarter of 2012.

amounted  to  $1.37  billion,  representing  an  increase  of 
$71.0  million,  or  5.4%,  compared  with  year  end  2012.  
The increase in total assets was led by loan growth and, to 
a  lesser  extent,  an  increase  in  the  investment  securities

ness  market  throughout  downeast,  midcoast  and  central

corpo rations,  and  other  business  entities  for  capital  con-
struction, real estate purchases, working capital, real estate 
development,  and  a  broad  range  of  other  business  pur-
poses. At December 31, 2013, commercial business loans 
represented 53.4% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.

Total other operating expenses amounted to $6.6 million in

2013,  representing  a  decline  of  $331  thousand,  or  4.8%, 
compared  with  2012.  This  decline  was  principally  attrib-

Efficiency  Ratio:  The  Company’s  efficiency  ratio,  or  non-

interest  operating  expenses  divided  by  the  sum  of  tax- 
equivalent  net  interest  income  and  non-interest  income 
20
other  than  net  securities  gains  and  other-than-temporary

impairments,  measures  the  relationship  of  operating 
expenses  to  revenues.  Low  efficiency  ratios  are  typically  a 
0
key  factor  for  high  performing  financial  institutions.  For  
the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  Company’s  effi-
ciency  ratio  amounted  to  55.8%,  compared  with  54.6%  
in  2012.  These  ratios  compared  favorably  to  peer  and 
industry averages.

Income  Taxes:  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013, 
total  income  taxes  amounted  to  $5.2  million,  representing 
an increase of $247 thousand, or 5.0%, compared with 
2012. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 28.3% 
in  2013,  compared  with  28.4%  in  2012.  Fluctuations  in 
the Company’s effective tax rate are generally attributed to 
increases  in  the  level  of  non-taxable  income  in  relation  to 
taxable income.

Total loans ended the year at $852.9 million, representing 
an  increase  of  $37.9  million,  or  4.6%,  compared  with 
December  31,  2012.  At  year  end,  the  Bank’s  commercial 
loan  portfolio  stood  at  $455.6  million,  representing  an 
increase of $24.7 million, or 5.7%, compared with year end 
2012.  Consumer  loans  ended  the  year  at  $381.2  million, 
representing  an  increase  of  $11.8  million  or  3.2%  com-
pared  with  year  end  2012.  Tax-exempt  loans  to  local 
municipalities increased $1.1 million during 2013, or 7.3%.

Commercial  loan  growth  has  been  generally  challenged  by 
economic  and  political  uncertainty,  a  still-struggling  econ-
omy  and  strong  competition  for  quality  loans.  Bank  man-
agement attributes the continued growth of its commercial 
loan  portfolio  to  an  effective  business  banking  team,  deep 
local  market  knowledge,  sustained  new  business  develop-
ment  efforts,  and  a  resilient  local  economy  that  has  been 
faring better than the nation as a whole.

Credit Quality: At December 31, 2013 total non-performing 
loans  amounted  to  $8.8  million,  representing  a  decline  of 
$1.0 million or 10.4% compared with year-end 2012. One 
commercial  real  estate  development  loan  to  a  local,  non-
profit housing authority in support of an affordable housing 
project  accounted  for  $1.8  million  or  20.9%  of  total  non-
performing  loans.  At  December  31,  2013,  total  non- 
performing  loans  represented  1.04%  of  total  loans,  down 
from 1.21% at year end 2012. Similarly, the allowance for 
loan  losses  expressed  as  a  percentage  of  non-performing 
loans  ended  the  year  at  95.9%,  up  from  82.1%  at  year  
end 2012.

The  Bank  maintains  an  allowance  for  loan  losses  (the 
“allowance”)  which  is  available  to  absorb  probable  losses 
on  loans.  The  allowance  is  maintained  at  a  level  that,  in 
management’s  judgment,  is  appropriate  for  the  amount  of 
risk  inherent  in  the  current  loan  portfolio  and  adequate  to 
provide  for  estimated  probable  losses.  At  December  31, 
2013,  the  Bank’s  allowance  stood  at  $8.5  million,  repre-
senting  an  increase  of  $378  thousand  or  4.7%  compared 
with year end 2012. The allowance expressed as a percent-
age  of  total  loans  ended  the  year  at  0.99%,  unchanged 
from year end 2012.

Investment Securities: During 2013 the securities portfolio 
continued  to  serve  as  a  key  source  of  earning  assets  and 
liquidity for the Bank. Bank management considers securi-
ties  as  a  relatively  attractive  means  to  effectively  leverage 
0.12%
the Bank’s strong capital position, as securities are typically 
assigned a significantly lower risk weighting for the purpose 
of  calculating  the  Bank’s  and  the  Company’s  risk-based 
capital ratios. The overall objectives of the Bank’s strategy 
for  the  securities  portfolio  include  maintaining  appropriate 
liquidity  reserves,  diversifying  earning  assets,  managing 
interest rate risk, leveraging the Bank’s strong capital posi-
tion,  generating  acceptable  levels  of  net  interest  income 
and, when appropriate, generating realized gains on the sale 
of securities.

Capital: Consistent with its long-term strategy of operating 
a sound and profitable organization, at December 31, 2013, 
the Company and the Bank continued to exceed regulatory 
0.12%
requirements  for  “well-capitalized”  financial  institutions. 
Company management considers this to be vital in promot-
ing depositor and investor confidence and providing a solid 
foundation  for  future  growth.  Under  the  capital  adequacy 
guidelines  administered  by  the  Bank’s  principal  regulators, 
“well-capitalized” institutions are those with Tier I Leverage, 
Tier  I  Risk-based,  and  Total  Risk-based  ratios  of  at  least 
5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the 
Company’s  Tier  I  Leverage,  Tier  I  Risk-based,  and  Total 
Risk-based capital ratios were 9.01%, 14.97% and 16.62%, 
respectively.

Shareholder  Dividends:  During  2013  the  Company  paid 
regular  cash  dividends  on  its  common  stock  in  the  aggre-
gate amount of $4.92 million, compared with $4.57 million 
in  2012.  The  Company’s  2013  dividend  payout  ratio 
amounted  to  37.3%,  compared  with  36.6%  in  2012.  The 
total  regular  cash  dividends  paid  in  2013  amounted  to 
$1.25  per  share  of  common  stock,  compared  with  $1.17 
per  share  in  2012,  representing  an  increase  of  $0.08  per 
share, or 6.8%.

The  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  declared  a  first  quarter 
2014  regular  cash  dividend  of  $0.325  per  share  of  com-
mon  stock,  representing  an  increase  of  $0.02  or  6.6% 
compared  with  the  first  quarter  of  2013.  This  represented 
the  eleventh  consecutive  quarter  where  the  Company 
increased its quarterly cash dividend to shareholders. Based 
on  the  year-end  2013  price  of  BHB’s  common  stock  of 
$39.99 per share, the dividend yield amounted to 3.25%.

Deposits: During 2013, the most significant funding source

its,  gathered  through  its  network  of  fifteen  banking  offices 
throughout downeast, midcoast and central Maine.

Total deposits ended the year at $835.7 million, up $39.9 
million, or 5.0%, compared with year end 2012. Demand, 
NOW and money market accounts combined were up $14.9 
million or 3.5% compared with year end 2012, while time 
deposits were up $25.0 million, or 6.8%.

Borrowings: Borrowed funds principally consist of advances 
from  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Boston.  The  Bank 
utilizes borrowed funds in leveraging its strong capital posi-
tion  and  supporting  its  earning  asset  portfolios.  Borrowed 
funds also provide a means to help manage balance sheet 
interest  rate  risk,  given  the  Bank’s  ability  to  select  desired 
amounts,  terms  and  maturities  on  a  daily  basis.  Total  bor-
rowings  ended  the  year  at  $409.4  million,  representing  
an  increase  of  $37.9  million,  or  10.2%,  compared  with 
December  31,  2012.  The  increase  in  borrowings  was  uti-
lized to help support the Bank’s 2013 earning asset growth.
