Demonstrating 
strength  
and resilience

Throughout 2023, financial institutions, including Camden National 
Corporation, faced many challenges due to the macroeconomic 
and interest rate environments. In response to these dynamics, we 
prioritized actions designed to maintain long-term shareholder value 
and positioned ourselves to capitalize on future growth opportunities. 
Our 2023 actions fortified our balance sheet, optimized our net interest 
margin, and positioned us for future earnings capacity. 

As of December 31, 2023, we are proud to report:
