To Our Business Partners: 2019 was another outstanding year for Hingham Institution for Savings. We earned a record $38.9 million for our owners, a 28% increase from 2018. Our return on average equity of 16.82% and our return on average assets of 1.55% place us among the most profitable banks in the country. Net loans increased by 11% to $2.227 billion, deposits increased by 16% to $1.821 billion, and total assets increased by 8% to $2.590 billion. Book value per share rose 16% in 2019 from $99.67 to $115.75 per share. This excludes capital returned to the ownership through regular and special dividends - we declared $2.18 in dividends per share in 2019. The trailing five year compound annual growth rate in book value per share, an important measure of long-term value creation, was 15.2%. The efficiency ratio was 30.26%, a reflection of our disciplined approach to expense control. We made significant progress this year strengthening our technology infrastructure and expanding our presence in our two primary markets - the greater Boston and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas. Despite extraordinary concentrations of talent and innovation, decades of consolidation have left these markets with fewer small and mid-sized banks that can build personal relationships with clients. This continues to create opportunities for Hingham. With a commitment to independence, a balance sheet that can support lending relationships up to $50 million, and speed and surety of execution, Hingham can deliver unique value. Last year, we noted that we were planning for a permanent home in Washington. We have purchased a property in Georgetown and we are working with our architects to renovate the building to house our growing Washington team. If you are a commercial lender or relationship manager in Boston or Washington, customer- oriented with a commitment to excellence, call us. Since our family became associated with the Bank twenty-seven years ago, it has been our objective to build one of America’s great banks, characterized by superior long-term financial results, a fortress balance sheet that provides unquestionable assurance to our depositors, and an enduring culture of growth and success. We are well on our way. Very truly yours, Robert H. Gaughen, Jr. Patrick R.

When his father passed away, Frank began renovating the property into 3 luxury units, one of which he will live in. Prior to working with Hingham, Frank had difficulty finding a bank that would finance his renovation project. The lenders and leadership at Hingham spent time with Frank to understand his objectives and vision and put together financing that allowed him to make his dream home a reality.
