To Our Business Partners:
As one of America’s oldest banks, we have been a stable partner for almost two hundred years to 
generations of families, nonprofits, businesses, and institutions that have entrusted us with their finances.  
In 1989, that partnership expanded when the Bank converted to public ownership.  We have never lost 
sight of our obligations to both clients and ownership.  
We earned $28.2 million for our owners in 2024.  As short-term rates started to fall and long-term rates 
remained elevated, our net interest margin began expanding again in 2024 and this expansion accelerated 
late in the year.  Our return on average equity of 6.68% and return on average assets of 0.65% remained 
below our long-term performance and our expectations for the business. They reflect the extraordinary 
challenge we faced in 2023 and early 2024 given the highly unusual interest rate environment and our 
business model.  We expect our performance to return to our long-term average as margins continue 
expanding with strong operating leverage.  Strong results in our investment operations sustained us in 
2024 during a period when core returns were not satisfactory. 
Net loans fell by 1% to $3.874 billion.  Retail and commercial deposits, excluding our wholesale deposits, 
grew by 7% to $1.997 billion.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by 17%, the product of 
investments described over the last year.  Book value per share rose 5% in 2024 from $188.50 to $198.03 
per share.  This excludes capital returned to the owners through regular dividends - we declared $2.52 in 
dividends per share in 2024.  The trailing five year compound annual growth rate in book value per share, 
an important measure of long-term value creation, was 11.3%.  In 2024, the efficiency ratio was 63.79% 
and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets remained at 67 basis points. Our structural 
operating efficiency remains a core advantage of our model.
As we regularly note, our business generates returns for our owners through the efficient transformation 
of maturity, using deposits and borrowings to fund a loan portfolio composed primarily of real estate 
loans secured by multifamily properties.  During normal economic conditions, the yield curve - a graphical 
representation of interest rates on debt for a range of maturities - has a positive slope and we benefit from 
turning short-term deposits and borrowings into somewhat longer term mortgages. From time to time, the 
yield curve “inverts” and short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates.  We emerged 
from the longest inversion on record in late 2024.
We believe these challenges are well understood by our long-term owners and we are making certain 
changes to our model that will reduce our sensitivity to outlier inversions.  While learning from these 
challenges, we do not profit from dwelling on them. Although we have employed certain strategies to 
reduce our risk in the event of additional increases in short-term rates, we see this as a low-probability 
scenario and we remain overwhelmingly liability sensitive. Our core model remains unchanged.

We emphasized last year that the most dangerous response to short-term challenges is to make changes 
that have long-term consequences.  We will not add incremental risk, either in our lending or investment 
operations, and we continue to invest in the people and technology required for profitable growth.  We will 
not enter new business lines where we do not have risk experience.  We have a disciplined underwriting 
culture with zero losses on commercial lending for over ten years.  We have always placed credit risk at 
the center of our approach.  Given the turbulence in the commercial real estate markets, we believe this 
emphasis continues to be well-placed.
Whether our financial results in a given year are extraordinary or disappointing, we can never lose sight 
of the fact that results in any given year do not fully describe the real accomplishments and progress at 
Hingham.  Our long-term objective is to generate superior returns on equity capital through a disciplined 
strategy combining a commercial real estate lending business with a relationship-focused deposit 
business serving families, nonprofits, real estate investors, and institutions.  We build these businesses 
slowly - one employee at a time, one relationship at a time, one loan at a time - brick by brick. There are 
no shortcuts.
Let’s review the bricks from 2024.  
Our Specialized Deposit Group (“SDG”) made excellent progress in 2024, with 17% growth in non-interest 
bearing checking balances and significant growth in new relationships to the Bank.  This is the product of 
opportunities offered to us by the market and our work to exploit these opportunities.  
In the last two years, there has been significant consolidation in each of our markets, through historic 
bank failures or the sale of respected commercial banks with strong community ties.  These failures 
and mergers invariably damage client relationships, result in more expensive and lower quality service 
for customers, and lead talented staff to look elsewhere.  They reinforce our belief that there is strong, 
unmet demand for a nimble, service-oriented bank in Boston, Washington, and San Francisco.  This is the 
opportunity the market provides to us.
We must exploit this opportunity to create value.  Over the last year, we have continued to recruit talented 
deposit-focused relationship managers to join us across all three of our markets.  These relationship 
managers work hand in glove with a team of digital banking specialists that provide highly responsive 
service to our customers. 
If you are a talented senior or mid-level banker in Boston, Washington, New York or San Francisco, 
particularly with experience in deposit business development, please contact Patrick directly by phone 
or email.  He would like to talk to you and we promise a confidential conversation about opportunities at

Hingham.  We are particularly interested in deposit verticals where our low fee approach, combined with a 
highly responsive service model, could create value for your customers.
In 2024, we completed our eighth full year of operations in Washington, D.C., with a high-quality loan 
portfolio exceeding $1.2 billion.  We had strong growth in deposits in Washington, D.C. in 2024 where we 
enjoy our lowest cost of funds by a significant measure.  Washington presents a long-term opportunity 
to deploy capital organically.  We expanded our team in Washington, D.C. in 2024, adding an additional 
relationship manager in SDG late in the year, and we are actively searching for additional bankers to 
join us.  Our minority equity investments in D.C. area banks continue to complement our core business 
operations.
We remain committed to our expansion in the San Francisco market, as we believe that the Bay Area is 
a market with attractive structural economic drivers, including a vibrant technology sector, physical and 
regulatory limitations on development, links to Asia, and a cluster of research universities that produce the 
intangible assets that are critical components of our economy.  We noted last year that we believed the 
governance challenges the city faced were temporary and surmountable.  The changes in governance in 
San Francisco over the last year give us greater confidence in this assessment.
In 2024, we completed our third year of operations in the city, with a loan portfolio of approximately 
$125 million.  We added our first SDG relationship manager early in the year, as well as two operational 
specialists in our Digital Banking Group that serve clients nationally, and we ended the year with 
approximately $27 million in deposits.  We also added the first local commercial real estate lender to our 
San Francisco office at the end of the year and we believe this team has considerable momentum entering 
the new year.  
Our commercial lending activity remained somewhat muted last year, with new originations offset largely 
by payoffs and sales in our construction portfolio.  Despite widespread uncertainty regarding the potential 
of gateway cities, we remain confident that the most attractive markets for our business are dense, coastal 
cities with favorable demographics and concentrations of multifamily real estate.  The demand drivers in 
these markets, combined with the supply constraints stemming from geography and regulation, support 
consistent asset performance over time.  We continue to see steady performance for multifamily properties 
in these markets, particularly in Washington, D.C. and Boston where rents and occupancy rates reflect 
sustained demand emerging from the pandemic.
Eliminating waste remains a core strategic objective of the Bank.  We continue to identify opportunities 
to standardize work and make it more visible, the preconditions for waste elimination.  We look for 
opportunities to use technology to gain operational leverage, but it must serve us rather than the opposite. 
This work is ongoing and continuous. It is not an initiative, it is core to our culture.

Book Value Per Share
In our investment operations, we grew our partial ownership in a number of outstanding businesses 
over 2024 and made several new investments, particularly in banking as market pessimism provided 
opportunities to acquire new positions or increase the size of existing investments at attractive prices.  
Management teams, working on our behalf, continued to improve these businesses in ways large and 
small.
Our investments remain focused on finance - banks, insurers, payment companies, financial infrastructure 
providers, and ratings agencies.  We also have material investments in technology companies that 
facilitate digital commerce and industrial firms.  We benefit from studying and engaging with management 
teams at high performance companies, both in the banking industry and elsewhere.  We recognize that 
these investment results will be volatile over time, but they are a complement to our core business and 
some of these businesses are likely to produce strong returns during periods where our core business may 
not.
We recognize that the health of our business is ultimately dependent on the health and vitality of the cities 
in which we operate.  We continue to finance projects in conjunction with nonprofit partners like the Black 
Economic Development Fund and Amazon’s Housing Equity Fund, as well as directly lending to nonprofits 
serving low income communities.  Over the last three years, we have originated approximately $550 million 
dollars in affordable housing and community development loans.
Our family became associated with the Bank thirty two years ago, when years of mismanagement and 
poor lending threatened its very solvency.  Since then, 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.  Our noses 
remain to the grindstone, our heads to the sky.
Very truly yours,

Gates Eisenhart Dawson is a premier law firm in Silicon Valley and Monterey. 
They service Silicon Valley’s executives with business, employment, real estate, 
and probate litigation needs, both in trial and on appeal. With a talented team and 
innovative approach, they tackle complex legal issues with an interdisciplinary 
approach. This manages risk, significantly improves strategy, and delivers better 
outcomes for their clients.
The firm was frustrated after a bank merger left them working with a big bank, paying 
excessive fees and not receiving quality service. After hearing about Hingham’s 
highly personalized service model, free domestics wires, and remote check deposit 
solutions, they were quick to make the move. In turn, Hingham responded quickly to 
set up their accounts and services during the transition.

“Hingham’s support of the local community aligns with 
the USES’ mission. We value our partnership with the 
Bank.”
“The big banks have nothing on Hingham. They’re exactly 
the kind of banking partner we need - responsive and smart.”
James Dawson
Partner

“We were very impressed with how efficiently our three companies 
and multiple bank accounts were transitioned to Hingham. The 
entire team at Hingham made this process incredibly smooth. 
Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to 
customer service were evident every step of the way.”

David McCarthy is the Operating Partner of three Keller Williams real estate offices 
serving Boston-Metro, Boston MetroWest and Chestnut Hill. His leadership team and 
real estate agents seamlessly blend personalized service and hyper-local knowledge 
with state-of-the-art and consumer- friendly technology to exceed clients’ wants and 
needs in their home search.
Like so many others, David and his team were impacted by a bank failure that left them 
without the personalized service and tools they rely on to operate their day-to-day 
business and ensure smooth closings for clients. The team at Hingham gave David the 
utmost confidence in his decision to switch by reviewing cash management services 
in depth and closely guiding his team through the onboarding process, resulting in no 
disruptions to daily operations.

Nadia’s Initiative is a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to rebuilding 
communities in crisis and advocating globally for survivors of sexual violence. The 
Initiative’s current work is focused on the sustainable re-development of the Yazidi 
homeland in Sinjar, Iraq, where Nadia grew up. When ISIS launched their genocidal 
campaign, they not only killed and kidnapped Yazidis, but also destroyed the Yazidi 
homeland to ensure the community could never return. Founded by Nadia Mourad, the 
winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, the organization’s work is critical to rebuilding 
Sinjar and seeking justice for the Yazidi people.
Nadia’s team needed a banking partner who valued efficiency and understood the 
impact of every dollar on their mission. They chose Hingham because of its low fees, 
streamlined international wire transfers, and fully insured deposits. This allows them 
to save time on financial operations and focus on their goals, paving the way for a 
long-term partnership.
