Against the extraordinary and challenging backdrop of 2020, we hope you and your families are healthy and 
safe. By virtually any measure, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our communities, ranging from 
the ways in which we conduct our daily lives and interact with family, friends and colleagues to the ways in 
which we support local small businesses and economies. It also highlighted the need for effective collaboration 
between financial institutions and government in supporting families and businesses in their time of need. We 
are grateful to the health care workers, first responders and all who serve on the front lines of the pandemic 
for keeping us safe despite facing substantial risk. We are also incredibly proud of the myriad of ways in which 
Ledyard’s bankers have responded to the significant challenges with conviction and resilience, supported 
essential services and played crucial roles in the ongoing recovery. 

We know difficult times often bring out the best in people, and in 2020, we saw that to be true. Ledyard’s motto, 
Plan well. Live well., has never been more relevant and purposeful than in the past year. The tagline’s guiding 
principle, defined by thoughtful planning, helped us adapt quickly to a new environment that was ever-changing 
and complex. Relying on strong teamwork and collaboration across all our divisions, and supported by enhanced 
technological capabilities and communication channels, we developed a relief program in a matter of weeks 
that would have typically taken many months to roll out. In essence, the pandemic showcased our knowledge, 
skillsets and abilities to provide guidance when it mattered most. 

It brought us great satisfaction to realize that our business clients 
rested a bit easier knowing that Ledyard was working tirelessly and 
consistently on their behalf as they digested information released by 
the government in real-time, interpreted the rules and requirements 
and distilled the information into understandable and actionable 
instructions delivered to client inboxes by morning. Ledyard’s work 
related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) helped make our 
local businesses stronger and better positioned for the future. The 
results of our PPP efforts are shown in the graph to the right.

Financially, Ledyard was on solid ground well before the pandemic struck in early 2020. Our ongoing effort to 

build and maintain strong capital levels truly paid off during this time of severe stress. As we proudly state every 

year, the bank was well-capitalized, focused on asset quality as well as risk reduction and strategically positioned 

to weather just such a storm. To a large extent, our success in 2020 reflected a fundamental truth: Community 

banks like Ledyard play a vital role in the economic health, stability and prosperity of our country. To that end, we 

worked closely with our local nonprofit partners to better identify and support the organizations most impacted 

by the pandemic, including funding for hospitals and health care professionals. We also engaged our Marketing 

team to collaborate with local chambers of commerce to launch “Shop Local” campaigns across the region, 

designed to educate the public on the value of purchasing locally as well as to create awareness for businesses 

that struggled. 

In 2021, our focus will remain on strengthening our financials, maintaining our liquidity position and taking 

the necessary steps to preserve core earnings. Last year’s record performance demonstrates that our financial 

condition remains strong and our core businesses continue to thrive in a difficult operating environment. 

LEDYARD FINANCIAL GROUP’S 2020 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

•  Increased net income to $6.7 million, an increase of 16% over 2019 and a record high

•  Grew revenue to $31.8 million, an increase of 11% over the prior year and an all-time high

•  Increased earnings per share by $0.28 to $2.13 per share

•   Our dividend to shareholders increased by $0.02 to $0.76 per share; we have maintained or increased  

the quarterly dividend since first declaring one in 1995

•  Ledyard Financial Advisors revenue grew by 6.7% to $11.6 million, an all-time high

•   Our regulatory capital ratios remained well in excess of the amounts required to be considered  

well-capitalized, the highest designation possible

From an operational standpoint, Ledyard had the tools in place to seamlessly serve its clients and provide for 

all their financial needs. The bank helped customers better understand the digital banking landscape to take 

advantage of its online and mobile tools. Our major, multiyear investments in our people, technology and 

processes proved to be invaluable in navigating what many consider to be a “new normal.” As the year evolved, 

we were incredibly pleased with the large-scale adoption of so many of Ledyard’s digital tools. Our upgraded 

online, mobile and telephone banking capabilities formed the backbone of the bank’s socially distanced banking 

procedures. In addition to other core technology offerings such as person-to-person payments and eWallet, we 

also successfully integrated our first of many interactive teller machines (ITM) into our new Concord branch. 

The ITM is essentially a “branch in a box” system that uses touchscreens and video technology to offer a virtual 

version of the in-person banking experience — an ATM with live video chat that offers safety, convenience and

While we focused heavily in 2020 on our 
clients, we also had the opportunity and 
privilege to give back to our industry. Last 
year, Kathy Underwood was appointed 
to the Federal Reserve’s First District 
Community Depository Institutions 
Advisory Council (CDIAC). The CDIAC’s 
members represent the six states in  
New England and provide a diverse 
perspective on the economy, lending 
conditions and other issues facing 
community banks, credit unions and 
thrift institutions. Kathy was also 
named as the recipient of the Sandra J. 
Pattie Distinguished Leadership Award 
at Banking New England’s annual New 
England Women in Banking Conference. 
The award was presented to her as 
a female role model who made an 
exceptional mark on the region’s  
banking industry. 

L E D Y A R D   N A T I O N A L   B A N K   2 0 2 0   A N N U A L   R E P O R T 

increased teller service hours. Even with our full suite 
of virtual banking possibilities, we also understood that 
some clients required in-person meetings or support. In 
such situations, we happily accommodated those clients 
by scheduling appointments in advance and preparing 
safe office spaces in which to conduct business. 

While much of what we just described relates to our 
Personal Banking division, it is important to recognize 
that Ledyard’s service levels, whether digital or in-person, 
were elevated across all our business lines. For example, 
one of Ledyard Financial Advisors’ most significant 
accomplishments was helping wealth management 
clients endure this historic period extremely well and 
prosper through it. While the country experienced 
the fastest bear market in history, followed by a deep 
recession and eventual recovery, our Financial Advisors 
communicated frequently, providing timely advice 
and making crucial adjustments to client portfolios as 
necessary. In the end, nearly all clients, with guidance 
from their Ledyard teams, stuck to their financial  
plans and closed the year with solid returns. We  
believe our strong community reputation, emphasis  
on continually building upon the client relationship  
and our commitment to ensure each client’s success  
are three of the most important factors that contributed 
to Ledyard Financial Advisors’ growth in 2020, collecting 
new assets of $154.6 million.

As we mentioned earlier, it is very gratifying to witness 
the ways in which Ledyard’s hard work and commitment 
to its neighbors has made a lasting, positive impact 
on the areas we serve. As an extension of that work, 
Ledyard received meaningful acknowledgments from 
our industry and community. Ledyard was named by 
American Banker as one of the Best Banks to Work For in 
2020, and for the second year in a row, we were named 
one of Business NH Magazine’s 2020 Best Companies to 
Work For. We also received the Banking Choice Award  

for Overall Quality in New Hampshire from Rivel Banking Benchmarks and American Business Media, publishers 

of Banking New England Magazine. Finally, Ledyard was ranked among the Top 200 publicly traded banks and 

thrifts under $2 billion in assets in the United States by American Banker Magazine for the sixth year in a row. 

While there is still much uncertainty heading into 2021, we feel very good about our future opportunities and 

the ways in which we will continue to invest in it. Further, as we continue to see encouraging signs of improved 

economic activity, we look forward to becoming an even larger and more integral part of our clients’ financial 

lives. In fact, we are better positioned than ever to address the ever-increasing needs of our personal, business 

and wealth management clients through education, advice, guidance, technology and product set. The following 

is a sampling of key goals that remain consistent with years past:

•  Continue to improve key financial metrics and increase profitability

•  Remain focused on growing core revenue and improving efficiency

•  Grow our dividend steadily and share Ledyard’s success with our shareholders

•  Serve the core financial needs of our clients

•  Maintain strong capital and liquidity

•   Manage risk with appropriate controls, continue to improve credit quality and ensure risk management 

capabilities are in line with regulatory expectations

•  Invest in our brand

•  Invest in technology and cybersecurity

•  Invest in our people

Thank you to our shareholders, clients, employees and board members for their trust, support and confidence in 

our company. You have been, and will continue to be, the key to Ledyard’s success.
