Dear Shareholders,

170 Years of Service and a Bright 
Future Ahead 
There are two significant milestones among 
your Company’s successes in 2018.  The 
Company marked its 170th year of service.  In 
addition, the Company surpassed the billion-
dollar size in total assets.  Such milestones 
are a source of pride, but more importantly, 
they offer insight as to the reasons for our 
past achievements and keys to our future 
success.  Salisbury Bank and Trust Company 
was founded in 1848.  Such longevity is an 
achievement in its own right.  More than two-
thirds of the 18,000 banks that existed just 30 
years ago are no longer in existence.  However, 
longevity is most meaningful when it reflects 
a sustained commitment to excellence.  We 
strive for such excellence and build upon the 
trust earned through 170 years of valuing 
our customer relationships and serving the 
evolving banking needs of individuals and 
their families, businesses and communities.  
Throughout its history, Salisbury’s reputation 
for providing trusted community banking and 
wealth management services has been a key to 
our success.  With it, we have grown our assets, 
profits and geographic footprint to serve an 
expanding customer base.  Customers know 
they can trust Salisbury Bank and Trust Company 
and rely upon our commitment to serving their 
needs.  Over time, banking products have 
evolved and the delivery channels for such 
products and services have diversified, but 
our fundamental commitment to relationship 
banking has been unwavering.  Salisbury’s 
commitment to excellence, trustworthiness, 
service and relationship banking will continue to 
be key components to our future success.

Expanding Our Riverside Division 
During 2018, we expanded and improved our 
customer service branch network in our New 
York based “Riverside Division”.  In March 
we raised the flag at our office in the Town of 
Newburgh, conveniently located at 801 Auto

Park Place.  This new and improved location 
offers a full-service banking center allowing us 
to better serve our existing clients as well as 
an opportunity to acquire new relationships. 

In April we acquired the former Orange Bank 
& Trust Company branch located at 701 Route 
9, Fishkill, NY.  We further leveraged the 
benefits of this expansion by relocating our 
existing Fishkill office from Main Street Plaza 
into this new location in May. 

These enhanced branch locations underscore 
our commitment to serving existing and 
future customers through efficient, convenient 
locations that enable our employees to be 
even more proficient and helpful.

A Direction and Plan for 
Improvement and Growth  
We are pleased to have exceeded the one 
billion dollars in assets milestone in 2018, and 
our continued prudent and profitable growth 
enhances our financial strength and builds 
franchise value. 

As the marketplace continues to shift around 
us, consumer expectations are increasing.  
Banks face demands from a changing 
demographic customer base and tech-savvy 
consumers seeking increased convenience 
and privacy protections. 

To respond to such challenges and better 
position Salisbury for the future, we 
implemented a management reorganization 
in December 2018, which should improve 
operating efficiency and effectiveness.  This 
restructuring initiative primarily impacts our 
retail and operational areas.  We believe it 
will benefit the Bank in many ways such as 
improving internal processes, enhancing 
communication, deepening our bench 
strength, enriching customer experience and 
supporting our succession efforts in key areas.  
Continued investments in our technology 
products, use of data, strong leadership, 

employee development, and overall customer 
experience are all part of our strategic plan for 
continued growth. 

Discovering the Possibilities  
Our strategies and improvements are 
customer-centered, and we consistently draw 
upon and replenish the strong reservoir of 
trust we have built with our customers and the 
communities we serve.  We are encouraged 
by the opportunities that exist within our own 
customer base.  It is evident that when our 
customers are introduced to our digital and 
relationship banking solutions and given the 
opportunity to experience them, they discover 
a better banking experience which further 
enhances their loyalty to us.

Financial Results 
Loan and Deposit Growth 

Net loans receivable increased $108 million 
or 13% for the year while deposits increased 
$111 million or 14% for the year.  The increase 
in net loans was primarily organically driven 
and reflected broad-based growth within both 
our commercial and residential portfolios.  
Deposit balances increased across all product 
categories and included $20 million in 
brokered deposits, which helped fund our 
loan growth.

Trust and Wealth Advisory Division

Wealth assets under administration increased 
by $38 million or 6% for the year, with the 
majority of that growth, $34 million, coming 
in the non-discretionary or custody services 
category which tends to be lower yielding 
than those assets managed with discretion on 
the part of our team.  Wealth management is 
a core strength of our franchise and continues 
to differentiate us from our competitors and 
offers a greater diversification of our income 
stream.  The growth of our Trust and Wealth 
Advisory Division is fueled by our commitment 
to trust and relationship banking.  

SALISBURY BANK AR18    5

Capital

Our capital levels are strong and we are 
“well-capitalized” pursuant to all regulatory 
standards, with sustainable earnings to enable 
us to continue to support the anticipated 
organic growth rates of the Bank.  Book value 
and tangible book value grew 5% and 7%, 
respectively, and reflected the strong earnings 
for the year.

Earnings

Full year 2018 net income of $8.8 
million increased $2.5 million from 2017.  
Approximately $1.2 million of this increase 
reflected a lower tax rate as a result of the 
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 
2017.  Our core earnings for 2018 were 
strong.  Net interest income increased $1.9 
million from 2017 and reflected our strong 
loan and deposit growth.  Non-interest 
income increased $0.7 million from last year 
and partly reflected the growth in assets 
under administration.  These increases 
were partly offset by a higher provision for 
loan losses, which reflected our robust loan 
growth, and higher non-interest expenses.  
Overall, earnings per share for 2018 were 
$3.15 compared with $2.25 in 2017. 

Our Employees Are Our Strength 
Recognizing our dedicated and loyal 
employees, we were pleased to present 
several awards at our annual employee 
celebration event on March 2, 2019.  These 
achievements exemplify how dedication, 
teamwork, and commitment to our success 
and to the success of the customers and 
communities we serve, can provide personal 
and professional advancement.  We could not 
be prouder of our employees.

Personnel Recognitions and Leadership 
Growth 

Nicole Chase joined the Bank as Assistant 
Vice President, Branch Manager of the 
Lakeville and Salisbury branches. Nicole 
brings 18 years of banking experience to her 
position, which will enable her to lead our 
teams and ensure our customers continue to 
receive the level of personalized service they 
have come to know and expect.

Amanda Goewey was promoted to Vice 
President, Berkshire Regional Manager and 
was chosen as one of the select few as New 
Leaders in Banking.  The Connecticut Bankers 
Association along with the Connecticut 
Banking magazine asked bankers throughout 
Connecticut to nominate their peers for the 
leadership award.  Amanda has 15 years of 
banking experience having held various roles 
in our retail, compliance, and loan areas.  She 
is dedicated to the communities she serves 
and supports various local initiatives.  She is 
a positive role model to her staff and others 
within our organization. 

Michael Jordan was promoted to Vice 
President, IT Security and Service Solutions 
Manager.  As Vice President, he will 
continue in his role to manage the overall 
responsibilities of all IT Security functions and 
strategies within the Bank, as well as oversee 
the Service Solutions function.  Michael 
has been with the Bank for 12 years and 
has served as Assistant Vice President, IT 
Security, and Service Solutions Manager for 
the past 6 years.  Michael has embraced the 
Bank’s vision and core values, and strives to 
incorporate them in his daily work. 

We are truly honored to have both Amanda 
and Michael as employees and leaders on our 
team.

In February, Charlene Fitzgerald was hired 
as Vice President, Customer Support and 
Electronic Services Manager. Charlene has 40 
years of experience in banking. She brings to 
her position significant industry knowledge 
and management experience which are 

6    SALISBURY BANK AR18

valuable assets to further enhance our 
Customer Support Department.

As part of our management reorganization, 
Betsy Summerville was named Executive 
Vice President, Chief Retail and Loan 
Operations Officer, and Amy Raymond was 
named Executive Vice President, Chief Retail 
Banking Officer.  These title changes are more 
reflective of their new responsibilities.

Working to Meet the Economic and 
Civic Needs of Our Communities
As a community bank, we take great pride in 
knowing that we play a critical role in satisfying 
the financial, social, and civic needs of the 
people who live in the cities, towns, and 
neighborhoods we serve.   

This past year we held 11 Community Days.  
Each day included a free shred day and the 
donation of items to local food pantries in 
the communities we serve.  We shredded and 
recycled 54,400 pounds of paper and collected 
880 food items.

Salisbury Bank YOUniversity program is our 
free financial education initiative.  We held 7 
free seminars open to all community members 
with 192 participants.  Topics included: 
Internet Security, Creating Business Plans, and 
Navigating Changes in Medicare.

This year marked the tenth year of our “Time 
to Shine” Annual Scholarship Program.  We 
awarded ten students with scholarships in 
the amount of $2,500 each to assist them in 
achieving their college degree objectives in 
a variety of programs.  I want to thank our 
Scholarship Committee for their excellent 
work in selecting students of academic 
achievement, who possess a variety of interests 
and leadership experience, show consistent 
community involvement, and have the desire to 
make the world a better place.

hours of their time to support many causes 
and nonprofit organizations.  This year our 
employees volunteered over 6,000 hours to 
a wide variety of organizations in our local 
communities. 

Thank you to all of our customers and 
employees that contributed to the more than 
1,650 items collected during our eleventh 
annual “Fill-the-Basket” food drive, which 
helped local food pantries feed those in need.

We kicked-off the thirty-first year of our “We 
Believe” program, bringing holiday magic 
to special children.  With the support of the 
community, we were able to put a smile on the 
faces of area children who may not otherwise 
get to experience the joy of the holiday season. 

By all accounts 2018 was a successful year as 
we made great progress with both our financial 
and non-financial goals.  Strong growth in 
our loan and deposit portfolios as well as in 
our assets under administration in our Wealth 
Management area, combined with a more 
rigorous approach to expense management, 
produced record earnings for your Company.  
While we are proud of our accomplishments, 
we are keenly aware that we cannot be satisfied 
with past results but must continue to find ways 
to increase profitability and keep up with the 
incredible pace of change in our industry.  

I am appreciative of the support from you, 
our shareholders, our board of directors 
and advisory board, our customers, and our 
staff.  Collectively this team is our competitive 
advantage and I am confident that your board 
of directors and leadership team will continue 
to guide our Company consistent with our Core 
Values and assure you that we will earnestly 
work to earn your confidence and trust.

Sincerely,

We are especially proud of the employees 
who support our Bank’s mission to give back 
to the communities that they call home.  Each 
year our employees volunteer thousands of

employee of the year

Darrel Long  Vice President, Operations

Our “Employee of the Year” Award recognized Darrel 

Long for his commitment to our core values, his leadership, 

dedication, and service to the community.  Darrel joined the 

Bank in 2004 as Vice President, Operations when Salisbury 

merged with Canaan National Bank with whom he began his 

employment in 1999.  He is rarely, if ever, seen without a smile on 

his face and his warm and welcoming personality endears him to all.  

Darrel consistently challenges the staff while actively supporting and 

encouraging their development.  He is ready and willing to step up and 

help out whether it is at work or with one of the community organizations 

he volunteers for, including the Canaan Fire Company, Canaan 

Foundation, and The Open Door.  We are very fortunate to have Darrel 

on our team.  The knowledge and experience he has gained over the 

past 20 years provides valuable insight and skills to the Bank.

volunteer of the year

Doug Cahill  Vice President, Director of Human Resources

During 2018, Doug volunteered for six bank-sponsored events.  

As a community bank, we pledge to support, sponsor and 

volunteer in the communities we serve.  Doug has consistently 

volunteered for bank sponsored events each year in addition to 

the volunteer work he does with the Sharon Board of Education 

and Sharon Day Care.  Doug joined Salisbury Bank as Director 

of Human Resources in August of 2005.  He was promoted to 

Vice President, Director of Human Resources in May of 2014.

president's award

Shelly Humeston  Senior Vice President, Secretary

On any successfully functioning team, there is always “that” 

person.  There is the person who works tirelessly behind the 

scenes to make things run right.  It takes an individual with many 

talents and the willingness to do whatever it takes in order for the 

team to succeed.  The person that makes everyone around them 

look better.  The person that rarely gets enough recognition for 

all they do and at times may even get taken for granted.  Shelly 

Humeston is “that” person in our Company.

Trustworthy, selfless, humble, detail oriented, compassionate, 

generous, accurate, proud, personally accountable, reliable and 

thorough are several adjectives that come to mind when describing Shelly.

Shelly is indispensable to our team and is the go-to person whenever 

anyone on the team needs to know how to do something, why we did 

something, or where to find something.  She ensures that everyone else is 

getting the things they are supposed to be doing done and done on time.  

We are lucky to have her on our team.

rookie of the year

Aidan Gilligan  Commercial Credit Department

Aidan has clearly made an impression in his first year with the 

Bank as he received multiple nominations for this award.  He 

joined the Commercial Credit Department in February 2018 

without any prior banking experience.  In a short period of time, 

his desire and willingness to learn has been evident to not only 

his supervisors, but to his colleagues to whom he has offered 

much support.  He has a strong sense of “teamwork”, likely 

developed over many years of playing and coaching hockey.  

We are extremely grateful that Aidan chose to join our team 

and we look forward to his continued success.
