NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (the “financial statements”) of Bar Harbor Bankshares and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is a Maine financial institution holding company for the purposes of the laws of the State of Maine, and as such is subject to the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. These financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise. In addition, these interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to GAAP have been omitted. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures in the Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. Reclassifications: Whenever necessary, amounts in the consolidated financial statements are reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income, total shareholders’ equity or total assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting: The Company’s reportable segment is determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is designated as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company’s products and services offered, primarily banking operations. Operations of the Company are solely within community banking industry and include traditional community banking services, including lending activities, acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits, business services, investment management, trust and third-party brokerage services. These products and services have similar distribution methods, types of customers and regulatory responsibilities. An operating segment is defined as a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. Consolidated net income of the company is the primary performance metric utilized by the CODM. The CODM uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessment performance and in establishing compensation. The majority of the Company’s revenue is from the business of banking. While the Company has assigned certain management responsibilities by business lines, the Company’s CODM monitors and evaluates financial performance on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, segment information is not presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment and represents the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company: | | | | | | | | | | Standard | | | Description | | | Required Date
of Adoption | | | Effect on financial statements | ASU 2025-12 Codification Improvements | | | This Update is part of the Board’s ongoing effort to address technical corrections, clarifications, and minor improvements across the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. These improvements refine the application of existing guidance, resolve inconsistencies, and improve the usability of the Codification without introducing significant changes to accounting practice or requiring substantial implementation effort. The amendments are not expected to significantly affect current practice. However, updates will be reviewed for any potential effects on accounting policies or disclosure processes. | | |
Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those reporting periods | | | We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements | | | The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the navigability and clarity of interim reporting requirements under Topic 270. The Update clarifies when Topic 270 applies, adds a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events occurring after the most recent annual period that have a material impact on the entity. The Update does not expand or reduce overall interim disclosure requirements but instead compiles and organizes them to improve consistency and comparability. The guidance also clarifies form and content expectations for interim financial statements, including the use of condensed statements, and aligns GAAP with prior SEC requirements regarding material events. | | |
Interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 | | | We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ASU 2025-09 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedging Accounting Improvements | | | The amendments in this Update enhance and clarify several aspects of hedge accounting to better align financial reporting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The guidance addresses key areas including similar risk assessments for groups of forecasted transactions, hedging of forecasted interest payments on “choose your rate” debt instruments, hedging of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, use of net written options as hedging instruments, and the treatment of foreign currency denominated debt in certain dual hedging strategies. The amendments allow a broader set of forecasted transactions to qualify for hedge accounting by focusing on “similar risk exposure” rather than requiring identical risk characteristics. Entities must evaluate this criterion at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, using qualitative assessments where appropriate. | | |
Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 | | | We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ASU 2025-07 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) | | | The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that enter into non exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The amendments in this Update exclude from derivative accounting non exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. However, this scope exception does not apply to (1) variables based on a market rate, market price, or market index, (2) variables based on the price or performance of a financial asset or financial liability of one of the parties to the contract, (3) contracts (or features) involving the issuer’s own equity that are evaluated under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and (4) call options and put options on debt instruments. | | |
Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those reporting periods | | | We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
