Sales Growth

Two primary revenue streams drive bank earnings. While net interest income, which is earned by charging higher rates on loans than paid on deposits, forms the foundation, fee-based services across banking, credit, wealth management, and trading operations provide additional income. Unfortunately, Camden National Bank’s 6.4% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was tepid. This was below our standard for the banking sector and is a rough starting point for our analysis.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Camden National Bank’s annualized revenue growth of 25% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Camden National Bank reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 42.6%, and its $68.05 million of revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates by 2.9%.

Net interest income made up 77.1% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are Camden National Bank’s largest source of revenue.

While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

Banks operate as balance sheet businesses, with profits generated through borrowing and lending activities. Valuations reflect this reality, emphasizing balance sheet strength and long-term book value compounding ability.

This is why we consider tangible book value per share (TBVPS) the most important metric to track for banks. TBVPS represents the real, liquid net worth per share of a bank, excluding intangible assets that have debatable value upon liquidation. EPS can become murky due to acquisition impacts or accounting flexibility around loan provisions, and TBVPS resists financial engineering manipulation.

Camden National Bank’s TBVPS was flat over the last five years. However, TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 4.1% annually over the last two years from $27.38 to $29.69 per share.

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Camden National Bank’s TBVPS to grow by 13.9% to $33.82, decent growth rate.
