Bar Harbor Bankshares Reports Strong Q1 Results, Increases Dividend by 6%
Bar Harbor Bankshares' President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis Simard, stated, "We are pleased to announce our first quarter financial results that showcase a strong start to the year. We continue our commitment to profitable growth and maintaining a stable net interest margin. Our calling culture continues to pay off, as we saw over 1,500 accounts to new customer opened during the quarter. The Company continues to build long-term shareholder value which has once again enabled us to increase our dividend per share by 6% over last year's dividend amount, and approve our annual resolution for a stock buyback program of up to 5% of the total outstanding shares. We are well-positioned and looking forward to the rest of the year ahead."
