Legal Disclaimer Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation, including any oral statements made regarding the contents of this presentation, contains certain statements that are not historical facts that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the statements, including, but not limited to: (1) deterioration in the financial performance and/or condition of borrowers of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the “Bank” or “BHBT”), including as a result of the negative impact of inflationary pressures on our customers and their businesses resulting in significant increases in credit losses and provisions for those losses; (2) the possibility that our asset quality could decline or that we experience greater loan losses than anticipated; (3) increased levels of other real estate owned, primarily as a result of foreclosures; (4) the impact of liquidity needs on our results of operations and financial condition; (5) competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers; (6) the effect of interest rate increases on the cost of deposits; (7) unanticipated weakness in loan demand or loan pricing; (8) adverse conditions in the national or local economies including in our markets throughout Northern New England; (9) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; (10) the emergence and effects related to a future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, including actions taken by governmental officials to curb the spread of such an infectious disease, and the resulting impact on general economic and financial market conditions and on the Company’s and our customers' business, results of operations, asset quality and financial condition; (11) the effects of civil unrest, international hostilities or other geopolitical events, including the war in Ukraine and recent hostilities in the Middle East; (12) lack of strategic growth opportunities or our failure to execute on available opportunities; (13) the ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits and retain large, uninsured deposits; (14) our ability to effectively manage problem credits; (15) our ability to successfully implement efficiency initiatives on time and with the results projected; (16) our ability to successfully develop and market new products and implement technology effectively; (17) the impact of negative developments in the financial industry and United States and global capital and credit markets; (18) our ability to retain executive officers and key employees and their customer and community relationships; (19) our ability to adapt to technological changes; (20) risks associated with litigation, including reputational and financial risks and the applicability of insurance coverage; (21) the vulnerability of the Bank’s computer and information technology systems and networks, and the systems and networks of third parties with whom the Company or the Bank contract, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss, and other security breaches and interruptions; (22) changes in the reliability of our vendors, internal control systems or information systems; (23) ongoing competition in the labor markets and increased employee turnover; (24) the potential impact of climate change; (25) our ability to comply with various governmental and regulatory requirements applicable to financial institutions; (26) changes in state and federal laws, rules, regulations, or policies applicable to banks or bank or financial holding companies, including regulatory or legislative developments; (27) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (28) adverse impacts (including costs, fines, reputational harm, or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations, or other legal and/or regulatory actions; and (29) general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions, including economic conditions in the local markets where we operate. Other factors not identified above, including those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are difficult to anticipate and are generally beyond our control. Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, and you should consider these factors in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by us. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless we are required to do so by law. 2

Legal Disclaimer Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item which management excludes when computing non-GAAP core earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense. The Company also calculates core earnings per share based on its measure of core earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP core earnings and core earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community. 3

BHB: Investment Summary • We set out to build a balanced Bank that is not reliant on any one business, with a strong risk-focused culture, and a judicious approach to managing capital through all market conditions. We intend to do this by: • Growing market share as our customer service differentiates us from our competition • Focusing on core earnings as we balance growth with profitability • Growing core transactional deposits over the long-term • Adhering to a disciplined credit culture with historic low charge-off rates • Diligently managing our interest rate sensitivity • Expanding non-interest income as a percentage of total revenue • Managing non-interest expenses while investing in infrastructure, digital platforms, call center, information technology and operations • We have a talented team and firm culture in place to implement our strategies in all economic environments 13

2023 Full Year Overview • Poised for Continued, Profitable Growth • 1.15% core return on assets1 • 3% annualized total loan growth, 6% annualized commercial loan growth • 3% annualized non-maturity deposit growth • 3.29% net interest margin • 59% efficiency ratio1 • 0.14% non-performing assets ratio to total assets • Continue to “Think Differently” and “Work Together” 14 1 For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix

Q1 2024 Overview • 1.03% return on assets • 9.32% return on equity • 2% annualized total loan growth, 7% annualized commercial loan growth • 3.14% net interest margin • 63% efficiency ratio1 • 0.17% non-performing assets ratio to total assets • Book value per share of $28.64 “Our business is based on longstanding, basic banking principles; take in deposits in the form of real currency and then lend that money back to our communities to make a meaningful difference. We remain committed to this while holding steadfast and resolute in navigating industry challenges, differentiating ourselves in the community bank space.” – Curtis C. Simard 15 1 For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix

Diversification of Non-Interest Income • We have diverse sources of non-interest income that continue to be a significant contribution in any rate environment • Mortgage production is opportunistically managed between balance sheet and secondary market sales • Bar Harbor Wealth Management, along with brokerage, continues to add new customers while navigating a tumultuous market breaching $3.0 billion in AUM 16

Loans – Focus on Profitability • Continue to prudently evaluate our loan portfolio mix & strategy • As of Q1 2024, Commercial Loans have increased from 49% to 65% of the Loan Portfolio since Q1 2019 17

Credit-Oriented Culture Asset Quality Remained Strong at Q1 2024 • Total delinquencies remain low at 0.21% of total loans • Non-accruing loans were steady at 0.23% of total loans • Net loan charge-offs of $76 thousand in Q1 2024 18 • Q1 2024 Allowance for Credit Losses remains well funded at 0.94% of total loans and 413% of non-accruing loans • Continue to maintain $0 in Bank-owned Real Estate (OREO) from foreclosure activity • Pass Rated loans ratio stable at 96%, with positive external feedback on ongoing credit administration and portfolio management Delinquent & Non-performing Loans / Total Loans 1 The increase was primarily a function of timing given the 31st day lands on a business day and a group of customers typically make payments about 30 days in arrears which become reportable as overdue. Accordingly, we do not believe the increase was an indication of deteriorated credit quality.

Commercial Real Estate – Office Exposure Office portfolio remains sound amid industry challenges Total outstanding office loans of $248 million, or ~ 8% of total loans, at Q1 2024 • 86% of total Office Exposure is pass-rated, with just 1% rated Substandard or worse • Weighted average risk rating of 4.09 for Office, compared to 4.10 for total portfolio 19 • 96% of total office exposure within New England market area, with a focus on suburban markets • Largest office exposure is to BHBT’s largest borrower - a RR 3 credit, with total office exposure of $46 million over 2 properties and a weighted-average LTV of 53% • Exposure is spread across 63 relationships and 95 loans • Total commitments of $253 million include undrawn LOCs and SWAP exposure Commercial Real Estate – Office ($000s)

GRAPHIC

Commercial Real Estate – Office Exposure New/Renewal Loan Activity • In Q1 2024, BHBT originated a new $10.2 million CREM on a mixed-use (office/retail/parking) property in Portland, ME with 92% occupancy, 65% LTV, and 1.30x DSCR. There has been no material new activity in the office sub-segment outside of that transaction in the past 12 months. • Three CRE-Office loans with balloon payments totaling $16.3 million were renewed at normal market terms and conditions over the past 9 months. Heightened Monitoring Amid Industry Challenges • Non-pass rated credits are monitored monthly as part of the bank’s Watched Asset Review Committee. Four office loans across two relationships totaling $16.7 million are on track for potential risk rating upgrades from RR6 to RR5 during 2024 based on improving trends in occupancy and debt service coverage. • In Q2 2023, $42.2 million of CRE-Office loans were downgraded, including 4 loans totaling $33.6 million that migrated to Risk Rating 6. These 4 loans have a weighted average loan-to-value of 66.5% and have the financial backing of high net worth sponsors and guarantors and as such are seen as likely upgrades in the near term. • Downgrades were partially offset by upgrades (within pass ratings) of $10.3 million and $8.0 million in Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, respectively. 20
