Notes Bankwell Financial Group CEO, Christopher Gruseke:
“This was a record quarter and a strong finish to an outstanding year for Bankwell. In addition to fourth quarter net income of $2.6 million, our loan portfolio surpassed $1.1 billion as our lending team continues to generate high quality assets for the Bank. At 0.38%, our non-performing asset ratio is a testament to our disciplined growth strategy, as is our improved efficiency ratio of 62.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 69.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014. This year, as part of our capital management strategy, which included issuance of $25.5 million in subordinated notes, Bankwell’s Board approved and paid our first cash dividend. Looking ahead to 2016, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities to build on our performance and to continue to deliver outstanding value to our shareholders, customers, employees and the communities we serve.”

Financial Condition
Assets totaled $1.3 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of 21.0% compared to assets of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2014.

Capital
Shareholders’ equity continued to remain strong at $131.8 million as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.6 million compared to December 31, 2014, primarily a result of net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $9.0 million and capital raised from the exercise of warrants in the fourth quarter of 2015 of $3.8 million, offset by the redemption of the SBLF preferred stock of $11.0 million.

| (1) Efficiency ratio is defined as non-interest expenses, less merger and acquisition related expenses and other real estate owned expenses, divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains and losses on other real estate owned. In our judgment, the adjustments made to operating revenue allow investors and analysts to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business. |
