For many of us in the banking industry, 2023 presented some of the most difficult challenges ever faced, with the steepest interest rate hike in history by the Federal Reserve, a banking crisis impacting overleveraged regional banks, and inflationary pressure negatively affecting every individual, family and business in our community. At Cape Cod 5, we navigated these challenges in the same way that we have since our inception in 1855: by focusing on fortifying our already strong balance sheet, evolving to continue meeting the financial needs of our clients, supporting the vitality and strength of the communities we serve, empowering the growth and development of our team members, and remaining anticipatory and adaptive to an ever-changing environment around us.
points above the national average. This affirmed for us that, during a time when individuals and businesses were uncertain about the banking industry, they felt confident turning to Cape Cod 5, and we have been pleased to offer our clients with the added peace of mind of having options for 100% FDIC insurance, the gold standard for deposit coverage. Steve Johannessen, Chief Financial Officer, has helped lead our efforts throughout the year, and provides additional details about our financial strength with a full review of the numbers later in the report.

In a year when many of our peer banks struggled, Cape Cod 5’s financial strength ensured our ability to carry out our mission for the benefit of our clients, communities and employees. With all colleagues working together as One Bank, we generated $26.2 million in net income, providing for a return on average assets of 0.48%, and just as it always has, every penny of those earnings remains in our capital, allowing Cape Cod 5 to continue to grow and further the positive impact on our clients and communities. We experienced the 6th highest deposit growth in Massachusetts, which was 4.6 percentage
2023 also brought opportunities for us to ensure that Cape Cod 5 will carry out our mission of enriching lives across the communities we serve for many years to come. In September, we announced a strategic partnership with Fidelity Bank, a community bank headquartered in Leominster, MA. With this partnership, Fidelity Bank will become our sister bank under our existing parent company, Mutual Bancorp. This growth and partnership will allow us to share common back-office operational resources while maintaining our unique brand identities and tailored products and services, while expanding our offerings in each of our respective communities.
As a community bank committed to mutuality and always guided by our mission and values, we continued to expand to effectively meet our clients wherever they were: both digitally through upgrades to our online and mobile tools, and in person through new or redesigned and improved

MESSAGE FROM THE CFO STEPHEN H. JOHANNESSEN, CFO, CAPE COD 5
An unprecedented shift in the rate environment made 2023 an incredibly challenging year for our industry. Cape Cod 5’s forward-looking approach to risk management positioned the Bank to take very early measures during the interest rate turn, driving sound financial results for the year. During this period of uncertainty, team members from every area across the organization turned their focus to one objective: assisting individuals and businesses in feeling confident in the return on, and security of, their deposits. Because of these efforts, our deposit base grew by more than $114.0 million, the 6th largest deposit growth total in Massachusetts. Other key results for the Bank and our business lines are highlighted below.
Achieved net income of $26.2 million, providing for a return on average assets of 0.48%, surpassing our projected budget for the year despite the headwinds presented by the external environment.
• Grew total assets to $5.5 billion, a 5.2% increase from 2022, making Cape Cod 5 the 10th largest mutual bank in the country.
