Income Statement
- Net Income: Net income for the third quarter of
2023 was $7.7 million, increasing
from $6.0 million in the second
quarter of 2023, and decreasing from $12.2
million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase from the
second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an increase in interest
and dividend income of $2.1 million,
an increase of $1.1 million in
non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense of
$0.6 million, partially offset by an
increase of $2.5 million in interest
expense. The decline from the same period in the prior year was
primarily due to an increase of $13.5
million in interest expense partially offset by an increase
in interest and dividend income of $7.9
million.
- Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the
third quarter of 2023 was $25.4
million, decreasing 1.6% from $25.8
million in the second quarter of 2023 and 18.0% from
$30.9 million in the comparable
quarter of 2022. Total interest and dividend income was
$42.1 million for the third quarter
of 2023, an increase from $40.0
million in the second quarter of 2023 and from $34.2 million for the third quarter of 2022.
These increases were primarily driven by loan growth and higher
loan rates. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 was
$16.8 million, an increase from
$14.2 million for the second quarter
of 2023 and from $3.3 million for the
comparable quarter ended 2022. The increases for both
comparison periods were driven primarily by higher deposit rates
and changes in deposit composition.
- Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin was 2.53%
for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.61% for the second
quarter of 2023 and 3.14% for the third quarter of 2022. The
decrease in net interest margin compared to the second quarter in
2023 as well as the third quarter of 2022 was primarily the result
of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing at a faster
pace than the yield on average earning assets. In addition,
deposits have continued to migrate to higher costs products, such
as money market savings and time deposits.

- Provision for Credit Losses: For the third quarter of
2023, the provision for credit losses was $354 thousand compared to $948 thousand in the second quarter of 2023 and
$1.7 million in the prior-year
quarter. The key drivers for the provision for credit losses in the
third quarter of 2023 were loan growth and charge-offs, partially
offset by changes to the economic forecast factors embedded in the
credit loss allowance model. The provision was favorably impacted
by the qualitative factors related to the residential loan
portfolio, which continue to indicate local market conditions
performing well above the Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price
Index, which is utilized in the economic forecast.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the three
months ended September 30, 2023, was $8.1 million, compared to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 and
$7.8 million in the third quarter of
2022. Income from fiduciary activities, which includes Wealth
Management services, was fairly consistent to the comparable
prior-year quarter. Fees and other services to customers were
consistent with the linked quarter, however declined compared to
the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower interchange fees.
Other income increased from both the second quarter and the
previous year, primarily as a result of bank-owned life insurance
proceeds.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the third
quarter of 2023 was $23.5 million, a
decrease from $24.1 million in
the second quarter of 2023 and an increase from $21.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The
increase from the prior year was in large part related to
$1.1 million of additional legal and
professional fees incurred in the third quarter of 2023 associated
with the delay in the filing of the 2022 Form 10-K and the First
Quarter Form 10-Q, as well as an increase in costs related to
technology and FDIC insurance. Total year-to-date expenses related
to the delayed filings were $4.1
million.
- Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for
income taxes was $1.8 million for the
third quarter of 2023, $1.6
million for the second quarter of 2023 and $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2022.
The year-to-date effective tax rate as of September 30, 2023
was 20.6%.
Balance Sheet
- Total Assets: Total assets were $4.3 billion at September 30, 2023, an
increase of $169.3 million, or 4.1%.
as compared to June 30, 2023 and an increase of $303.4 million, or 7.6%, as compared to
December 31, 2022. For the third quarter 2023, overall
balance sheet growth is in line with growth in the loan portfolio
and higher cash balances.
- Investments: Total investments were $666.9 million as of September 30, 2023, a
decrease of $27.1 million, or 3.9%,
compared to June 30, 2023 and a decrease of $90.2 million, or 11.9%, compared to
December 31, 2022. The decrease for both periods was driven
primarily by paydowns and maturities (net of purchases) of
$19.0 million and $83.9 million, respectively. The proceeds were
primarily used to fund loan growth and for general corporate
purposes. There were no credit quality issues related to the
investment portfolio. The rising rate environment led to unrealized
losses of $7.8 million within the
available-for-sale portfolio in the third quarter of 2023.
- Loans: Total loans reached a record high of
$3.1 billion as of September 30,
2023. Loan growth for the third quarter of 2023 was $68.7 million, and was $155.4 million year-to-date. Loan growth was
spread across all segments. Please see the loan detail
included in the consolidated financial information table on page
11.
- Balance Sheet Management: In September 2023, Arrow entered into two pay-fixed
portfolio layer method fair value swaps, with total notional
amounts of $250 million and $50 million, respectively.
The transactions are accretive to interest income, adding more than
$2 million annually. Going forward,
rising interest rates will increase the net interest income
benefit, while falling rates will reduce the net interest income
benefit.
- Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for
credit losses was $31.1 million as of
September 30, 2023, which represented 0.99% of loans
outstanding, as compared to $31.2
million, or 1.02%, at June 30, 2023 and $30.0 million, or 1.00%, at December 31,
2022. Asset quality improved at September 30, 2023. Net
charge-offs, expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans
outstanding, were 0.05% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2023, as compared to 0.07% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2023 and 0.09% for the three-month
period ended December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets decreased
to $6.9 million as of
September 30, 2023, representing 0.16% of period-end assets,
compared to $7.1 million, or 0.17%,
at June 30, 2023 and $12.6
million, or 0.32%, at December 31, 2022.
- Deposits: At September 30, 2023, deposit
balances were $3.7 billion, an
increase of $164.3 million from
June 30, 2023 and $168.1 million
from December 31, 2022. Overall in 2023, the deposit mix has
continued to shift from non-interest bearing accounts to higher
cost money market and time deposit accounts. Seasonal municipal
deposits helped drive an increase in demand deposits of
$38.9 million in the third quarter.
Please refer to page 6 for further details related to
deposits.
- Capital: Total stockholders' equity was
$360.0 million at September 30,
2023, a decrease of $1.4 million, or
0.4%, from the June 30, 2023 level of $361.4 million, and an increase of $6.5 million, or 1.8%, from December 31,
2022. Arrow's regulatory capital ratios remained strong. As of
September 30, 2023, Arrow's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio
was 13.17% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.94%. The
capital ratios of Arrow and both its subsidiary banks, Glens Falls
National Bank and Trust Company and Saratoga National Bank and
Trust Company, continued to exceed the "well capitalized"
regulatory standards.
Additional Commentary
- Cash and Stock Dividends: On September 15, 2023, Arrow distributed a cash
dividend of $0.27 per share.
Additionally, on September 26, 2023,
Arrow distributed a 3% stock dividend. This is the 15th consecutive

and Trust Company and Saratoga National Bank and Trust Company
continued to maintain their 5-Star Exceptional Performance ratings
from Bauer Financial, for the 66th and 58th quarters,
respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measure Reconciliation: Financial Institutions often use the
"efficiency ratio", a non-GAAP
ratio, as a measure of expense control. Arrow believes the
efficiency ratio provides investors with information
that is useful in understanding its financial performance.
Arrow defines efficiency ratio as the ratio of non-interest
expense to net gross income (which equals tax-equivalent net
interest income plus non-interest income, as adjusted).

For the current
quarter, all of the regulatory capital ratios as well as the Total
Risk-Weighted Assets are calculated
in accordance with bank regulatory capital rules. The
September 30, 2023 CET1 ratio listed in the tables (i.e.,
13.17%)
exceeds the sum of the required minimum CET1 ratio plus the fully
phased-in Capital Conservation Buffer (i.e., 7.00%).
