  • Strong on-balance sheet liquidity of $376 million, or 9% of total assets; 4% cash and 5% unencumbered readily marketable securities.
  • Additional $1.3 billion of immediately available liquidity with FHLB, FRB and other bank lines.
  • Replaced FHLB  advances with $150 million of flexible term and lower cost advances from the FRB of NY Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP).
  • Immediately available liquidity provides in excess of 200% coverage of uninsured deposits which are less than 30% of total deposits.
  • Loan-to-deposit ratio was 88%.
  • Nonperforming assets decreased to $7.1 million at June 30, 2023, representing 0.17% of period-end assets.
  • Net charge-offs to average loans for the second quarter of 2023 were 0.07% as compared to 0.10% for the previous quarter.
  • Allowance for Credit Losses to Nonperforming Loans coverage was 477%.
  • Total assets and deposits remained relatively unchanged at $4.1 billion and $3.5 billion respectively.
  • Non-interest expenses included $2.0 million in incremental expenses related to the delay in filing the 2022 Form 10-K and the First Quarter Form 10-Q.

  • Return on average equity (ROE) was 6.64%; excluding incremental expense related to the delayed filings it was 8.41%.

Income Statement

  • Net Income:  Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $6.0 million, decreasing from $8.6 million and $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively. The decline from the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $6.2 million in interest expense and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest and dividend income of $3.9 million. The decline from the the same period in the prior year was due to an increase of $12.7 million in interest expense, an increase in non-interest expense of $3.7 million and a decrease in non-interest income of $838 thousand. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest and dividend income of $9.4 million.
  • Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the second quarter was $25.8 million, decreasing 8.3% from $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 and 11.2% from $29.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2022. Interest and fees on loans were $34.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase from $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2023  and from $26.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. These increases are driven by loan growth and higher loan rates. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $14.2 million, an increase of $6.2 million versus first quarter of 2023 and $12.7 million from the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2022.  The increases for both comparison periods were driven by higher deposit rates and changes in deposit composition.
  • Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin was 2.61% for the quarter, compared to 2.96% for the first quarter of 2023 and 3.02% for the second quarter of 2022.  The decrease in net interest margin compared to the first quarter in 2023 was the result of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing at a faster pace than the yield on average earning assets.The year-over-year decrease in net interest margin was also impacted by lower cash balances as a result of deposit outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022 that temporarily reduced average earning asset balances year-over- year.

  • Provision for Credit Losses: For the second quarter of 2023, the provision for credit losses was $948 thousand compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $905 thousand in the prior-year quarter. The key drivers for the provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 were loan growth and, to a lesser extent, charge-offs.  The second quarter 2023 provision for credit losses was not impacted by changes to the economic forecast factors embedded in the allowance model.  The provision for the first quarter of 2023 was driven by charge-offs and by changes made to the economic forecast within the model.
  • Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $6.9 million, compared to $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 and  $7.7 million in the comparable quarter of 2022. Income from fiduciary activities, which includes Wealth Management services, rebounded in the second quarter of 2023 after a downturn in 2022 caused by declining market performance.  Fees and other services to customers declined versus the linked quarter and year-over-year driven by lower interchange fees. Other income was consistent with both the first quarter of 2023 and the comparable quarter of 2022. 
  • Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $24.1 million,   an increase from  $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2022.  The increase was related to $3.0 million of additional legal and professional fees incurred in the first half of 2023 associated with the delay in the filing of the 2022 Form 10-K and the First Quarter Form 10-Q. Salaries and benefits increased $0.5 million year-over-year as a result of pension and other benefit expenses. 
  • Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2023,  $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2022.  The reduction in the provision for income taxes was the result of lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2023 was 20.9%.

Balance Sheet

  • Total Assets: Total assets were $4.1 billion at June 30, 2023, comparable to March 31, 2023 and an increase of $134.1 million, or 3.4%, compared to December 31, 2022.  Growth in the balance sheet is in line with growth in the loan portfolio and higher cash balances. 
  • Investments: Total investments were $694.0 million as of June 30, 2023, a decrease of $51.1 million, or 6.9%, compared to March 31, 2023 and a decrease of $57.0 million compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease for both periods was driven primarily by paydowns and maturities (net of purchases) of $56.7 million and $45.3 million respectively. The proceeds were primarily used to fund loan growth and for general corporate purposes. The rising rate environment led to unrealized losses of $5.2 million within the available-for-sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2023
  • Loans: Total loans reached a record high of $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2023. Loan growth for the second quarter of 2023 was $64.5 million, or 2.1%, and $86.7 million, or 2.9%, from December 31, 2022. Loan growth was spread across all segments.  Please see the loan detail included in the consolidated financial information table on page 11.
  • Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses was $31.2 million on June 30, 2023, which represented 1.02% of loans outstanding, as compared to $30.8 million or 1.02% at March 31, 2023 and $30.0 million  or 1.00% at December 31, 2022. Asset quality improved at June 30, 2023. Net charge-offs, expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, were 0.07% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 0.10% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and 0.09% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets of $7.1 million at June 30, 2023, represented 0.17% of period-end assets, compared to $11.3 million or 0.27% at March 31, 2023 and $12.6 million or 0.32% at December 31, 2022.
  • Deposits: At June 30, 2023, deposit balances were $3.5 billion, relatively unchanged from March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. While overall deposit balances have remained stable, the deposit mix has continued to shift from non-interest bearing accounts to higher cost money market and time deposit accounts.  Please refer to page 6 for further details related to deposits. 
  • Capital: Total stockholders' equity was $361.4 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 0.5%, from the March 31, 2023 level of $363.4 million, and an increase of $7.9 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2022.  Arrow's regulatory capital ratios remained strong in the second quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, Arrow's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 13.27% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.08%. 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

On July 28, 2023, Arrow declared a cash dividend of $.27 per share, payable on September 15, 2023, to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2023.

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).

5.

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 June 30, 2023 CET1 ratio listed in the tables (i.e., 13.27%) exceeds the sum of the required minimum CET1 ratio plus the fully phased-in Capital Conservation Buffer (i.e., 7.00%).
