Arrow President and CEO David S.
DeMarco:
"We are pleased to report another quarter of solid performance,
demonstrating the hard work and dedication of our team. We recently
expanded our insurance business with the strategic acquisition of
the assets of A&B Agency, Inc. We are also looking forward to
the close of our branch acquisition in Whitehall, New York scheduled for early
August.
In addition, on July 22nd, we
received regulatory approval to combine our banking subsidiaries,
Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company and Saratoga National
Bank and Trust Company, into a single entity renamed Arrow Bank
National Association, or Arrow Bank. This positions us to enhance
our strategic growth while ensuring stability with the same
dedicated leadership team, staff and branch locations. We are
confident these initiatives will further strengthen our market
position and drive long-term value for our shareholders."

Income Statement
- Net Income: Net income for the second quarter of 2024
was $8.6 million, increasing from
$7.7 million in the first quarter of
2024 and $6.0 million in the second
quarter of 2023.
- As compared to the prior quarter, net income benefited from an
increase of $0.7 million in net
interest income as well as a decrease in non-interest expense of
$0.7 million.
- As compared to the second quarter of 2023, net interest income
increased $1.4 million. Non-interest
income increased $1.0 million and
non-interest expense decreased $0.8
million.
- Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the second
quarter of 2024 was $27.2 million,
increasing 2.6% from $26.5 million
for the first quarter of 2024 and increasing 5.4% from $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.
- Total interest and dividend income was $48.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, an
increase from $46.7 million in the
first quarter of 2024 and from $40.0
million for the second quarter of 2023. These increases were
primarily driven by loan growth and higher loan rates. Interest
expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $20.8 million, an increase from $20.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 and
from $14.2 million for the second
quarter of 2023. The increases for both comparison periods were
driven primarily by higher deposit rates and changes in deposit
composition.
- Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin, on an FTE
basis, for the second quarter of 2024 was 2.69% compared to 2.62%
for the first quarter of 2024 and 2.63% for the second quarter of
2023. The increase in net interest margin compared to the first
quarter in 2024 was primarily the result of continued yield
expansion on earning assets combined with moderating increase in
the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As compared to the second
quarter of 2023, the increase in net interest margin was primarily
the result of yield on average earning assets increasing at a
faster pace than costs of interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest margin is affected by deposits continuing to migrate to
higher costs products, such as money market savings and time
deposits.

- Provision for Credit Losses: For the second quarter of
2024, the provision for credit losses was $0.8 million compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 and
$0.9 million in the second quarter of
2023. The key drivers for the provision for credit losses in the
second quarter of 2024 were loan growth and replenishment of the
allowance for charge-offs, partially offset by changes to the
economic forecast factors embedded in the credit loss allowance
model.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the three
months ended June 30, 2024, was
$7.9 million consistent with the
first quarter of 2024 and an increase from $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to
the other investment income and a small gain on a sale leaseback
transaction.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the
second quarter of 2024 was $23.3
million, a decrease from $24.0
million in the first quarter of 2024 and from $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The
decrease from the prior quarter and year was primarily due to
elimination of elevated legal and professional expenses related to
the delayed filings in 2023.
- Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income
taxes was 21.2%, or $2.3 million, for
the second quarter of 2024, 20.9%, or $2.0
million, for the first quarter of 2024 and 20.9%, or
$1.6 million, for the second quarter
of 2023.
Balance Sheet
- Total Assets: Total assets were $4.2 billion at June 30,
2024, a decrease of $89.2
million, or 2.1%, as compared to March 31, 2024 and an increase of $140.8 million, or 3.4%, as compared to
June 30, 2023. For the second quarter
of 2024, overall change in balance sheet was attributable to
seasonal changes of cash balances offset by growth in the loan
portfolio.
- Investments: Total investments were $556.4 million as of June
30, 2024, a decrease of $63.6
million, or 10.3%, compared to March
31, 2024 and a decrease of $137.6
million, or 19.8%, compared to June
30, 2023. The decrease from March 31,
2024 was driven primarily by paydowns and maturities. The
change from June 30, 2023 was also
driven by paydowns and maturities as well as the fourth quarter
2023 repositioning of the investment portfolio, reducing the
portfolio by approximately $25
million at the time of the transaction. There were no credit
quality issues related to the investment portfolio.
- Loans3: Total loans reached
$3.3 billion as of June 30, 2024. Loan growth for the second quarter
of 2024 was $57.6 million, and
$245.3 million since June 30, 2023. Loan growth was spread across all
loan products. Please see the loan detail included in the
Consolidated Financial Information table on page 12.
- Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit
losses was $31.0 million as of
June 30, 2024, which represented
0.94% of loans outstanding, as compared to $31.6 million, or 0.97%, at March 31, 2024 and $31.2
million, or 1.02%, at June 30,
2023. Net charge-offs, expressed as an annualized percentage
of average loans outstanding, were 0.16% for the three-month period
ended June 30, 20244, as
compared to 0.04% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 0.07% for the three-month
period ended June 30,
2023. Nonperforming assets were $21.3
million as of June 30, 2024,
representing 0.50% of period-end assets, compared to 0.50% at
March 31, 2024 and 0.17% at
June 30, 2023. The increase from the
second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to one large, well
collateralized loan relationship of approximately $15 million, which moved into non-performing
status during the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Deposits: At June 30,
2024, deposit balances were $3.7
billion, a decrease of $95.4
million from March 31, 2024
and an increase of $181.4 million
from June 30, 2023. The decrease from
the first quarter was primarily attributable to the seasonality of
municipal deposits, expected to normalize in the third quarter. The
increase from June 30, 2023 was
partially attributable to $175
million of brokered CDs, primarily used to reduce borrowings
by $160 million. Arrow simultaneously
entered into three-year interest rate swaps to strategically manage
its asset-liability profile and cost of funds. Please refer to page
7 for further details related to deposits.
- Capital: Total stockholders' equity was $383.0 million at June 30,
2024, an increase of $5.0
million, or 1.3%, from March 31,
2024 and an increase of $21.6
million, or 6.0%, from the June 30,
2023 level of $361.4 million.
The increase in capital from June 30,
2023, was primarily attributable to net income of
$32 million, other comprehensive
income of $16 million offset by
dividends and stock repurchases of $27
million. Arrow's regulatory capital ratios remained strong.
As of June 30, 2024, Arrow's Common
Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.88% and Total Risk-Based Capital
Ratio was 14.57%. The capital ratios of Arrow's 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
- Bauer Financial Ratings: Both Glens Falls National Bank
and Saratoga National Bank continued to maintain their 5-Star
Exceptional Performance ratings from Bauer Financial, for the 68th
and 60th quarters, respectively.
- Subsidiary Bank Unification: On July 22 2024, Arrow received approval from the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to combine its two
subsidiary banks, Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company and
Saratoga National Bank and Trust Company, into one bank that will
be known as Arrow Bank National Association. The combination will
create operational efficiencies, unify branding and enhance Arrow's
ability to pursue its strategic growth objectives. The combination
of the entities is anticipated to become effective December 31, 2024.
