  • Total borrowings were $74.8 million as of December 31, 2022.
  • Loans to deposits and borrowings as of December 31, 2022 was 83.49%.

Additional Items:

  • Book value per share was $21.36, down 4.9% from the prior-year level, primarily as a result of unrealized losses within the available-for-sale investment portfolio due to higher interest rates.

Net income for 2022 was $48.8 million, down from $49.9 million for 2021. The decrease from the prior year was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $8.0 million, offset by a $4.5 million increase in the provision for credit loss, a decrease in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) revenue earned of $6.2 million and a $2.3 million decrease in the gain on the sale of loans.

"Arrow Financial Corporation delivered another year of strong performance in 2022, with record loan growth, excellent earnings and sustained profitability. During 2022, we made key investments in our technology and our Team, with the upgrade of our core banking system and the payment of a special employee bonus for outstanding performance, respectively," said Arrow President and CEO Thomas J. Murphy. "With the economic headwinds anticipated for 2023, we will continue to focus on what we do best: organic growth, expense management, and deepening and growing relationships. Thank you to the Arrow Team for their continued commitment to our customers and the communities we serve."

The 2022 system upgrade reflects our strategic focus on a strong technology foundation and this investment paves the way for customer-facing enhancements and more efficient and improved internal operations as we continue to work toward fully leveraging the capabilities of our new bank core system.

Additionally in 2022, Arrow further optimized its branch network with the December consolidation of Glens Falls National Bank's Aviation Road Office into nearby Queensbury locations. Meanwhile, construction on our downtown Glens Falls headquarters advanced; once completed later this year, the energy-efficient space will improve both the employee and customer experience.

Interest and fees on loans were $113.0 million, an increase of 7.6% from the $105.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

  • Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin was 3.03% for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to 2.97% for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the net interest margin was 3.08%, as compared to 2.77% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest margin was due to a variety of factors, including higher market rates impacting asset yields and a reduction in cash balances. Net interest margin in 2022, excluding PPP income, increased to 3.00% from 2.84% in the prior year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased primarily due to the repricing of time deposits and municipal deposits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: Tangible Book Value, Tangible Equity, and Return  on Tangible Equity exclude goodwill and other intangible

assets, net from total equity.  These are non-GAAP  financial measures which we believe provide investors with information that is useful in understanding

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: Net Interest Margin is the ratio of our annualized tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets.

This is also a non-GAAP financial measure which we believe  provides investors with information that is useful in understanding our financial performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: Financial Institutions often use the "efficiency ratio", a non-GAAP ratio, as a measure of expense control. We believe

the efficiency ratio provides investors with information that  is useful in understanding our financial performance. We define our efficiency ratio as the ratio of our

noninterest expense to our net gross income (which equals our tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, as adjusted).























5.

For the current quarter, all of the regulatory capital ratios in the table above, as well as the Total Risk-Weighted Assets and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

amounts listed in the table below, are estimates based on, and calculated in accordance with bank regulatory capital rules.  All prior quarters reflect actual

results.  The December 31, 2022 CET1 ratio listed in the tables (i.e., 13.32%) exceeds the sum of the required minimum CET1 ratio plus the fully phased-in

Capital Conservation Buffer (i.e., 7.00%).
