How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

fully taxable equivalent, common equity tier 1 capital ratio, net charge-offs, non-gaap financial measures

4 terms

fully taxable equivalent financial

"3.81% fully taxable equivalent ("FTE"2)"

A fully taxable equivalent converts a tax-free yield into the pretax yield you would need from a taxable investment to get the same after-tax return, using an investor’s marginal tax rate. Think of it like inflating a discounted price to the full sticker price so you can compare items side‑by‑side; investors use it to fairly compare tax-exempt securities with taxable alternatives and choose the better after-tax income.

common equity tier 1 capital ratio regulatory

"Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.63%"

A bank’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio measures the size of its strongest loss-absorbing capital—mainly common shares and retained earnings—relative to the bank’s assets after adjusting those assets for how risky they are (riskier loans count more). Think of it as the safety cushion compared with the weight of risky business; investors use it to judge a bank’s ability to survive losses, meet rules, and sustain dividends or growth.

net charge-offs financial

"YTD Net Charge-offs of 0.14%"

Net charge-offs are the amount of loans or credit a lender removes from its books as uncollectible after subtracting any money later recovered from previously written-off accounts. Think of it like a store writing off unpaid tabs but getting back a few dollars later — the net figure shows the real loss. Investors watch this to judge a lender’s loan quality, future profits and how much capital may be needed to cover bad debts.

non-gaap financial measures financial

"this news release contains financial information determined by methods other than GAAP"

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

This earnings release and related commentary should be read in conjunction with the Company's October 29, 2026 Form 8-K and related Third Quarter 2026 Investor Presentation, which can also be found on Arrow's website: arrowfinancial.com/documents/investor-presentations. 

Arrow President and CEO David S. DeMarco: 

"We are excited to report our third-quarter financial results, marking the first quarter of financial performance following our acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp. Reflecting the collaboration and commitment of our combined team, Arrow is already delivering on expected benefits from the strategic acquisition with strong loan growth, net interest margin expansion, significant increase in non-interest income, core earnings of $0.97 per share and core ROA growth. We expect to complete the core banking system integration over the next few weeks and remain on track to realize approximately 95 percent of the anticipated cost savings by the first quarter of 2027. We also continued to celebrate our bank's 175th anniversary year by ringing the Nasdaq closing bell in late September. I would like to thank all of our valued team members, both past and present, for their dedication and hard work to mark this milestone as Arrow continues to grow to better serve our expanding communities."

• Strong organic loan growth of approximately $60 million, 6.8% annualized
• Net Interest Income of $48.7 million
• Net Interest Margin of 3.80% (3.81% fully taxable equivalent ("FTE"²)), versus 3.42% (3.43% FTE²) in the prior quarter

• Cost of retail deposits³ was 1.45% versus 1.61% in the second quarter, benefitting from the Acquisition

Income Statement

• Net Income: Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $5.7 million, decreasing from $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Compared to the prior quarter, net income decreased primarily due to $15.6 million of MRE as well as other non-interest expenses due to the Acquisition, as expected cost savings are not yet fully realized.

• Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $48.7 million, increasing 35.6% from the second quarter of 2026.
  • Total interest and dividend income was $68.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase from $53.6 million in the second quarter of 2026. The increase was attributable to higher average earning assets driven by the Acquisition. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $19.3 million, an increase from $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 as the Acquisition generated an increase in overall deposit balances while simultaneously decreasing the cost of funds.

• Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin, on an FTE basis, for the third quarter of 2026 increased to 3.81%, compared to 3.43% for the second quarter of 2026. The increase in net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2026 was primarily the result of the Acquisition, which included lower costing deposit balances, while loan yields continued to expand. Net interest margin also benefitted by 14bps, comprised of 9bps related to the net accretion of purchase accounting adjustments and 5bps on the accretion of the acquired investment portfolio.

(A) Includes Nonaccrual Loans.

• Provision for Credit Losses: For the third quarter of 2026, the provision for credit losses was $1.5 million compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, which included a $1.6 million specific reserve related to a non-performing commercial loan that was subsequently charged-off in the third quarter of 2026. The third quarter provision was driven by loan growth and net charge-offs.
  
  
• Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $11.4 million, an increase from $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. The increase was the result of fee income for services to customers from the Acquisition as well as an increase in insurance commissions. Insurance commissions also included one month of revenue from the Skene Valley Agency, Inc. acquired during the quarter. Other operating income included increased bank-owned life insurance income and a gain on the termination of a portion of the cash flow hedges, as the Acquisition enabled a change to Arrow's asset-liability management strategy.
  
  
• Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $51.8 million, an increase from $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2026. The third quarter of 2026 included approximately $15.6 million of MRE versus $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2026. In addition, other operating expense included $745 thousand in core deposit intangible amortization for the quarter related to the Acquisition.
  
  
• Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $1.2 million and 16.8%, respectively for the third quarter of 2026, and $2.9 million and 21.1%, respectively for the second quarter of 2026. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 reflected the impact of closing the Acquisition.

Balance Sheet

• Total Assets: Total assets were $5.5 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 23.8%, as compared to June 30, 2026. For the third quarter of 2026, the overall change in assets was primarily driven by the Acquisition, as well as an increase in cash balances.
  
  
• Investments: Total investments were $693.6 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $105.6 million, or 18.0%, compared to June 30, 2026. The increase from June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by the Acquisition, partially offset by the subsequent sale of $73 million of investments as well as additional paydowns and maturities. There were no material credit quality issues related to the investment portfolio.
  
  
• Loans: Total loans were $4.1 billion as of September 30, 2026. Loans outstanding increased in the third quarter of 2026 by $648.0 million (net of approximately $21 million of amortizing discount), driven by the Acquisition and approximately $60 million in organic growth. Please see the loan detail included in the Consolidated Financial Information table on page 14.
  
  
• Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses was $41.1 million as of September 30, 2026, which represented 0.99% of loans outstanding, as compared to $36.2 million, or 1.03% of loans outstanding, at June 30, 2026. The increase in the allowance was primarily the result of $5.7 million of additional reserve for the newly acquired loans. Net charge-offs, expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, were 0.21% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 0.08% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026. Nonperforming assets were $12.7 million as of September 30, 2026, representing 0.23% of period-end assets, an increase from $8.7 million, or 0.19%, at June 30, 2026.
  
  
• Deposits: At September 30, 2026, deposit balances were $4.7 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion from June 30, 2026. The change from June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the acquisition as well as the seasonal inflow of municipal deposits. Please refer to page 7 for further details related to deposits.
  
  
• Capital: Total stockholders' equity was $515.1 million at September 30, 2026, an increase of $68.8 million, or 15.4%, from June 30, 2026. The increase from June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the issuance of 1.98 million shares of common stock with a value of approximately $81 million in connection with the Acquisition as well as net income of $5.7 million offset by other comprehensive loss of $12.9 million and dividends of $5.6 million. Arrow's regulatory capital ratios remain strong. As of September 30, 2026, Arrow's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.63% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 13.46%. The capital ratios of Arrow and its subsidiary bank continued to exceed the "well capitalized" regulatory standards. Regulatory capital ratios are preliminary, subject to finalization as part of the current quarter Call Report.

	2.	Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: Net Interest Margin is the ratio of annualized tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets.  This is also a non-GAAP financial measure, which Arrow believes provides investors with information that is useful in understanding its financial performance.

	3.	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).
	4.	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, 2026 CET1 ratio listed in the tables (i.e., 11.63%) exceeds the sum of the required minimum CET1 ratio plus the fully phased-in Capital Conservation Buffer (i.e., 7.00%). Regulatory capital ratios are estimated, subject to finalization as part of the current quarter Call Report.

		Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio	11.63 %		13.21 %		13.30 %		13.01 %		13.07 %
	5.	Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: Net Income and Net Non-Interest Expense adjusted for non-core expenses. Non-core expenses include merger-related expenses, which are related to the announced acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp, Inc., and unification expenses, which are related to the system conversion and operational merger of the Company's two banking subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2025.  EPS, efficiency ratio, and ROA are presented on an adjusted basis to reflect these exclusions. In the third quarter of 2026, Arrow issued approximately 1.98 million shares of common stock. These are non-GAAP financial measures, which Arrow believes provides investors with information that is useful in understanding its financial performance.
