Arrow Financial (NASDAQ: AROW) grows Q1 profit and lifts dividend

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Arrow Financial Corporation reported solid first-quarter 2026 results and declared a higher quarterly dividend. Net income was $13.5 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared with $14.0 million and $0.85 in the fourth quarter of 2025. Results included about $790 thousand of merger-related expenses tied to the pending Adirondack Bancorp acquisition; excluding these, core EPS was $0.85, matching the prior quarter and described as a record operating result.

Net interest income rose to $36.1 million and the fully tax-equivalent net interest margin improved to 3.48% from 3.25%, helped by higher earning-asset yields and lower funding costs. Return on average assets was 1.23% (1.29% core), and the efficiency ratio was 59.89% (58.13% core). Credit quality remained strong, with net charge-offs of 0.10% of average loans and nonperforming loans at 0.13% of total loans.

Total assets reached $4.5 billion, loans were $3.4 billion, and deposits were $4.0 billion, supported by seasonal municipal inflows. Regulatory capital stayed well above “well capitalized” levels, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.30%. The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, payable May 26, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 12, 2026.

Insights

Banking sector equity analyst

Arrow delivered strong core Q1 profitability, expanding margin and maintaining very clean credit while funding a pending acquisition.

Arrow Financial generated Q1 2026 net income of $13.5 million and core EPS of $0.85, flat to Q4 despite absorbing merger-related expenses. Net interest income increased and tax-equivalent net interest margin widened to 3.48%, reflecting repricing benefits on loans and securities plus lower funding costs.

Asset quality stayed robust, with annualized net charge-offs at 0.10% and nonperforming loans at 0.13% of total loans. The allowance for credit losses was $34.1 million, or 0.99% of loans, and nonperforming assets fell to $5.1 million. Capital remained strong, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.30% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 15.04% as of March 31, 2026.

The pending Adirondack Bancorp, Inc. acquisition, expected to close in Q3 2026, would add about $950 million of assets and 19 branches, with management indicating meaningful EPS accretion from 2027. Combined with a dividend increase to $0.30 per share and tangible book value per share of $25.09, the company is signaling confidence in its earnings power and balance sheet resilience.

6 terms

net interest margin financial

"Net interest margin, on an FTE basis, for the first quarter of 2026 increased to 3.48%, compared to 3.25% for the fourth quarter of 2025."

Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

efficiency ratio financial

"Efficiency ratio of 59.89%; 58.13% excluding MRE1"

A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio financial

"As of March 31, 2026, Arrow's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 13.30% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.04%."

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.

allowance for credit losses financial

"The allowance for credit losses was $34.1 million as of March 31, 2026, which represented 0.99% of loans outstanding."

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

nonperforming assets financial

"Nonperforming assets were $5.1 million as of March 31, 2026, representing 0.11% of period-end assets."

Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.

merger-related expenses financial

"This quarter's results include approximately $790 thousand ($0.03 per share) of non-core merger expenses related to the announced acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp, Inc."

Merger-related expenses are the one-time costs a company incurs when combining with or buying another business, such as fees for lawyers and bankers, severance pay for staff reductions, integration costs, and closing charges. Like the upfront expenses of renovating two homes to join them into one, these charges can reduce short-term profits and cash available but may enable future cost savings or revenue gains; investors watch them to judge the true financial impact and whether the deal creates value.

			FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arrow Reports 1st Quarter Net Income of $13.5 Million, or $0.82 per Share, and Declares 2nd Quarter Dividend of $0.30 per Share

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (April 30, 2026) – Arrow Financial Corporation (NasdaqGS® – AROW) ("Arrow" or the "Company") announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Reported net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $13.5 million and fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") was $0.82, versus net income of $14.0 million and EPS of $0.85 for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Board of Directors of Arrow declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share; payable May 26, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 12, 2026.

This quarter's results include approximately $790 thousand ($0.03 per share) of non-core merger expenses related to the announced acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp, Inc. based in Utica, New York. Excluding the merger expenses, Arrow achieved record operating results of $0.85 for the first quarter of 2026. Pending regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2026 and will add approximately $950 million in assets and 19 new branch locations.

This Earnings Release and related commentary should be read in conjunction with the Company's April 30, 2026 Form 8-K and related First 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:

"As we celebrate our 175th anniversary, building on the strong year-end momentum, the Arrow team delivered exceptional financial results for the first quarter of 2026. We achieved strong net interest margin expansion as well as a return on average assets close to 1.30% on an operating basis. Credit performance was even better with non-performing loans dipping to 13 basis points. During the first quarter, we also announced the acquisition of Adirondack Bank, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. We look forward to expanding our market with this high-quality, low-cost deposit franchise, adding approximately $950 million to our balance sheet. We expect the transaction to provide significant EPS accretion in 2027 and beyond. Arrow is well positioned to continue to deliver strong results for its shareholders while continuing to execute on its strategic initiatives to build a premier banking franchise for its customers and the communities it serves."

•Provision for Credit Losses: For the first quarter of 2026, the provision for credit losses was $548 thousand compared to $846 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by low net charge-offs and lower loan growth in the first quarter of 2026.

•Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $8.6 million, an increase from $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Revenue related to wealth management was consistent with the prior quarter, while insurance commissions and interchange fees improved in the first quarter from the linked quarter. The first quarter of 2026 included a positive valuation adjustment related to an equity position.

•Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $26.9 million, an increase from $25.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2026 included approximately $800 thousand of expenses related to the announced acquisition of Adirondack Bancorp, Inc. which is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2026.

•Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $3.9 million and 22.3%, respectively for the first quarter of 2026, and $2.7 million and 22.2%, respectively for the fourth quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate does not reflect the anticipated implementation of certain tax strategies that are expected to lower the tax rate for the rest of 2026.

Balance Sheet

•Total Assets: Total assets were $4.5 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $76.2 million, or 1.7%, as compared to December 31, 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, the overall change in the balance sheet was primarily attributable to the seasonal surge in municipal deposits.

•Investments: Total investments were $594.6 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $21.8 million, or 3.8%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase from December 31, 2025 was driven primarily by $46 million of additional investments, partially offset by paydowns and maturities. There were no credit quality issues related to the investment portfolio.

•Loans: Total loans were $3.4 billion as of March 31, 2026. Loans outstanding decreased in the first quarter of 2026 by $14.1 million. Loan growth was negatively impacted by severe winter weather, which slowed indirect auto and residential loan originations. Volume is expected to rebound in the second quarter. 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 $34.1 million as of March 31, 2026, which represented 0.99% of loans outstanding, as compared to $34.3 million, or 0.99% of loans outstanding, at December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs, expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, were 0.10% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.08% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025. Nonperforming assets were $5.1 million as of March 31, 2026, representing 0.11% of period-end assets, a decrease from $8.7 million, or 0.20%, at December 31, 2025. Nonperforming assets decreased to the payoff of a $2.6 million nonperforming loan in the first quarter.

•Deposits: At March 31, 2026, deposit balances were $4.0 billion, an increase of $74.5 million from December 31, 2025. The change from December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the seasonality of municipal deposits. Please refer to page 6 for further details related to deposits.

•Capital: Total stockholders’ equity was $440.1 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $8.3 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2025. The increase from December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to net income of $13.5 million offset by other comprehensive loss of $0.7 million and

dividends of $5.0 million and other stock-based activity. Arrow's regulatory capital ratios remain strong. As of March 31, 2026, Arrow's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 13.30% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.04%. The capital ratios of Arrow and its subsidiary bank continued to exceed the “well capitalized” regulatory standards.

			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).
