GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (January 29, 2019) – Arrow Financial Corporation (NasdaqGS® – AROW) announced operating results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2018. For the fourth quarter of 2018, net income was $8.8 million, an increase of $687 thousand, or 8.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income was a record $36.3 million, up 23.7% over net income of $29.3 million for 2017. Diluted EPS was $0.60 for the fourth quarter, up 7.1% from 0.56 from the comparable 2017 quarter, and $2.50 for 2018, up 22.5% from $2.04 in 2017.

Profitability ratios also improved in 2018, as return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 13.96% and 1.27%, respectively, for the year, as compared to 12.14% and 1.09%, respectively, for 2017.

Arrow President and CEO Thomas J. Murphy stated, “Arrow’s performance throughout 2018 was solid once again, as demonstrated by steady growth, improving profitability, excellent credit quality and our constant commitment to servicing our customers and their communities. I’m so proud of the impact that our company has had on our shareholders, our customers and the communities we serve. Arrow remains well-positioned heading into 2019, as our team continues to focus on long-term planning and responsible growth.”

Cash and Stock Dividends: On December 14, 2018, the Company distributed a cash dividend of $0.26 per share. This cash dividend reflected a $0.01 per share increase from the $0.25 cash dividend paid in the fourth quarter of 2017. Additionally, a 3% stock dividend was distributed on September 27, 2018. This is the tenth consecutive year the Company declared a stock dividend. The December 14, 2018 cash dividend was 7.1% higher than the cash dividend paid by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2017 when adjusted for the 3% stock dividend. All prior-period per-share data have been adjusted to reflect the September 27, 2018 stock dividend.

The following expands on our fourth quarter and 2018 results:

Loan Growth: At December 31, 2018, total loan balances reached a record high of $2.2 billion, up $245.4 million, or 12.6%, from the prior-year level. This represents the fifth consecutive year of double-digit loan growth. The growth was spread across all three of our major categories: consumer, residential real estate and commercial. The consumer loan portfolio grew by $116.7 million, or 19.4%, over the balance at December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of continued strength in the indirect automobile lending program. The residential real estate loan portfolio increased $80.8 million, or 10.4%, while commercial loans increased $47.9 million, or 8.4%, over the balances at December 31, 2017.

Deposit Growth: At December 31, 2018, total deposit balances reached $2.3 billion, up by $100.5 million, or 4.5%, from the prior-year level. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew by $30.8 million, or 7.0%, during 2018, and represented 20.2% of total deposits at year-end, up from the prior-year level of 19.7%. Higher market rates contributed to increased demand for savings and time deposits; as these balances increased by $123.5 million and $62.7 million, respectively.

Net Interest Income: The Net Interest Margin (NIM) increased to 3.07% for the year ending December 31, 2018, an increase of 0.05% from the 2017 level of 3.02%. The improved NIM, combined with loan growth generated $84.0 million in net interest income in 2018, a $6.4 million, or 8.2%, increase over 2017. NIM was 3.03% for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to 3.08% for the same quarter of 2017. For the fourth quarter of 2018, net interest income was $21.7 million, an increase of 6.6% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income of $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by 4.7% when compared to $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Income generated from fiduciary activities increased by $838 thousand, or 10%, in 2018. Insurance revenue decreased in 2018 by $724 thousand, but still contributed $7.9 million in noninterest income. Meanwhile, service fee income increased in 2018 by $543 thousand, or 5.7%, over 2017, and all other noninterest income increased by $647 thousand. The increase in total other noninterest income in 2018 was positively impacted by a $213 thousand net gain on the fair value of equity securities. Noninterest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 increased $47 thousand as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense for the year ending December 31, 2018 increased by $2.4 million, or 3.7%, to $65.1 million compared to $62.7 million in 2017. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits paid to our employees, which totaled $38.8 million in 2018. Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 increased $838 thousand, or 5.2%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes for 2018 was $9.0 million compared to $10.5 million for 2017. The effective income tax rates for 2018 and 2017 were 19.9% and 26.4%, respectively, which reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Asset Quality: Asset quality remained strong, as evidenced by low levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs. Net loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2018, expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, were 0.08%. Net loan losses for the full year 2018 were 0.05% of average loans outstanding, down one basis point from the 2017 ratio of 0.06%. Nonperforming assets of $6.8 million at December 31, 2018, represented 0.23% of period-end assets, down from 0.28% at December 31, 2017.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was $20.2 million at December 31, 2018, which represented 0.92% of loans outstanding, a decrease of three basis points from the ratio of 0.95% at year-end 2017. This decrease was primarily driven by continued strong asset quality. When expressed as a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan loss coverage ratio grew to 365.7% at year-end 2018, compared to 312.4% at year-end 2017.

Capital: Total shareholders’ equity grew to a record of $269.6 million at period-end, an increase of $20.0 million, or 8.0%, above the year-end 2017 balance. The Company's regulatory capital ratios remained strong in 2018. At December 31, 2018, the Company's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.89% and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.86%. The capital ratios of the Company and both its subsidiary banks continued to significantly exceed the “well capitalized” regulatory standards.

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, 2018 CET1 ratio listed in the tables (i.e., 12.89%) exceeds the sum of the required minimum CET1 ratio plus the fully phased-in Capital Conservation Buffer (i.e., 7.00%).
