Current report
For the second quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses was $0.6 million compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The sizeable quarter-over-quarter decrease in the second quarter provision reflects the recognition of a specific reserve related to the CRE Participation that was charged off in the second quarter of 2025 and moved to other assets.
Current report
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $7.6 million, a decrease from $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue related to wealth management decreased from the prior quarter primarily as a result of weaker overall market performance. Interchange fees improved in the second quarter from the linked quarter. Other operating income was negatively affected by small valuation adjustments to Other Assets.
Current report
The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $3.1 million and 22.2%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025, and $1.8 million and 22.4%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
The allowance for credit losses was $34.2 million as of June 30, 2025, which represented 1.00% of loans outstanding, as compared to $37.8 million, or 1.11%, at March 31, 2025 and $33.6 million, or 0.99% at December 31, 2024 . The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by the recognition of a specific reserve of $3.75 million in the first quarter of 2025 and subsequent charge-off of the reserved loan balances during the second quarter. The remaining loan balance has been reclassified to Other Assets after the participating banks assumed control of the collateral properties. The participating banks have appointed a property manager to manage the day-to-day activities while exploring further options. The properties itself are being held in an unconsolidated LLC in which Arrow has an ownership interest equivalent to its rights under the former loan participation. As previously disclosed, the properties are generating positive cash flow and a majority is tenant occupied.
Current report
•Commercial and commercial real estate loans: This segment of the loan portfolio increased by $15.0 million, or 1.6%, during the first six months of 2025. In the first six months of 2025, loan growth was negatively impacted as loan pay-off activity accelerated. In addition, approximately $10.6 million of the previously reserved commercial real estate loans have been reclassified to Other Assets after the participating banks assumed control of the collateral properties related to the CRE Participation. The participating banks have appointed a property manager to manage the day-to-day activities while exploring further options. The properties are being held in an unconsolidated LLC in which Arrow has an ownership interest equivalent to its rights under the former CRE Participation. As previously disclosed, the properties are generating positive cash flow and a majority is tenant occupied.
Current report
•Residential real estate loans: This segment increased during the first six months of 2025 by $24.9 million, or 1.9%. Loan origination activity continued to be strong through the end of the second quarter. Overall economic conditions, including the level of interest rates may impact future origination levels.
Current report
Maintenance of High Quality Credit in the Loan Portfolio: The allowance for credit losses was impacted in 2025 by the recognition of a specific reserve of $3.75 million in the first quarter of 2025 related to the CRE Participation and the subsequent charge-off of the reserved loan balances during the second quarter. The remaining loan balance has been reclassified to Other Assets after the participating banks assumed control of the collateral properties and appointed a property manager to manage the day-to-day activities while exploring further options.

Previous report
For the first quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses was $5.0 million compared to $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The primary driver of the increase was Arrow's recognition of the Reserve which is discussed in more detail on page 18.
Previous report
. Other drivers for the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025 were charge-offs, growth in loan balances and changes to the economic forecast factors embedded in the credit loss allowance model.
Previous report
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $7.8 million, an increase from $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to the absence of a $3.0 million pre-tax loss related to the investment portfolio repositioning as well as a $0.7 million pre-tax charge related to legacy branding, both recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Previous report
The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $1.8 million and 22.4%, for the first quarter of 2025, and $0.8 million and 14.4%, for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate from the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to the change in pre-tax income combined with a change in the amount of tax advantaged earning assets as a percentage of total earning assets.
Previous report
•Commercial and commercial real estate loans: This segment of the loan portfolio increased by $2.9 million, or 0.3%, during the first three months of 2025. In the first three months of 2025, loan growth has slowed as a result of the current rate environment.
Previous report
•Residential real estate loans: This segment increased during the first three months of 2025 by $19.6 million, or 1.5%. Loan growth continues to be solid however a deterioration of economic conditions may trigger a reduction in loan production.

Changes in Sources of Funds: Deposit balances reached $4.0 billion, an increase of $189.1 million, or 5.0%, from the prior-year level and a an increase of $140.2 million from December 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the seasonality of municipal deposits as well as an additional $125 million of brokered CDs. The brokered CDs partially replaced previous wholesale funding sources and are part of a cash flow hedge using interest rate swaps to reduce overall funding costs. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 17.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2025, compared to 18.4% of total deposits on March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, total time deposits were $814.2 million. Municipal deposits increased $117.4 million, or 14.5% from December 31, 2024. Total borrowings were $8.6 million, a decrease from $106.5 million at March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of 2024, Arrow borrowed $100 million as part of the BTFP to improve on-balance sheet liquidity and fund loan production. The BTFP was created to support American businesses and households by making additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors. The BTFP borrowing was paid off in 2024.
Previous report
Arrow evaluates AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized within the allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings via credit loss expense. Arrow determined that at March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. Arrow does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that Arrow will be required to sell, any securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, Arrow carried no allowance for credit loss at March 31, 2025 and there was no credit loss expense recognized by Arrow with respect to the securities portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Previous report
Arrow's HTM debt securities are comprised of GSEs and state and municipal obligations. GSE securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. Arrow performs an analysis of the credit worthiness of municipal obligations to determine if a security is of investment grade. The analysis may include, but may not solely rely upon credit analysis conducted by external credit rating agencies. Arrow determined that the expected credit loss on its HTM debt portfolio was immaterial and, therefore, no allowance for credit loss was recorded as of March 31, 2025.
Previous report
Residential Real Estate Loans: Demand for residential real estate has continued to remain strong even with elevated interest rates. Arrow has historically sold portions of these originations in the secondary market. Arrow resumed selling residential real estate loans into the secondary market in the second half of 2024. The rate at which mortgage loan originations may be sold in future periods will depends on a variety of factors, including demand for residential mortgages in our operating markets, market conditions for mortgage sales and strategic balance sheet and interest-rate risk management decisions.
Previous report
Through the provision for credit losses, an allowance for credit losses is maintained that reflects the best estimate of the calculated expected credit losses in Arrow's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Additions are made to the allowance for credit losses through a periodic provision for credit losses. Actual credit losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when loans are deemed uncollectible and recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded as credits to the allowance for credit losses.
Previous report
Arrow loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review the conditions and risks associated with certain criticized and classified commercial-related relationships. In addition, the independent internal loan review department performs periodic reviews of the credit quality indicators on individual loans in the commercial loan portfolio.
Previous report
Arrow's current expected credit loss (CECL) model calculates losses over the life of a loan or financial instrument. Arrow and its subsidiaries utilize a loss projection model updated with data from our core systems, and incorporates various assumptions to produce the CECL reserve. A CECL Steering Committee was created to provide a management governance function to review, critically challenge and approve components of the CECL reporting process. One key responsibility of the CECL Steering Committee is to review annually the key assumptions utilized in the CECL calculation including loan segmentation, loan loss regression analysis, reasonable and supportable forecast period, reversion period, discounted cash flow inputs including economic forecast data and prepayment and curtailment speeds and qualitative factors.
Previous report
The accounting policy relating to the allowance for credit losses is considered to be a critical accounting policy, given the uncertainty involved in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments may have on the results of operations. The process for determining the provision for credit losses is described in Note 5 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

In 2020, federal bank regulators introduced an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (the "CBLR Framework"). A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR Framework and meets all the requirements under the CBLR Framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital ratios. Arrow and Arrow Bank have opted out of utilizing the CBLR framework. Therefore, the Capital Rules remain applicable to Arrow.

The following is a summary of certain definitions of capital under the various capital measures in the Capital Rules:
Previous report
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1): Equals the sum of common stock instruments and related surplus (net of treasury stock), retained earnings, AOCI, and qualifying minority interests, minus applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. Such deductions will include AOCI, if the organization has exercised its irrevocable option not to include AOCI in capital (Arrow made such an election). Mortgage-servicing assets, deferred tax assets, and investments in financial institutions are limited to 15% of CET1 in the aggregate and 10% of CET1 for each such item individually.
Previous report
Additional Tier 1 Capital: Equals the sum of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, tier 1 minority interests, grandfathered TRUPs, and Troubled Asset Relief Program instruments, minus applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.
Previous report
Tier 2 Capital: Equals the sum of subordinated debt and preferred stock, total capital minority interests not included in Tier 1, and allowance for loan and lease losses (not exceeding 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) minus applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.
Previous report
The following table presents the minimum regulatory capital ratios applicable to Arrow and Arrow Bank under the current Capital Rules:
Previous report
These minimum capital ratios, especially the minimum CET1 ratio (4.5%) and the enhanced minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (6.0%), represent a heightened and more restrictive capital regime than institutions like Arrow previously had to meet under the prior capital rules.
Previous report
At March 31, 2025, Arrow Bank exceeded by a substantial amount each of the applicable minimum capital ratios established under the Capital Rules, including the minimum CET1 Ratio, the minimum Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, the minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and the minimum Leverage Ratio, including in the case of each risk-based ratio, the capital buffer.
Previous report
Prompt Corrective Action Capital Classifications. Under applicable banking law, federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet certain minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, the regulators have established five capital classifications for banking institutions, ranging from the highest category of "well-capitalized" to the lowest category of "critically under-capitalized". Under the current capital classifications, a banking institution is considered "well-capitalized" if it meets the following capitalization standards on the date of measurement: a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.50% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00% or greater, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00% or greater, provided the institution is not subject to any regulatory order or written directive regarding capital maintenance. Federal banking law also ties the ability of banking organizations to engage in certain types of activities and to utilize certain procedures to such organizations' continuing to qualify for inclusion in one of the two highest rankings of these capitalization categories, i.e., as "well-capitalized" or "adequately capitalized."

The increase in net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter in 2024 was primarily the result of continued yield expansion on earning assets combined with the moderating cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is negatively affected by deposits continuing to migrate to higher cost products, such as money market savings and time deposits, while being positively impacted by repricing of higher cost time deposits. See the disclosure on page 40 related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including net interest margin on an FTE basis, and Footnote 2 to the Selected Quarterly Information for the reconciliation to GAAP.

For the first quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses was $5.0 million compared to $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The primary driver of the increase was Arrow's recognition of the Reserve which is discussed in more detail on page 18. Other drivers for the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025 were charge-offs, growth in loan balances and changes to the economic forecast factors embedded in the credit loss allowance model. In addition, Arrow recorded a decrease for estimated credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures in other liabilities of $247 thousand in the first quarter of 2025.
Current wording
For the second quarter of 2025, the provision for credit losses was $0.6 million compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Liquidity and Access to Credit Markets: Arrow has not experienced any liquidity events or special concerns in recent years or thus far in 2025. Arrow’s liquidity position provides the necessary flexibility to address any unexpected near-term liquidity needs. Interest-bearing cash balances at March 31, 2025 were $268.5 million compared to $127.1 million at December 31, 2024. Contingent lines of credit are also available. Operating collateralized lines of credit are established and available through the FHLBNY, FRB and other bank lines totaling approximately $1.4 billion. The general terms of Arrow's lines of credit have not changed significantly in recent periods (see the general liquidity discussion on page 58). Historically, Arrow has principally relied on asset-based liquidity (i.e., funds in overnight investments and cash flow from maturing investments and loans) with liability-based liquidity as a secondary source of funds (the main liability-based sources are an overnight borrowing arrangement with correspondent banks, an arrangement for overnight borrowing and term credit advances from the FHLBNY, and an additional arrangement for short-term advances at the FRB discount window). Regular liquidity stress tests and tests of the contingent liquidity plan are performed to ensure that an adequate amount of available funds can be generated to meet a wide variety of potential liquidity crises.
