In a separate release, the bank’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share payable March 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2022. This represents a 1 cent increase over the December 2021 cash dividend paid to shareholders and is a 3.8% increase over the cash dividend paid in the fourth quarter of 2021, as a result of the 3% stock dividend distributed on September 24, 2021.
“Arrow Financial Corporation delivered another year of strong financial results in 2021, with exceptional earnings, strong profitability ratios and asset growth to a record $4 billion, all while weathering a second year of pandemic-related issues," Arrow President and CEO Thomas J. Murphy said in the statement.
