Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $14.7 million, up $0.2 million, or 1.6%, from the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net income per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.43 per share, up from $0.42 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.09% and 10.86%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with 1.06% and 11.09%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Net interest margin (FTE) was 4.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, down slightly from 4.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Key items for the first six months of 2011 include:

  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.84 for the first six months of 2011 was the second highest in the Company's history; second to $0.88 for the same period in 2008.
  • Net interest margin was 4.12% for the first six months of 2011, down from 4.17% for the same period of 2010, a result of the continued low rate environment on loan and investment yields.
  • Net charge-offs were 0.60% of average loans and leases for the first six months of 2011, down 6 bps from the first six months of 2010; provision for loan and lease losses was down $5.6 million for the same period.
  • Continued strategic expansion with the announcement of the acquisition of four branches in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, pending regulatory approval.

"Our near record earnings for the first six months of 2011 are further evidence of our company's strong performance. Our financial results for 2008 through 2010 represented the most profitable three year term in our company's history, during a period of time when the banking industry had record losses. We continue to make investments to further strengthen our already strong foundation to better position us for future success. Our recent announcement to expand into western Massachusetts with the acquisition of four Legacy Banks branches is another exciting investment we are making in our future. Our strong balance sheet and earnings momentum, along with a passionate and professional team of employees, continues to position us well to take advantage of new growth opportunities," said NBT President and CEO Martin Dietrich.

Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses was $10.0 million for the first six months of 2011, down $5.6 million from the $15.6 million recorded in the first six months of 2010. Net charge-offs were $10.7 million for the first six months of 2011 representing 0.60% of average loans and leases for the period versus $11.8 million, or 0.66% of average loans and leases for the first six months of 2010.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, down from $6.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs were $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 representing 0.60% of average loans and leases for the quarter versus $6.2 million, or 0.68% of average loans and leases for the second quarter of 2010. The general improvement in asset quality indicators contributed to the decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses.

Nonperforming loans were $41.7 million at June 30, 2011, down from $48.7 million at March 31, 2011 and $44.8 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease in nonperforming loans was due primarily to the payoff of a large commercial credit as well as various commercial charge-offs. Past due loans were up slightly to 0.69% of total loans at June 30, 2011 from 0.66% at March 31, 2011, but down considerably from 0.86% at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan and lease losses was $70.5 million at June 30, 2011, relatively flat compared to $69.9 million at March 31, 2011 and $71.2 million at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.92% of loans and leases at June 30, 2011, compared to 1.93% at March 31, 2011 and 1.97% at December 31, 2010. 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was down 2.0% to $99.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $101.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The Company's FTE net interest margin was 4.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, down from 4.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. 

While the yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased 31 bps, the yield on interest earning assets declined 35 bps, resulting in margin compression for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010. The yield on securities available for sale was 3.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on loans and leases was 5.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 5.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on time deposits was 1.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 2.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on money market deposit accounts was 0.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net interest income was down 0.9% to $50.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $50.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The Company's FTE net interest margin was 4.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, down slightly from 4.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. 

The yield on interest bearing liabilities and interest earning assets each decreased 32 bps, which resulted in a fairly stable margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on securities available for sale was 3.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 3.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on loans and leases was 5.65% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 5.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The yield on time deposits was 1.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 2.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on money market deposit accounts was 0.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 0.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. 

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $40.0 million, down slightly from $40.7 million for the same period in 2010. Insurance and other financial services revenue increased approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded and improved market conditions. Trust revenue increased approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to the addition of new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded, and an increase in the fair market value of trust assets under administration.  ATM and debit card fees also increased approximately $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to an increase in activity. These increases were offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $1.9 million, or 15.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease in service charges was the result of a decrease in overdraft activity due to the effects of implementing new regulations regarding overdraft fees in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, retirement plan administration fees decreased by $0.5 million, or 11.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. We experienced increases in new business and market-based fees, yet these were offset by the loss of one client.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $19.9 million, down slightly from $20.3 million for the same period in 2010. Insurance and other financial services revenue increased approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded and improved market conditions. Trust revenue increased approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to the addition of new business generated from markets where we have recently expanded, and an increase in the fair market value of trust assets under administration.  ATM and debit card fees also increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $0.8 million, or 13.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease in service charges was the result of a decrease in overdraft activity due to the effects of implementing new regulations regarding overdraft fees in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, retirement plan administration fees decreased by $0.3 million, or 12.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. We experienced increases in new business and market-based fees, yet these were offset by the loss of one client.   

Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $88.2 million, up from $86.4 million, or 2.2%, for the same period in 2010. Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.6 million, or 5.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010. This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees, merit increases and other employee benefits. In addition, occupancy expenses increased approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to continued branch expansion and expenses related to the harsh winter. Other operating expenses consisting of various items increased approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010 with no significant driver. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in data processing and communications expenses of approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due to the renegotiation of a data processing contract resulting in a decrease in processing fees. FDIC expenses decreased approximately $0.7 million for the first six months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) redefining the deposit insurance assessment base. In addition, loan collection and other real estate owned expenses decreased approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due primarily to sales of certain properties classified as other real estate owned resulting in a reduction in maintenance expenses on properties owned by the Company.   Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was $12.2 million, up from $11.7 million for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate was 29.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 29.2% for the same period in 2010. 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $43.2 million, down from $44.2 million, or 2.4%, for the same period in 2010. FDIC expenses decreased approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, due to the aforementioned redefined deposit insurance assessment base. In addition, loan collection and other real estate owned expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due primarily to sales of certain properties classified as other real estate owned resulting in a reduction in maintenance expenses on properties owned by the Company. Other operating expenses consisting of various items decreased approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010 with no significant driver. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in occupancy expenses of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to continued branch expansion. Income tax expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was $6.2 million, up from $6.0 million for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate was 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 29.2% for the same period in 2010.
