TrustCo Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings Up 8.4% Over Prior Year
GLENVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo") (Nasdaq:TRST) today announced that net income rose to $10.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, up 8.4% from $9.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Full year net income rose 6.1% to $39.8 million for 2013 versus the prior year.
TrustCo saw continued strong loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2013. The gains were funded by continued expansion of retail deposits, along with a shift from lower yielding investment securities, and helped boost the average yield on earning assets and the net interest margin. Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, "Our results for the fourth quarter of 2013 continued the progress we made in the first nine months of the year in terms of bottom line growth and in positioning our business for the future. In addition to the gain in net income, we continue to add profitable customer relationships on both the loan and deposit sides of the Bank. Our highly liquid balance sheet continues to allow us to fund our loan growth without having to overpay for deposits. Our cost of interest-bearing deposits remained at just 0.38% in the fourth quarter, flat with the third quarter and down four basis points relative to the year-earlier quarter. We look forward to 2014 with optimism, though we note that our industry continues to face challenges including an increasingly complex and burdensome regulatory environment, an economy that remains fragile and an interest rate environment that remains mixed. We will continue to take advantage of opportunities as they are presented."
Mr. McCormick also noted "There are continued economic improvements in the markets in which we operate, particularly Florida, although unemployment and other persistent issues continue to constrain any significant economic growth. Our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to maintain a strong balance sheet and continued profitability. As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has significantly enhanced our reputation and put us in a position to take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions."
Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.94% and 11.78%, respectively for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 0.91% and 10.88% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.112 for the fourth quarter of 2013, up 7.7% from $0.104 for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year, TrustCo earned $39.8 million or $0.422 per diluted share, compared to $37.5 million or $0.400 per share for 2012.
On a year-over-year basis, average loans were up $227.1 million or 8.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013, over the same period in 2012. Average deposits were up $138.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 over the same period a year earlier. Customers continued to move some funds into certificates with slightly longer maturities, which may be helpful if rates rise, without having a material impact on the current cost of funds. For the full year, core deposits rose $192 million. Core deposits typically represent longer term customer relationships and are generally lower cost than time deposits. Mr. McCormick noted that, "The year-over-year growth of our loans and the shift in our deposit base reflects the long term strategic focus of the Company.
While some banks have backed away from branches, a customer friendly branch franchise continues to be the key to our long term plans. During 2013 we celebrated the ten year anniversary of our expansion into Florida, and have made significant progress expanding loans and deposits through our branches. We expect that trend to continue as the new branches continue to grow. We also note we have always designed our branches to be smaller and more cost effective than those built by many of our competitors. We have utilized open floor plans that help maximize the value of our branches. We remain mindful that fully achieving our goals for our newer branches will take time and continued hard work. We believe our success in growing customer relationships provides the basic building blocks that will help drive profit growth over the coming years."
Asset quality, reserve coverage of nonperforming loans (NPLs) and reserve coverage of net charge-offs all improved from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013. NPLs declined to $43.4 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $52.7 million at December 31, 2012 and nonperforming assets (NPAs) declined to $52.1 million from $61.4 million over the same period. NPLs were equal to 1.49% of total loans at year-end, compared to 1.96% a year earlier. For the fourth quarter of 2013 the allowance for loan losses covered annualized fourth quarter net charge-offs by 7.9 times, compared to an annualized 4.9 times for the fourth quarter of 2012. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 110.0% at December 31, 2013, compared to 91.0% at December 31, 2012. Overall, every asset quality indicator improved during the fourth quarter of 2013 relative to the fourth quarter of 2012. The ratio of reserves to total loans was 1.64% as of December 31, 2013, compared to 1.68% at September 30, 2013. This decline was the result of loan growth as the loan loss reserve remained at $47.7 million. During the fourth quarter of 2013 approximately $1.6 million of NPAs were sold to a third party at a slight gain.
The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 3.15%, compared to 3.12% in the third quarter of 2013.
At December 31, 2013 the tangible equity ratio was 7.99% compared to 7.94% at September 30, 2013 and 8.24% at December 31, 2012. Tangible book value per share ended the fourth quarter at $3.82 compared to $3.81 in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders' equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, but excluding other real estate expense, net, which we refer to below as recurring expense, by net interest income (fully taxable equivalent) and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
