2013 Highlights:

  • Significant strategic expansion during 2013:
    -- Acquired Alliance Financial Corporation, a $1.4 billion financial holding company headquartered in Syracuse, N.Y. on March 8, 2013
  • 2013 organic loan growth of 5.3%
    -- Consumer loan growth of 4.8%

Ultimately, the engine that drives our success is the talented group of financial professionals we cultivate. While the regulatory and economic environment continues to present challenges, we remain confident in our team and their ability to continue to enhance the long-term value of our company for our shareholders."

Net interest income was $238.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, up 16.6% from 2012. This increase from the prior year was due primarily to the 22.7% increase in average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2013 over the prior year. The acquisition of Alliance in March 2013 as well as the sustained organic loan growth in 2013 contributed to the growth in average earning assets.

NBT's fully tax equivalent ("FTE") net interest margin was 3.66% for the year ended December 31, 2013, down from 3.86% for 2012. Rate compression on earning assets continued to negatively impact net interest margin in 2013 as evidenced by decreasing loan yields from 5.17% for the year ended December 31, 2012 to 4.69% for 2013. In addition, yields on available for sale securities declined 42 bps for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012. The rate compression on earning assets was partially offset by the 24 bp decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, driven by a more favorable deposit mix and a decrease in deposit rates, in 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Further contributing to net interest margin compression during 2013 was the incorporation of Alliance's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities into NBT.

Net interest income was $62.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, down marginally from the prior quarter, and up $9.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance. Average interest earning assets were up $54.4 million, or 0.8%, for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the prior quarter, driven primarily by organic loan production during the fourth quarter. This increase was offset by a decrease in the yields on interest earning assets from 4.08% for the third quarter of 2013 to 4.02% for the fourth quarter, driven primarily by the 9 bp decrease in loan yields. Average interest bearing liabilities increased slightly from the third quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter. Rates paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 2 bps during the same period resulting in a 3.0% decrease in interest expense from the third quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter.

NBT's FTE net interest margin was 3.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2013, down from 3.65% from the prior quarter, and down from 3.83% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Rate compression on earning assets continued to negatively impact net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 as evidenced by decreasing loan yields from 4.63% for the third quarter of 2013 to 4.54% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The rate compression on earning assets was partially offset by the 2 bp decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by the 2 bp decrease in rates paid on deposits.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $103.2 million, up 18.2% from 2012, with the primary drivers being increases in trust revenue and ATM and debit card fees driven primarily by the acquisition of Alliance. In addition, NBT experienced a 9.2% increase in insurance and financial services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to a $1.0 million, or 6.0%, increase in insurance revenue as well as a $1.0 million, or 19.5%, increase in financial services revenue. Retirement plan administration fees were also up $1.4 million, or 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012 due to growth in new business during 2013.

Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $25.3 million, down 6.8% from the prior quarter, and up 15.2% from the fourth quarter of 2012 which was due primarily to the acquisition of Alliance. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven primarily by other noninterest income, which decreased $1.3 million from the prior quarter. Decreases in loan fees collected and swap fees recognized during the fourth quarter were the main drivers. In addition, NBT recorded $0.3 million in securities gains during the third quarter, as compared to nominal securities gains recorded for the fourth quarter of 2013.     

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $228.9 million, up $35.0 million or 18.1%, from 2012. Excluding merger expenses totaling $12.4 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, noninterest expense was up $25.3 million, or 13.2%, for 2013 as compared to 2012. Several noninterest expense categories were affected by the acquisition of Alliance in March 2013 and the full year impact of the June 2012 acquisition of Hampshire First Bank, with salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses being the primary drivers of the increase. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $28.2 million, up from $22.8 million from 2012 due primarily to the increase in pre-tax income for 2013 and an increase in the effective tax rate to 31.3% for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with 29.5% for 2012.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $55.5 million, down 1.4% from the prior quarter, and up 14.2% from the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance. Excluding merger expenses totaling $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the fourth quarter and third quarter of 2013, respectively, noninterest expense was down $0.6 million, or 1.0%, for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the prior quarter. Income tax expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 was $8.8 million, up slightly from $8.6 million from the prior quarter, and up from $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2012 is due primarily to the increase in pre-tax income during the fourth quarter of 2013 over the fourth quarter of 2012.  The effective tax rate was 32.9% for the fourth quarter and 31.0% for the third quarter of 2013.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs were $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, equivalent to the year ended December 31, 2012. Net charge-offs to average loans for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 0.44%, compared to 0.55% for last year. NBT recorded a provision for loan losses of $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $20.3 million for 2012. This increase was due primarily to strong organic loan growth during 2013. 

Net charge-offs were $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, down from $6.2 million for the prior quarter, and down from $8.3 million from the three months ended December 31, 2012. NBT recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, equivalent to the prior quarter, and $6.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.     

Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.99% at December 31, 2013, up 16 bps from the prior quarter, and up from 0.98% at December 31, 2012. The increase from the prior quarter was due to an increase in commercial nonaccrual loans, driven primarily by one commercial relationship. Past due loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.77% for the fourth quarter as compared to 0.70% for the third quarter of 2013, and 0.71% as of December 31, 2012.   

The allowance for loan losses totaled $69.4 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $70.2 million at September 30, 2013 and $69.3 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.28% (1.55% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at December 31, 2013, compared to 1.31% (1.60% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at September 30, 2013 and 1.62% (1.72% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at December 31, 2012.
