TrustCo Announces Second Quarter 2015 Earnings;
Core Net Income Up 5%

GLENVILLE, N.Y., July 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --    

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo) (Nasdaq:TRST) today announced that second quarter of 2015 core net income rose 4.9% to $10.7 million compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. Second quarter 2014 results included a gain of $2.4 million on the previously disclosed sale of owned real estate that added $1.6 million to reported after-tax earnings. On a GAAP basis, second quarter 2014 net income was $11.8 million compared to $10.7 million in 2015.

Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “Our core results for the second quarter of 2015 build off of the solid results of the first quarter. In addition to core net income growth, we continued to add customer relationships which ultimately positions our business well for the future. Our highly liquid balance sheet continues to allow us to fund our loan growth without having to overpay for deposits. We look forward to the second half of 2015 with optimism. We will continue taking advantage of opportunities as they are presented.”

TrustCo saw continued strong loan growth in the second quarter of 2015. Loan portfolio expansion was funded by utilization of a portion of the Bank’s large cash position. Growth in core deposits was used to offset declines in higher cost certificates of deposit and cash management accounts, which are significantly more costly than core deposits. The continued shift toward loans helped offset the margin impact from continued comparatively low yields on cash and investments. TrustCo’s strong liquidity position continues to allow the Company to take advantage of opportunities when interest rate conditions change.

Mr. McCormick also noted, “We are encouraged by the continued economic improvements in our market areas. We are pleased with the continued improvement in our asset quality during both the second quarter and over the last year. Our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to maintain strong liquidity and capital and report continued profit improvements. As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has put us in a position to take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions.”

For the second quarter of 2015, return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.91% and 10.66%, respectively, compared to 1.03% and 12.50% for the second quarter of 2014, all on a reported GAAP basis.  Reported GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.113 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $0.125 for the second quarter of 2014. Higher levels of assets and shareholders’ equity as well as the $2.4 million gain noted earlier contributed to the decline in return on average assets and equity. Core diluted net income per share was $0.112 for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.108 for the second quarter of 2014.The reconciliation between core and GAAP earnings is shown in the table at the back of this release.

For the first six months of 2015, core diluted net income per share was $0.225, compared to $0.213 for the first six months of 2014. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.225, compared to $0.241 over the same time periods. GAAP return on average assets and equity were 0.92% and 10.78% for the first six months of 2015, compared to 1.01% and 12.30% for the first six months of 2014.

Average loans were up $252.5 million or 8.5% in the second quarter of 2015, over the same period in 2014. Average deposits were up $138.8 million or 3.5% for the second quarter of 2015 over the same period a year earlier. Most of the increase in deposits came from core deposit accounts. Average core deposits increased $92.8 million from the second quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2015. 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 core deposit base reflect 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. We opened one new office during the second quarter, in Orlando, Florida and now have a 50 branch network covering Central Florida. We continue to make significant progress expanding loans and deposits throughout our entire branch network. We expect that trend to continue as the newer branches continue to mature. 

"At June 30, 2015, our average branch size was $28.3 million. On a same store basis, our average deposits per branch grew by $942 thousand from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015. We have always designed our branches to be smaller and more cost effective than those built by many of our competitors. We use open floor plans that help maximize the value of our branches. We remain mindful that fully achieving our goals for newer branches will take time and continued work. We believe success in growing customer relationships provides basic building blocks that will help drive profit growth for the coming years.”

Asset quality and the allowance for loan losses coverage of nonperforming loans (NPLs) improved from both June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015 to June 30, 2015. NPLs declined to $32.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $40.9 million at June 30, 2014 and $33.5 million at March 31, 2015. NPLs were equal to 1.00% of total loans at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.36% a year earlier and 1.05% at March 31, 2015. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 140.3% at June 30, 2015, compared to 137.2% at March 31, 2015 and 114.7% at June 30, 2014. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) declined to $38.6 million from $40.4 million at March 31, 2015 and $49.2 million at June 30, 2014. Overall, virtually every asset quality indicator improved during the second quarter of 2015 relative to the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. The ratio of loan loss allowance to total loans was 1.41% as of June 30, 2015, compared to 1.44% at March 31, 2015 and to 1.56% at June 30, 2014 and reflects both the improvement in asset quality and economic conditions in our lending areas. The allowance for loan losses was $45.6 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $45.9 million at March 31, 2015 and $46.9 million at June 30, 2014.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 3.07% compared to 3.08% in the first quarter of 2015 and 3.16% in the second quarter of 2014. 

At June 30, 2015 the tangible equity ratio was 8.48% compared to 8.44% at March 31, 2015 and 8.38% at June 30, 2014. Tangible book value per share at June 30, 2015 was $4.23 compared to $4.06 a year earlier.  

Trustco Bank entered into an agreement with its primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), on July 21, 2015. The agreement calls for the Bank to take various actions in areas such as compliance, corporate governance, audit, capital planning including dividends, and strategic planning, among others. The agreement followed the completion of the OCC’s regularly scheduled exam of the Bank. Since the completion of the examination, the Bank has been working to address the issues raised. The Bank’s board of directors and management are committed to taking the necessary actions to fully address the provisions of the agreement and believe they have made significant progress towards that goal. Implementing the necessary action plans is expected to add annualized expenses of between $2.5 and $5.0 million.

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 revenue from net interest income and fee income. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, but excluding other real estate expense, net, by net interest income (fully taxable equivalent) and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains on the sale of a building, nonperforming loans and securities from this calculation. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue. 

Core net income (“core earnings”) and core net income (“core earnings”) per share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate core earnings by excluding the net after-tax gain on the sale of the proposed Florida operations building during the first quarter of 2014, the net after-tax gain on an significant sale of an ORE property in the second quarter of 2014 and net after-tax gains on the sale of non-performing loans in both the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015 from net income and from net income per share. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core net income (earnings).

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, efficiency ratio, net income and net income per share to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
