GLENVILLE, N.Y., April 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo) (Nasdaq:TRST) today announced first quarter of 2016 net income of $10.4 million compared to $10.2 million  for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2015. 

Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We are pleased to be able to report relatively stable earnings despite added operating costs in response to recent regulatory concerns and a difficult operating environment.  Our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to produce stable earnings, maintain strong liquidity and capital and allowed us to continue to grow our business and take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions.”

Mr. McCormick also noted, “We consider our first quarter 2016 results to be solid and are encouraged by the increase in pre-tax earnings from the fourth quarter of 2015.  In terms of our core business, we continue to make solid progress, adding customer relationships which ultimately position 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 will continue taking advantage of opportunities as they are presented during the balance of 2016.”

TrustCo saw continued solid loan growth in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year.  Loan portfolio expansion was funded by deposit growth.  The continued shift toward loans helped offset the margin impact from continued comparatively low yields on cash and investments.  The growth in average deposits in the first quarter of 2016 versus the prior year was led by lower cost core deposits.  TrustCo’s strong liquidity position continues to allow the Company to take advantage of opportunities when interest rate conditions change.

For the first quarter of 2016, return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.89% and 9.98%, respectively, compared to 0.93% and 10.91% for the first quarter of 2015.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.109 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.113 for the first quarter of 2015.  As discussed in recent quarters, increased operating costs in response to regulatory concerns have hampered earnings.  Higher expenses were anticipated in order to fulfill operating and regulatory requirements.  We took aggressive action to meet these requirements during 2015 and those efforts continue into 2016.  These efforts resulted in added costs in both 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.  While some of these costs will be recurring, others will diminish over time.

Average loans were up $122.3 million or 3.9% in the first quarter of 2016, over the same period in 2015.  Average deposits were up $39.9 million or 1.0% for the first quarter of 2016 over the same period a year earlier.  The increase in deposits came from core deposit accounts, which consist of checking, savings and money market deposits.  Average core deposits increased $85.8 million from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016, more than offsetting a decline in time deposit balances.  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 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 March 31, 2016, our average branch size was $28.6 million.  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 loan loss reserve measures mostly improved versus March 31, 2015, but were mixed as compared to December 31, 2015.  Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $30.4 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $33.5 million at March 31, 2015 and $28.3 million at December 31, 2015.  The slight increase in NPLs was due to residential real estate nonperforming loans in the New York region.  NPLs were equal to 0.92% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.05% a year earlier and 0.86% at December 31, 2015.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 146.3% at March 31, 2016, compared to 137.2% at March 31, 2015 and 158.4% at December 31, 2015.  Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were at $36.0 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $40.4 million at March 31, 2015 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2015.  The ratio of loan loss allowance to total loans was 1.34% as of March 31, 2016, compared to 1.44% at March 31, 2015 and to 1.36% at December 31, 2015 and reflects both the improvement in asset quality and economic conditions in our lending areas.  The allowance for loan losses was $44.4 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $45.9 million at March 31, 2015 and $44.8 million at December 31, 2015.  Net chargeoffs for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by $523 thousand or 31% versus the fourth quarter of 2015, which was also reflected in the reduction in the provision for loan losses of $500 thousand from the fourth quarter to the first quarter.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 3.13% compared to 3.14% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 3.08% in the first quarter of 2015. 

At March 31, 2016 the tangible equity ratio was 8.87% compared to 8.44% at March 31, 2015 and 8.72% at December 31, 2015.  The equity to asset ratio was 8.88% at March 31, 2016, compared to 8.45% at March 31, 2015 and 8.73% at December 31, 2015.  Tangible book value per share at March 31, 2016 was $4.43 compared to $4.21 a year earlier and GAAP book value per share was $4.44 and $4.22, respectively.  Non-GAAP measures are discussed on page 10.

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. 

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.
