GLENVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo) (Nasdaq:TRST) today announced third quarter of 2016 net income of $10.9 million compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2015.

Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We are pleased to be able to report an increase in earnings in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015. We are encouraged by the combination of revenue growth and expense decline in the quarter, despite a difficult operating environment and continued higher costs related to regulatory issues. Our continued focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to produce consistent 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. In terms of our core business, we continue to add customer relationships which ultimately drive future growth. We will continue to take advantage of opportunities as they are presented during the balance of 2016. Recent merger activity between our competitors, including the Key – First Niagara merger, may provide us with additional opportunities to add customers.”

TrustCo saw continued solid loan growth in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year. Loan portfolio expansion was funded primarily by our strong liquidity reserves. 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 third 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 third quarter of 2016, return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.90% and 10.05%, respectively, compared to 0.88% and 10.35% for the third quarter of 2015. The decline in return on average equity was due to continued growth of TrustCo’s capital position. Diluted earnings per share were $0.114 for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $0.111 for the third 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 costs related to those actions have continued into 2016. While some of these costs will be recurring, others will diminish over time. During the third quarter of 2016 we experienced a reduction in FDIC deposit insurance premiums and were also able to reduce expenses in a number of other categories.

For the first nine months of 2016, diluted net income per share was $0.333, compared to $0.337 for the first nine months of 2015. Return on average assets and equity were 0.89% and 9.97% for the first nine months of 2016, compared to 0.91% and 10.64% for the first nine months of 2015.

Average loans were up $108.7 million or 3.3% in the third quarter of 2016, over the same period in 2015. Loan growth was constrained by a $13.4 million decline in commercial loans, which have become less attractive on a risk adjusted basis. Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $130.3 million or 4.8% in the third quarter of 2016, over the same period in 2015. Average deposits were up $37.5 million or 0.9% for the third 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 $51.2 million from the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2016, while average time deposit balances declined $13.6 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 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 good progress expanding loans and deposits throughout our entire branch network. We expect that trend to continue as the newer branches continue to mature.”

“At September 30, 2016, our average branch size was $28.9 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 both September 30, 2015 and as compared to December 31, 2015. Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $26.0 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $31.9 million at September 30, 2015 and $28.3 million at December 31, 2015. NPLs were equal to 0.77% of total loans at September 30, 2016, compared to 0.97% a year earlier and 0.86% at December 31, 2015. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 169.0% at September 30, 2016, compared to 141.4% at September 30, 2015 and 158.4% at December 31, 2015. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were at $30.8 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $37.8 million at September 30, 2015 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2015. The ratio of loan loss allowance to total loans was 1.30% as of September 30, 2016, compared to 1.38% at September 30, 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 $44.0 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $45.2 million at September 30, 2015 and $44.8 million at December 31, 2015. Net chargeoffs for the third quarter of 2016 decreased versus both the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016, to $0.9 million. The net chargeoff ratio was 0.10% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.15% in the third quarter of 2015 and was at the lowest level since the first quarter of 2008. The provision for loan losses was $750 thousand, compared to $800 thousand in the third quarter of 2015.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2016 was 3.09%, the same as in the second quarter and a basis point higher than in the third quarter of 2015.

At September 30, 2016 the equity to asset ratio was 9.05%, compared to 8.91% at June 30, 2016 and 8.72% at September 30, 2015. The tangible equity ratio was 9.04% compared to 8.90% at June 30, 2016 and 8.71% at September 30, 2015. GAAP book value per share at September 30, 2016 was $4.56 compared to $4.33 a year earlier and tangible book value per share was $4.55 and $4.33, respectively. Tangible equity and book value are non-GAAP measures and are discussed on page 13.

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 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.
