TrustCo Announces Second Quarter Pretax Earnings Up 20%; Net Income Up 17%


GLENVILLE, N.Y., July 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo) (Nasdaq:TRST) today announced net income for the second quarter of 2012 of $9.1 million, up 16.7% over the prior-year period and equal to diluted earnings per share of $0.097, compared to net income of $7.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.100 for the second quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2012 per share results include the full quarter effect of the common stock offering completed on July 6, 2011.

On a pre-tax basis, earnings were up 19.5% from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2012 saw continued core balance sheet growth. Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, "We are pleased that the second quarter resulted in solid earnings and continued core loan and deposit growth. We look forward to the second half of 2012 with optimism, though we note that our industry continues to face challenges as the economy remains fragile and interest rates remain at unprecedented levels." Return on average equity and return on average assets were 10.49% and 0.83%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 11.76% and 0.77% for the second quarter of 2011. Increased capital from the common stock offering led to a lower return on average equity for the second quarter of 2012. The efficiency ratio was 52.24% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 51.33% for the second quarter of 2011. Both years ratios are industry leaders.

Mr. McCormick also noted, "We continue to see some signs of economic improvement in the markets in which we operate, although high levels of unemployment and other persistent issues continue to constrain any significant growth. We believe our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to maintain a strong balance sheet with continued profitability. As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has put us in a position to take advantage of the significant upheaval that customers of other banks have seen. We are particularly encouraged by the continued growth of our core loan and deposit portfolios."

TrustCo continued to report solid growth in loans and deposits on a year-over-year basis. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, average loans were up $151.9 million or 6.3% compared to the same period in 2011, while average deposits increased $248.8 million or 6.9% over the same period. Mr. McCormick noted that, "In addition to growth throughout the franchise, we are especially pleased with the progress that we have made in growing loans and deposits through our recently completed branch expansion program. 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. It is important to note, however, that we will not pursue balance sheet expansion that does not contribute to the bottom line. As interest rates continue to drift downward we will take advantage of opportunities to enhance our net interest margin even if that leads to a short period of flat or even declining deposits."

For the first six months of 2012 net income was $18.0 million and resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.192, as compared to the first six months of 2011 net income of $15.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.196. Net income was up 18.7% from the first six months of 2012 to the first six months of 2011. Return on average equity and return on average assets were 10.47% and 0.84%, respectively, for the first six months of 2012 and 11.69% and 0.76% for the comparable period in 2011.

Nonperforming loans were $51.5 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $51.2 million at March 31, 2012 and $49.5 million at June 30, 2011. Nonperforming assets were $55.3 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $54.9 million at March 31, 2012 and $54.4 million at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2012, nonperforming loans were equal to 2.01% of total loans, compared to 2.03% at March 31, 2012 and 2.04% at June 30, 2011. Nonperforming assets to total assets were 1.25% at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.25% at March 31, 2012 and 1.34% at June 30, 2011. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans and as a multiple of net charge-offs remains strong. The allowance to total loans was 1.88% at both June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, and covered annualized second quarter net charge-offs by 3.4 times, compared to an annualized 3.8 times for the second quarter of 2011. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 93.3% at June 30, 2012, compared to 94.9% at March 31, 2012 and 92.0% at June 30, 2011.

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2012 was 3.16%, down from 3.23% in the first quarter of 2012 and from 3.47% in the second quarter of 2011. The decline in the margin reflects the continued effect of the low rate environment on both the loan and investment portfolios, partly offset by lower deposit pricing as well as management's decision to maintain a higher level of short term liquidity.

On July 6, 2011 the Company completed an offering of 15.6 million common shares, raising net proceeds of $67.6 million. The additional capital significantly improved the Company's capital position. At June 30, 2012 the tangible equity ratio was 7.90% compared to 6.59% at June 30, 2011. Tangible book value per share also increased, from $3.47 per share to $3.73 per share over that period.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $4.4 billion savings and loan holding company and through its subsidiary, Trustco Bank, operated 137 offices in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Florida at June 30, 2012.

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. 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.
