TrustCo Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results; Net Income of $14.7 Million and 5.3% Average Residential Loan Growth Year over Year


GLENVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) · TrustCo Bank Corp NY today announced third quarter 2019 net income of $14.7 million or $0.152 diluted earnings per share compared to $15.2 million or $0.157 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2018 despite an increase of $4.7 million in interest expense during the same time period. Similar results were noted during the nine month period wherein net income was $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus $45.4 million for the same period in 2018 while total interest expense increased by $12.9 million.          

Summary

Robert J. McCormick, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We are pleased to be able to report an increase in average residential loan growth of 5.3% or $175.6 million in the third quarter 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018.  Our focus on traditional lending criteria, conservative balance sheet management and expense control 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.  Our strong financial condition is evidenced by our continued recognition as a BauerFinancial, Inc. 5-Star Superior Bank Rating.”  Average deposits increased 5.6% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018.  Mr. McCormick further added “We continue to add core customer relationships, which ultimately drive future growth.  Loan growth and stabilizing cost of funds as a result of federal rate cuts have put us in a good position as we move forward.”

TrustCo saw solid loan growth in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year led by an increase in residential mortgages.  Loan portfolio expansion was funded by a combination of utilizing our strong cash balances and growth in our deposit base.  TrustCo’s strong liquidity position continues to allow it to take advantage of opportunities when interest rate conditions change.

Details

Average loans were up $158.4 million or 4.2% in the third quarter 2019 over the same period in 2018.  Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $175.6 million or 5.3% in the third quarter 2019, over the same period in 2018.  Average deposits are up $236.4 million or 5.6% for the third quarter 2019 over the same period a year earlier.  The increase in deposits was the result of a $301.1 million or 26.0% increase in average time deposits over the same period last year.  Excluding time deposits, total average core deposit accounts, which consist of checking, savings and money market deposits accounts, were down $64.7 million or 2.1% for the third quarter 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018. 

The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.94% in the third quarter 2019 from 0.52% in the third quarter 2018.  The cost of savings and interest bearing checking decreased slightly by 2 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively, from the third quarter 2018.  Money market deposits increased 41 basis points to 0.83% versus 0.42% from the third quarter 2018. A significant portion of our CD portfolio is expected to reprice during the fourth quarter which at current lower market rates will have a positive impact on net interest margin.  The net interest spread for the third quarter 2019 was 2.88%, down 38 basis points from 3.26% in the third quarter of 2018.  Net interest income (TE) decreased by 4.6% or $1.9 million over the same period last year.  Because we offered competitive shorter term rates, we expect margin to stabilize in the fourth quarter of 2019 as our shorter term time deposits could reprice lower and provide opportunity for increased margin expansion.

The Bank continued to demonstrate its ability to grow shareholders’ equity as average equity was up $46.5 million or 9.8% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  On this expanded equity, return on average assets and return on average equity for the third quarter 2019 were 1.12% and 11.19%, respectively, compared to 1.24% and 12.84% for the third quarter 2018.  Improving efficiencies to reduce costs continues to remain a key area of focus.  Total operating expenses decreased by $474 thousand or 1.9% in the third quarter 2019 as compared to the third quarter 2018, driven by decreases in advertising expense, FDIC and other insurance expense, and other real estate expense, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits. The growth in salaries and benefit expense was the result of our targeted effort to hire and retain talent.

Asset quality and the resulting loan loss reserve measures continued to improve.  Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $21.0 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $23.8 million at September 30, 2018.  NPLs were 0.53% of total loans at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.62% at September 30, 2018.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 210.9% at September 30, 2019, compared to 188.0% at September 30, 2018.  Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $23.4 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $26.1 million at September 30, 2018.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.11% as of September 30, 2019, compared to 1.17% at September 30, 2018 which reflects both an improvement in asset quality and economic conditions in our lending areas.  The allowance for loan losses was $44.3 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $44.7 million at September 30, 2018.  Net chargeoffs for the third quarter 2019 were $36 thousand versus $67 thousand in the third quarter 2018.  As a result of the aforementioned loan growth and improvement in asset quality trends, the Company did not record a provision for loan losses during the third quarter 2019.

At September 30, 2019 the tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 10.07%, compared to 9.76% at September 30, 2018.  As mentioned earlier, the Company is proud of its ability to grow shareholders’ equity.  Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2019 was $5.42, up 9.94% compared to $4.93 a year earlier.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $5.2 billion savings and loan holding company and through its subsidiary, Trustco Bank, operated 148 offices in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Florida at September 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end is a non-GAAP financial measure 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 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 and other non-routine items 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 results. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and 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.
