Glenville, New York – April 22, 2024

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) today announced first quarter 2024 net income of $12.1 million or $0.64 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $17.7 million or $0.93 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter 2023. Average loan growth increased 5.2% or $249.4 million for the first quarter 2024 over the same period in 2023.

Overview

Chairman, President, and CEO, Robert J. McCormick said “Trustco Bank is known for its top-tier residential mortgage products and our customers, both existing and new, drove residential loan production up 3% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Commercial loans also grew, besting last year’s first quarter by 13%, for an increase in total loans of 4%.  Non-interest income and capital ratios are both up during the same period, and our team held the line on deposit run-off generating modest growth there as well.  Non-performing loans are steady and charge-offs resulted in a net recovery this quarter, consistent with our commitment to excellent credit quality.  All in all, we believe that we are well positioned for the year ahead.”

Details

Average loans were up $249.4 million or 5.2% in the first quarter 2024 over the same period in 2023.  Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $146.6 million, or 3.5%, in the first quarter 2024 over the same period in 2023.  Average commercial loans and home equity lines of credit also increased $38.3 million, or 16.0%, and $61.7 million, or 21.2%, respectively, in the first quarter 2024 over the same period in 2023.  Average deposits were up $141.6 million or 2.74% for the first quarter 2024 over the same period a year earlier. We believe the increase in time deposits continues to reflect the desire of customers to have additional funds in the safety and security offered by TrustCo’s long history of conservative banking. As we move forward, the objective is to encourage customers to retain these additional funds in the expanded product offerings of the Bank through aggressive marketing and product differentiation.

Net interest income was $36.6 million for the first quarter 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 5.3%, compared to the prior quarter, driven by a higher cost of deposits, partially offset by loan growth at higher interest rates.  The net interest margin for the first quarter 2024 was 2.44%, down 16 basis points from 2.60% in the fourth quarter of 2023.  The yield on interest earnings assets increased to 3.99%, up 6 basis points from 3.93% in the fourth quarter of 2023.  The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.99% in the first quarter 2024 from 1.72% in the fourth quarter 2023.  The Bank has seen the erosion of margin begin to slow when comparing the decrease to prior quarters and we are optimistic that we are nearing the bottom of this rate cycle.  The Federal Reserve’s decision regarding whether to cut or hold rates in the upcoming meetings will have an effect on our ability to decrease deposit costs which should help margin in future quarters.  During the first quarter of 2024 we have been able to lower the rates offered on our time deposits while continuing to retain and grow that product.  This should bring down the cost of time deposits over time.  Non-interest expense decreased $3.9 million over the prior quarter primarily as a result of lower salaries and employee benefits costs in the current quarter and a litigation settlement in the prior quarter.

Asset quality remains strong and has been consistent over the past twelve months.  The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $600 thousand in the first quarter of 2024, which is the result of a provision for credit losses on loans of $600 thousand, and there was no change in unfunded commitments.  The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 0.98% and 0.97% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  The allowance for credit losses on loans was $49.2 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $46.7 million at March 31, 2023.  NPLs were $18.3 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $19.2 million at March 31, 2023.  NPLs were 0.37% and 0.40% of total loans at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for credit losses on loans to NPLs, was 269.3% at March 31, 2024, compared to 243.6% at March 31, 2023.  NPAs were $20.6 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $21.0 million at March 31, 2023.

At March 31, 2024, our equity to asset ratio was 10.51%, compared to 10.17% at March 31, 2023.  Book value per share at March 31, 2024 was $34.12, up 5.6% compared to $32.31 a year earlier.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially for TrustCo from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements, and many of the risks and uncertainties are heightened by or may, in the future, be heightened by volatility in financial markets and macroeconomic or geopolitical concerns related to inflation, continued elevated interest rates and ongoing armed conflicts (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value by excluding the balance of intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity divided by shares outstanding. 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. Additionally, we believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period to period in equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

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 total 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.  Additionally, we believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period to period in equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

Net interest income is commonly presented on a taxable equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution’s net interest income will be exempt from taxation (e.g., was received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added back to the net interest income total. Management considers this adjustment helpful to investors in comparing one financial institution’s net interest income (pre- tax) to that of another institution, as each will have a different proportion of tax-exempt items in their portfolios. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of another financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest earning assets.  Additionally, management and many financial institutions also present net interest spread, which is the average yield on interest earning assets minus the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. For purposes of these measures as well, taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, again to provide investors with a better basis of comparison from institution to institution. We calculate taxable equivalent net interest margin by dividing net interest income, adjusted to include the benefit of non-taxable interest income, by average interest earning assets.  We calculate taxable equivalent net interest spread as the difference between average yield on interest earning assets, adjusted to include the benefit of non-taxable interest income, and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to revenue from net interest income and non-interest fee income.  We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, excluding other real estate expense, net, strategic branch closing costs, and a non-recurring expense related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit, by net interest income (fully taxable equivalent) and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, excluding gain/loss on the disposal of assets from strategic branch closures from this calculation.  We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue.  Additionally, we believe this measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in our productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

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 equity as a percentage of tangible assets, and efficiency ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set forth below.  We have not presented a reconciliation of taxable equivalent net interest income, taxable equivalent net interest margin or taxable equivalent net interest spread to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as there was no difference between the taxable equivalent measure and comparable GAAP measure for any period presented in this release.
