NORWICH, NY (July 22, 2013) – NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $16.9 million, up from $7.6 million from the prior quarter, which included $10.7 million in merger related expenses.  Reported results from the second quarter of 2013 include the impact of the acquisition of Alliance Financial Corporation (“Alliance”), and $1.3 million in merger related expenses.  Reported earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.38 as compared to $0.21 from the previous quarter.

Core net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $17.8 million, up 25.0% from $14.3 million from the previous quarter, due primarily to the full quarter impact from the March 8, 2013 acquisition of Alliance.  Core diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.40, up from $0.39 for the previous quarter.

Reported net income from the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $24.6 million, down from $26.9 million for the same period last year.  2013 results included the impact of the acquisition of Alliance, including approximately $12.0 million in merger related expenses.  Reported diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.61, as compared to $0.80 for the same period in 2012.

Core net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $32.1 million, up 19.6% from $26.8 million from the same period in 2012, due primarily to the impact of the Alliance acquisition.  Core diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.79, as compared to $0.80 for the same period last year.

"We are pleased to report that NBT continued to produce strong results through the first two quarters of 2013," said NBT CEO Martin Dietrich. "Our recent acquisition of Alliance and our consistent ability to generate organic loan growth are key drivers of these results that demonstrate our combined focus on banking fundamentals and disciplined, strategic acquisition are yielding positive results. We continue to operate in an environment that presents both economic and regulatory challenges, but our seasoned team of financial professionals remains focused on delivering long-term value to our shareholders and customers."

Net interest income was $61.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, up 18.2% from the prior quarter.  This increase was due primarily to the 16.5% increase in average earning assets and a stable net interest margin.  The increase in earnings assets in the second quarter 2013 compared to the prior quarter resulted primarily from the acquisition of Alliance combined with strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2013.

The Company’s Federal Taxable Equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin was 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, up slightly from 3.68% from the prior quarter.  Rate compression on earning assets continued to negatively impact net interest margin in the second quarter of 2013 as evidenced by decreasing loan yields from 4.87% for the first quarter of 2013 to 4.76% for the second quarter of 2013.  In addition, yields on available for sale securities declined 12 basis points (“bp”) in the second quarter of 2013 from the prior quarter due primarily to the reinvestment of cash flows from maturing securities into lower yielding securities in the current rate environment.  The rate compression on earning assets was offset by the 14 bp decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2013 versus the previous quarter.  This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in rates paid on interest bearing deposits, most notably time deposits, as well as a reduction in the cost of long term borrowings as maturing higher cost borrowings were replaced with lower rate short term borrowings during the period.

Net interest income was $113.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, up 14.8% from the same period in 2012.  This increase from the previous year was due primarily to the 20.1% increase in average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 over the prior year.  The acquisition of Alliance in March 2013 as well as strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2013 contributed to the growth in average earning assets.

The Company’s FTE net interest margin was 3.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, down from 3.86% for the same period last year.  Rate compression on earning assets continued to negatively impact net interest margin for the first six months of 2013 as evidenced by decreasing loan yields from 5.25% for the first six months of 2012 to 4.81% for the first six months of 2013.  In addition, yields on available for sale securities declined 54 bp in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.  The rate compression on earning assets was partially offset by the 22 bp decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $25.5 million, up 1.2% from the prior quarter.  Substantial increases in trust revenue (up $1.8 million) and ATM and debit card fees (up $0.8 million) for the second quarter of 2013 versus the prior quarter were primarily driven by the acquisition of Alliance.  These increases were partially offset by a 16.5% decrease in insurance and other financial services revenue from the previous quarter, due primarily to insurance contingent revenue recorded during the first quarter.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $50.8 million, up 16.1% from the same period in 2012, with the primary drivers being the aforementioned increases in trust revenue and ATM and debit card fees.  In addition, the Company experienced a significant increase (10.6%) in insurance and financial services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, due primarily to an increase in insurance contingent revenue in 2013.  Retirement plan administration fees were also up 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 due to growth in new business of 2012.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $56.5 million, down $4.3 million or 7.0%, from the prior quarter.  Excluding merger expenses totaling $1.3 million and $10.7 million during the second quarter and first quarter of 2013, respectively, noninterest expense was up $5.2 million, or 10.3%, for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the prior quarter.  Salaries and employee benefits were up 7.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior quarter due primarily to the acquisition of Alliance.  Income tax expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 was $7.4 million, up from $3.4 million from the previous quarter due to the increase in pre-tax income during the second quarter.  The effective tax rate was 30.5% for the first and second quarters of 2013.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $117.2 million, up $21.3 million or 22.2%, from the same period in 2012.  Excluding merger expenses totaling $12.0 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, noninterest expense was up $10.7 million, or 11.3%, for the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.  Several noninterest expense categories were affected by the acquisition of Alliance and Hampshire First Bank with salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses being the primary drivers of the increase over last year.  Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $10.8 million, down from $11.5 million from the same period in 2012 due to the decrease in pre-tax income for the first six months of 2013, offset slightly by the increase in the effective tax rate to 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with 30.0% for the same period last year.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $5.7 million for the previous quarter.  This increase was due primarily to a $1.4 million specific reserve established on a commercial real estate loan during the second quarter and loan growth during the period, partially offset by a general improvement in asset quality indicators.  Net charge-offs were $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, down from $6.3 million for the previous quarter, due primarily to the first quarter charge-off of one large commercial loan that was previously reserved for.  Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 0.30%, compared to 0.56% for the previous quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $8.6 million for the same period in 2012.  This increase was due primarily to the aforementioned specific reserve in the second quarter of 2013 and organic loan growth during the period, partially offset by a general improvement in asset quality indicators.  Net charge-offs were $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, up from $9.2 million from the same period in 2012 due primarily to the 2013 first quarter charge-off of one large commercial loan that was previously reserved for.  Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 0.42%, compared to 0.48% for the same period last year.

Nonperforming loans to total loans improved to 0.80% at June 30, 2013, down 3 bps from the prior quarter, and down from 0.98% at December 31, 2012.  Past due loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.71% at June 30, 2013, down from 0.81% at March 31, 2013.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $71.2 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $68.7 million at March 31, 2013 and $69.3 million at December 31, 2012.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.35% (1.68% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.32% (1.69% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at March 31, 2013 and 1.62% (1.72% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at December 31, 2012.
