FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TrustCo Announces Third Quarter Earnings

Glenville, New York –October 21, 2013

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, Nasdaq: TRST) today announced that net income rose to $10.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, up 5.1% from $9.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Third quarter net income is up 11.1% over the same period two years ago and 29.6% over the same period four years ago.

TrustCo saw continued strong loan growth in the third quarter of 2013 along with an increase in the average yield on loans for the first time since the third quarter of 2008.  Loan growth was funded by continued growth of low cost retail deposits along with a shift from lower yielding investment securities, helping to boost the average yield on earning assets.  Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “Our results for the third quarter of 2013 continued the progress we made in the first half of the year in terms of bottom line growth and in positioning our business for the balance of the year and beyond.  In addition to the gain in net income, we continue to add profitable customer relationships on both the loan and deposit sides of the Bank.  Our highly liquid balance sheet allowed us to fund much of our loan growth without having to overpay for deposits.  In fact, our cost of interest-bearing deposits continued to decline in the third quarter relative to the second quarter.  We look forward to the final quarter of 2013 and to 2014 with optimism, though we note that our industry continues to face challenges as the economy remains fragile and interest rate environment remains mixed.  We will continue to take advantage of opportunities as they are presented.”

Mr. McCormick also noted “We continue to see signs of economic improvement in the markets in which we operate, particularly Florida, although unemployment and other persistent issues continue to constrain any significant economic 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 and continued profitability.  As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has significantly enhanced our reputation and put us in a position to take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions.”

Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.91% and 11.64%, respectively for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 0.89% and 10.97% for the third quarter of 2012.  Earnings per share were $0.109 for the third quarter of 2013, up 4.8% from $0.104 for the third quarter of 2012.  For the first nine months of 2013, TrustCo earned $29.2 million or $0.310 per share, compared to $27.7 million or $0.296 per share in the first nine months of 2012.

On a year-over-year basis, average loans were up $213.7 million or 8.3% in the third quarter of 2013, over the same period in 2012.  Average deposits were up $48.2 million over the same period.  Management took action to incent customers to move some funds into certificates with slightly longer maturities, which will be helpful as rates rise without having a material impact on the current cost of funds.  Core deposits typically represent longer term customer relationships and are generally lower cost than time deposits.  71.2% of average third quarter deposits were core.  Mr. McCormick noted that, “The year-over-year growth of our loans and the shift in our deposit base reflects 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 opened one office, in Ormond Beach, Florida, during the third quarter.  We recently celebrated the ten year anniversary of our expansion program, and have made significant progress expanding loans and deposits through our branches.  We expect that trend to continue as the new branches continue to grow.  We also note we have always designed our branches to be smaller and more cost effective than those built by many of our competitors.  We have utilized open floor plans that help maximize the value of our branches.  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.”

Asset quality, reserve coverage of nonperforming loans (NPLs) and reserve coverage of net charge-offs all improved from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.  NPLs declined to $41.7 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $52.7 million at December 31, 2012 and nonperforming assets (NPAs) declined to $51.6 million from $61.4 million over the same period.   NPLs were equal to 1.47% of total loans at quarter-end, compared to 1.96% at year-end.  For the third quarter of 2013 the allowance covered annualized third quarter net charge-offs by 8.7 times, compared to an annualized 3.3 times for the third quarter of 2012.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 114.4% at September 30, 2013, compared to 91.0% at December 31, 2012.  Overall, every asset quality indicator improved during the third quarter of 2013.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2013 was 3.12%, compared to 3.21% in the third quarter of 2012 and 3.10% in the second quarter of 2013.

At September 30, 2013 the tangible equity ratio was 7.94% compared to 8.27% at September 30, 2012 and 7.83% at June 30, 2013.  Tangible book value per share ended the third quarter at $3.75 compared to $3.81 in the year-ago period.

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. 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 and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
