GLENVILLE, N.Y., April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) today announced first quarter 2021 net income of $14.1 million or $0.146 diluted earnings per share.   Average residential loan growth increased 5.2% or $187.5 million for the first quarter 2021 compared to the first quarter 2020.

Summary
Robert J. McCormick, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “Trustco Bank has remained a “hometown bank” for thousands of our customers and community members during one of our nation’s most challenging years. Over the last year, we prioritized strengthening our communities and adapting our offerings to address the changing needs of our customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the uncertainty, our reliable and consistent approach has left us well-positioned to help our customers through this economic disruption and turmoil.”

Overall we are very pleased to share that TrustCo now has assets in excess of $6 billion. Our Northeast region has steadfastly maintained our core franchise in an area that we have served for decades. Additionally, our Florida region passed two major milestones, reaching over $1 billion in deposits and $1 billion in loans. Our Financial Services Department also has over $1 billion in assets under management. As we enter a traditionally busy season for residential lending, the Bank is ready to deploy its existing liquidity into our residential loan portfolio and we will be paying close attention to how the market changes.

We also continue to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on our business and results of operations. We have been encouraged to see that most of our residential and commercial borrowers who had payment deferral arrangements with us have returned to making regular loan payments. As of March 31, 2021, loans in deferral were not material. Additionally, the Bank had funded 663 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling $46 million in 2020, and an additional $17 million in the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, 531 PPP loans totaling $37 million remain outstanding.

Details

Average loans were up $173.3 million or 4.3% in the first quarter 2021 over the same period in 2020. Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $187.5 million, or 5.2%, in the first quarter 2021 over the same period in 2020. Average deposits were up $630.3 million or 14.2% for the first quarter 2021 over the same period a year earlier. The increase in deposits was the result of a $738.2 million or 24.1% increase in total average core deposit accounts, which consist of interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking, savings and money market deposits, offset by a decrease in average time deposits of $108.0 million or 7.9%, for the first quarter 2021 over the same period in 2020. Within the core deposits, checking balances were up $428.4 million or 32.2% (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking balances), money market balances were up $111.4 million or 18.1%, and savings balances were up $198.5 million or 17.8%.   We believe the increase in core 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.  

The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.21% in the first quarter 2021 from 0.79% in the first quarter 2020. A significant portion of our CD portfolio (time deposits) repriced during the last year, which resulted in a decrease in average rates to 0.54% in the first quarter of 2021 from 1.88% in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the ongoing market conditions. The net interest margin for the first quarter 2021 was 2.78%, down 27 basis points from 3.05% in the first quarter of 2020. This was primarily due to the decrease in market rates throughout 2020 resulting in less interest earned on our short-term funds, residential and variable rate loans.

The Bank continued to demonstrate its ability to grow shareholders’ equity as average equity was up $28.6 million or 5.3% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the first quarter 2021 were 0.96% and 10.01%, respectively, compared to 1.03% and 9.87% for the first quarter 2020. Improving efficiencies to reduce costs continues to remain a key area of focus.

Asset quality and loan loss reserve measures have stayed consistent. Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $21.6 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $20.7 million at March 31, 2020. NPLs were 0.51% of total loans at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 231.1% at March 31, 2021, compared to 222.5% at March 31, 2020. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $22.1 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $22.0 million at March 31, 2020. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.17% as of March 31, 2021, compared to 1.13% at March 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses was $50.0 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $46.2 million at March 31, 2020. The provision for loan losses decreased to $350 thousand for the first quarter 2021 compared to $2 million in the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the beginning of the uncertainty in the economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in the same period in the prior year. The Company had previously elected to delay its adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”), as provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) until the date on which the National Emergency concerning COVID-19 was terminated or December 31, 2020, whichever occurred first.  The December 31, 2020 adoption date under the CARES Act was extended to January 1, 2022 as a part of the COVID-19 relief legislation, which became law in December 2020, and therefore the Company intends to adopt CECL on January 1, 2022.

Net recoveries for the first quarter 2021 were $46 thousand versus net chargeoffs in the first quarter 2020 of $162 thousand. The annualized net chargeoffs ratio was 0.00% and 0.02% for the first quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively.

At March 31, 2021 the tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 9.44%, compared to 10.42% at March 31, 2020. Book value per share at March 31, 2021 was $5.92, up 4.2% compared to $5.68 a year earlier.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $6.0 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 March 31, 2021.

In addition, the Bank’s Financial Services Department offers a full range of investment services, retirement planning and trust and estate administration services. The common shares of TrustCo are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol TRST.

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 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.
